Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Thesaurus | |
Since 1937. Merriam-Webster is America's foremost publisher of language-related reference works. The company publishes a diverse array of print and electronic products, including Merriam-Webster's Collegiate? Dictionary, Eleventh Edition – America's best-selling desk dictionary – and Webster's Third New International Dictionary, Unabridged. Merriam-Webster can be considered the direct lexicographical heir of Noah Webster. In 1843, the company bought the rights to the 1841 edition of Webster's magnum opus, An American Dictionary of the English Language, Corrected and Enlarged. At the same time, they secured the rights to create revised editions of the work. Since that time, Merriam-Webster editors have carried forward Noah Webster's work, creating some of the most widely used and respected dictionaries and reference books in the world.
网友对Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Thesaurus的评论
这是一本目标读者为英语母语人士的词群词典。
和外语学习者不同，母语人士脑海中往往已经储存了一定数量的同义词，而同义词词典的作用便是，快速指引读者找到符合语境的词，而不考虑其是否了解一词多义的现象。于是，这本词典中abandon的词群是这样的：
abandon
Function: verb
1
Synonyms: chuck, desert, forsake, quit, renounce, throw over
Related Words: cast (off), discard, disuse, drop, junk, scrap; reject, repudiate
Idioms: have done with, leave flat, quit cold, run out on, turn one's back on (or upon), walk out on
Contrasted Words: hold, keep, possess, retain; redeem, rescue, save; acquire, gain, get, procure, win; cherish, foster
Antonyms: reclaim
2
Syno"rest":"nyms: RELINQUISH, cede, give up, hand over, leave, resign, surrender, ||turn up, waive, yield<br />Antonyms: retain<br /><br />完全没有对词的多重意思给出解释，而是希求读者以自己的词汇经验来判断。这对外语读者来说是不利的，甚至是误导的。<br /><br />而牛津同义词词典（New Oxford Thesaurus），在这方面做得更完美。如下：<br />abandon<br />verb<br />1 the party has abandoned policies which made it unelectable<br />RENOUNCE , relinquish, dispense with, forgo, desist from, forswear, disclaim, disown, disavow, discard, wash one's hands of; give up, withdraw, drop, do away with, jettison; betray, renege on, recant; informal ditch, scrap, scrub, axe, junk.<br />-opposite(s): KEEP, RETAIN.<br /><br />2 by that stage, she had abandoned painting<br />GIVE UP , stop, cease, drop, forgo, desist from, dispense with, have done with, abjure, abstain from, discontinue, halt, terminate, break off, refrain from, set/lay aside, quit, cancel; informal cut out, kick, jack in, pack in, leave it at that.<br />-opposite(s): CONTINUE ; TAKE UP.<br /><br />3 he abandoned his wife and children<br />DESERT , leave, depart from, leave behind, leave high and dry, turn one's back on, cast aside, give up, break (up) with; jilt, strand, leave stranded, leave in the lurch, throw over, betray; informal run/walk out on, rat on, drop, dump, ditch; archaic forsake.<br /><br />4 the skipper had to give the order to abandon ship<br />VACATE , leave, depart from, go away from, withdraw from, quit, evacuate.<br /><br />5 it was an attempt to persuade businesses not to abandon the area to inner-city deprivation<br />RELINQUISH , surrender, give up, cede, yield, abdicate, deliver up, sign away, resign, leave, disgorge.<br />-opposite(s): KEEP, CLAIM.<br /><br />6 she abandoned herself to the sensuousness of the music<br />INDULGE IN , give way to, give oneself up to, yield to, lose oneself to/in.<br />-opposite(s): CONTROL ONESELF.<br />多重意义在语境中体现了。<br /><br />著名的Roget词群词典做得也很棒：<br />abandon<br />VERB<br />1. To cease trying to accomplish or continue: break off, desist, discontinue, give up, leave off, quit, relinquish, remit, stop. Informal : swear off. Slang : lay off. Idioms: call it a day, call it quits, hang up one's fiddle, have done with, throw in the towel. See CONTINUE.<br />2. To give up or leave without intending to return or claim again: desert3, forsake, leave1, quit, throw over. Idioms: run out on, walk out on. See KEEP.<br />3. To give up a possession, claim, or right: abdicate, cede, demit, forswear, hand over, quitclaim, relinquish, render, renounce, resign, surrender, waive, yield. See KEEP.<br />4. To yield (oneself) unrestrainedly, as to a particular impulse: give over, give up, surrender. See RESIST.<br />5. To let (something) go: cede, forgo, lay down, relinquish, surrender, yield. See KEEP.<br /><br />如果是经验丰富的外语学习者，Webster也许是个不错的选择——它可以帮助你梳理词之间的逻辑关系，加深印象。"
首先是外表：是硬皮的，拇指缺口，有防虫蛀药水，黄色的封面很鲜艳，纸质很好。然后是内容：收录比较广，同义反义都有，唯一不足的是只解释了原词条，没有解释由它延伸出来的同义反义等词。不过总体上很好！
给外甥女买的，她很喜欢。
上一个哥们儿写评论是一年多以前了。我买完就缺货了。在蓝泉有卖，但到货较慢，不过版本很新。我喜欢读词典，这是之一，很喜欢。
