Don_Horhe Posted December 30, 2009 at 02:39 PM Report Posted December 30, 2009 at 02:39 PM (edited) I hope that they, especially the second one, will be better than the bilingual version of the 现代汉语词典. I mean better in terms of more and better explanations and definitions, giving parts of speech for both single-character and compound words, NOT HAVING example sentences like "看到经济特区全面迅速的发展，感受很深。" translated as "I was deeply impressed by the rapid development in the special economic zones." for 感受, etc. Edited December 30, 2009 at 03:39 PM by Don_Horhe Stupid question, the dictionaries not being out yet...

Don_Horhe Posted January 31, 2010 at 03:54 AM Report Posted January 31, 2010 at 03:54 AM (edited) Both dictionaries are currently available on Amazon.cn : 汉英词典(第3版) for ¥142.40 and 汉英大词典(第3版) for ¥190.40. Both mark parts of speech, although the second one does that for single characters only. The second one also gives Chinese definitions alongside the English, but, again, that is limited to single character entries. Edited February 1, 2010 at 02:22 PM by Don_Horhe Quote
