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).歡迎使用(yong)《劍橋高階英語學習詞(ci)(ci)典》的(de)第(di)二版。英語不斷(duan)地發展演變,每(mei)時每(mei)刻都有新詞(ci)(ci)成為(wei)其(qi)中的(de)一(yi)員。很(hen)難相(xiang)信,諸(zhu)如webs-ite,text messaging和realityTV之類現已(yi)廣泛使用(yong)的(de)詞(ci)(ci)匯,就在(zai)幾(ji)年前還鮮為(wei)人知。詞(ci)(ci)典必須跟上這些(xie)變化,本版便收錄了大量的(de)新詞(ci)(ci)。當然,其(qi)中很(hen)多新詞(ci)(ci)來自計算(suan)機(ji)和因特(te)網領域(例如blog,whiteboard, graphics card),但也(ye)有不少來自其(qi)他(ta)領域(例如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)頻信息系統是本(ben)版(ban)詞(ci)典的一大特點(dian)。其重要意義在于,它(ta)不僅顯(xian)(xian)示了(le)詞(ci)語(yu)(yu)的相對(dui)重要性,還顯(xian)(xian)示了(le)各義項以及每(mei)個(ge)短語(yu)(yu)的相對(dui)重要性。為(wei)了(le)開(kai)發這個(ge)系統,研究人員使用了(le)我們(men)語(yu)(yu)料庫中(zhong)的語(yu)(yu)料。他們(men)從中(zhong)選(xuan)出(chu)了(le)所(suo)有的高頻詞(ci)語(yu)(yu),然后對(dui)各詞(ci)語(yu)(yu)的例證進行(xing)編碼,從而(er)計(ji)算(suan)出(chu)不同義項的使用頻率。
The resulting system gives students a clear guide to the mostimportant words and meanings to learn最終生成的(de)詞(ci)頻系(xi)統(tong)清(qing)晰地告訴學生們學習哪些詞(ci)匯、哪些義項才是最重要的(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. 標有(you)E(Essential基礎詞(ci)匯)的(de)義項(xiang)是每個人為達到(dao)有(you)效交流(liu)的(de)目的(de)必(bi)須掌握的(de)詞(ci)語。它們要(yao)么極為常用(在語料庫中一般每千萬詞(ci)出現400次以(yi)上),要(yao)么表示核心概念(例如asleep)。這類義項(xiang)約(yue)有(you)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.標有(you)I(Improver中(zhong)級詞(ci)匯(hui)(hui))的義項在母語(yu)為英語(yu)的人群中(zhong)也很常用(在語(yu)料庫中(zhong)一(yi)般每千萬詞(ci)出現200~400次)。和基礎詞(ci)匯(hui)(hui)一(yi)樣,中(zhong)級詞(ci)匯(hui)(hui)包括(kuo)一(yi)些表示(shi)有(you)用概念的不太常用的詞(ci)匯(hui)(hui)。這類義項約有(you)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.本版詞典的(de)新穎(ying)之處(chu)還(huan)有(you):它(ta)為常用詞匯(hui)設置了400個(ge)簡明的(de)搭配信息(xi)框(kuang)。英語(yu)要達到流利程度(du),知(zhi)道如何將一個(ge)詞置于語(yu)境中至關(guan)重要。這些搭配信息(xi)框(kuang)就是對(dui)例句(ju)中以粗體字(zi)顯示的(de)25000個(ge)搭配的(de)有(you)益補充。
