网友对Little Oxford English Dictionary的评论
这本小词典被称作英国的新华字典，从选词到释义都是很权威的，其实已有英汉双解版，这次看到Z实惠很便宜就买了一本，其实只是外面的纸质封套破了，里边有硬质书壳，所以并不影响，书其实是全新的，英国印刷，只是装订不牢靠，都不敢使劲翻。
大小方便携带，内容全，单词介绍比较精简，实用性挺高
It is since the revised seventh edition that I've been using this dictionary. I replaced my old Harrap's Pocket Dictionary that I had been using until its demise. As a learner of English I always need a dictionary in my bag while I'm travelling and reading magazines, both of which I do daily. I've found the seventh and eighth editions pretty good, so I have ordered the ninth one too and am waiting for its arrival which is due in the early days of August. As I see it, the new edition is a couple of pages longer than the previous edition. These books don't have long lifetimes with me. They last for 2 to 4 years. They literally fall apart after that time. It starts with the spine, then goes on to the cover pages (these things you can mend with duct tape) and at last the contagion spreads to the "a" section of the dictionary (unfortunately, in spite of being a hardcover book, its pages are only glued together and not bound with thread).
Something more about the contents: The seventh edition still had the pronunciation guide with every single word using the International Phonetic Alphabet. Since the eighth edition this feature disappeared and was replaced by the almost random but very rare pronunciation guides (using the dictionary's own phonetic system) where the authors think that they are needed, however, quite often they are not available for words I would need them with and available with ones I don't know why they bothered with. On the other hand, the selection of words in the dictionary is excellent, I have to use the WAP dictionaries quite rarely to check words not in the dictionary. Still, at home I never use this dictionary. In the first round I use some advanced learner's dictionary (Oxford, Macmillan, Longman, Cambridge) or with rare words the Chambers Dictionary or the American Heritage Dictionary. I prefer advanced learner's dictionaries for all the extra information they give about the usage of words.
On the last pages of the eighth edition there is a Supplement with such useful sections such as Commonly Misspelled Words (or confused word-pairs), Countries (with adjectival forms and currency names), Weights and Measures, Symbols, etc. You rarely use these pages, but they come handy occasionally.
All in all, in my opinion this dictionary can be recommended to those on the move. It is worth the price and doesn't take up too much space even in a (sizeable) hand bag.
This compact little dictionary has found a place on my busy desk and is a great help in finding words and spelling. My age is causing memory lapses and is such a handy assistance in solving these problems!
A must have for any serious college student who needs a good dictionary or is thinking of becoming a english major. It is also the right size to carry with you in your backpack for quick reference.
works fine
This dictionary is really good for it's size. I was shocked that it had most of the words that I needed to look up in there. I keep it in the car to look words up while listening to books on tape lectures and it's really fabulous. It's got the hard cover so you don't demolish it, and it's small enough so it won't clutter. The binding is well made and can sustain a beating too. I got it on sale, but it's worth the asking price.
