Welcome to the second edition of the Cambridge AdvancedLearner's Dictionary. English is constantly evolving with new wordscoming into the language all the time. It is hard to believe thatwords like‘website’‘text messaging’or‘reality TV’were unknownto most people just a few years ago, when now they are in commonuse. Dictionaries have to keep up with thi-s change, and thisedition contains a wealth of new vocabulary. Of course, a lot of itcomes from the world of computers and the Internet (e.g. blog,whiteboard, graphics card), but many other areas are represented(e.g. speed dating, superbug, hoody).歡迎使(shi)(shi)用《劍橋高階英語(yu)學習(xi)詞典》的(de)第二版。英語(yu)不斷(duan)地發展演變,每(mei)時每(mei)刻都有新(xin)(xin)詞成為其(qi)中(zhong)的(de)一員。很難相信(xin),諸如(ru)webs-ite,text messaging和(he)realityTV之類(lei)現已廣泛(fan)使(shi)(shi)用的(de)詞匯,就在(zai)幾年前還鮮為人知。詞典必須跟上(shang)這(zhe)些變化,本版便收(shou)錄(lu)了大(da)量的(de)新(xin)(xin)詞。當然,其(qi)中(zhong)很多新(xin)(xin)詞來(lai)自計算機和(he)因(yin)特網領(ling)(ling)域(yu)(例(li)如(ru)blog,whiteboard, graphics card),但(dan)也有不少來(lai)自其(qi)他領(ling)(ling)域(yu)(例(li)如(ru)speed datin-g, superbug,hoody)。
A major feature of this edition is the introduction of theFrequency Information system. It is special because it shows th-erelative importance not only of words but also of their meanings,and of individual phrases. To create this system, res-earchers useddata from our corpus. They extracted all the high-frequency wordsand then coded examples of them to work o-ut the frequency of theirdifferent meanings.引入詞(ci)頻信息(xi)系統(tong)是本版詞(ci)典的(de)一(yi)大特點。其重(zhong)要(yao)意義(yi)在于,它不僅顯示了(le)詞(ci)語(yu)的(de)相對(dui)重(zhong)要(yao)性(xing),還顯示了(le)各義(yi)項以及每個短(duan)語(yu)的(de)相對(dui)重(zhong)要(yao)性(xing)。為了(le)開發這個系統(tong),研究人員使用了(le)我們語(yu)料(liao)庫中的(de)語(yu)料(liao)。他們從中選出了(le)所有的(de)高頻詞(ci)語(yu),然后對(dui)各詞(ci)語(yu)的(de)例證進(jin)行編碼,從而計算出不同(tong)義(yi)項的(de)使用頻率(lv)。
The resulting system gives students a clear guide to the mostimportant words and meanings to learn最(zui)終生(sheng)成的(de)詞頻(pin)系統清晰地告訴學生(sheng)們學習(xi)哪些詞匯、哪些義項才是最(zui)重要的(de):
Meanings marked are words which everyone needs to know inorder to communicate effectively. They areeither extremelycomm-on (usually over 400 occurrences per 10 million corpus words),or they express core concepts (e.g. asleep). There are abo-ut 4900of these meanings. 標(biao)有E(Essential基礎詞匯)的(de)(de)(de)義項(xiang)是每(mei)(mei)個人為達到有效交流的(de)(de)(de)目的(de)(de)(de)必須掌握的(de)(de)(de)詞語(yu)。它們要么極為常(chang)用(在語(yu)料(liao)庫中一般每(mei)(mei)千(qian)萬詞出現400次以上),要么表示核心概念(例(li)如asleep)。這類義項(xiang)約有4900個。
Meanings marked are also common in native speaker English(typically between 200~400 occurrences per 10m corpus words). Li-keEssential, this band can include less common words which expressuseful concepts. There are about 3300 of these meanin-gs.標(biao)有I(Improver中級(ji)詞(ci)匯(hui))的義(yi)項(xiang)在母語(yu)為英語(yu)的人群中也很(hen)常(chang)用(在語(yu)料庫中一(yi)(yi)般每(mei)千(qian)萬詞(ci)出現200~400次(ci))。和基(ji)礎詞(ci)匯(hui)一(yi)(yi)樣,中級(ji)詞(ci)匯(hui)包括一(yi)(yi)些表示(shi)有用概(gai)念的不太常(chang)用的詞(ci)匯(hui)。這類(lei)義(yi)項(xiang)約有3300個。
Something else new in this edition is the 400 boxes givingconcise collocation information for common words. Knowing how t-oput a word in context is vital for fluent English, and these boxessupplement the 25 000 collocations shown in heavy ty-pe in theexample sentences.本版詞(ci)(ci)典(dian)的(de)新穎之處還有(you):它為常用詞(ci)(ci)匯設置了(le)400個簡明(ming)的(de)搭(da)配(pei)信息(xi)框(kuang)。英(ying)語(yu)要達(da)到流利程度,知道如何將一(yi)個詞(ci)(ci)置于(yu)語(yu)境(jing)中至關重要。這些搭(da)配(pei)信息(xi)框(kuang)就是對(dui)例句中以粗體字顯示(shi)的(de)25000個搭(da)配(pei)的(de)有(you)益補(bu)充。
