This new fifth edition contains extensively updated and revised content. The English-Chinese dictionary has been edited by Oxford University Press and the Chinese-English by The Commercial Press, and every aspect of the dictionary - not only definitions, senses and examples, but also Pinyin romanization, grammar labels and design - has been improved so as to make the dictionary easier to refer to and read.
This is an extremely handy and popular pocket sized dictionary, with pinyin being used throughout. The dictionary contains a radical index, a consonants and vowels appendix, and key words for English phonetic symbols for those using the dictionary to learn English.
