美国传统词典

Hacker News 上怎么说

  ……回答是：如果你还需要问为什么要掏钱买词典，那你压根就不是那种需要花钱买词典的人。长远的回答是，像《美国传统词典》（American Heritage Dictionary）、《牛津简明英语词典》以及《牛津英语词典》（OED）本身这种好词典，都是由学者和专家编纂、由学者和专家组成的编委会指导的，出版它们需要耗费极大的心血……

  …answer is that if you have to ask why you would want to pay for a dictionary, then you aren't the kind of person who needs to pay for a dictionary. The long answer is that good dictionaries, such as American Heritage Dictionary, the Shorter Oxford English Dictionary, and the OED itself, are produced by scholars and experts, guided by editorial panels comprised of scholars and experts, require a great deal of work to produce…

  Donella Meadows 的《Thinking in Systems》、Roger Fisher 和 William Ury 的《Getting to Yes》、《ARRL Handbook for Radio Communications》、《ARRL Antenna Book》、《American Heritage Dictionary 第 5 版》、圣经/经课书、每日祷告书和教理问答。如果算上虚构类，我 Kindle 里的《Flatland》和 Joseph Conrad 全集估计永远都不会删。

  Thinking in Systems by Donella Meadows Getting to Yes by Roger Fisher and William Ury ARRL Handbook for Radio Communications ARRL Antenna Book American Heritage Dictionary, 5th Ed. Bible/Lectionary, Breviary, and Catechism If fiction counts, I will probably never delete Flatland or the complete Joseph Conrad from my Kindle.

  我是个大学教授。我经常写东西，用 Bookshelf 1996 主要是为了里面收录的第三版《美国传统词典》，真是太棒了。它的界面比 iOS 应用的界面好用多了。你可以在 https://ahdictionary.com 上免费查阅第 4 版，也很不错。我只是思想比较守旧，不太喜欢……

  I'm a professor. I write a lot, and I use Bookshelf 1996 mainly for the third edition of the American Heritage Dictionary, which is great. The interface is better than the interface for the iOS app. You can get the 4th edition for free at https://ahdictionary.com, and it's good. I'm just old-fashioned enough to dislike…

  《美国传统词典》值得一提，不仅因为其阵容豪华的作家用法编委会，还因为它把最新释义放在最前面的做法，免得你看到令人头疼的“韦氏词典将 X 定义为……”后面跟着的是……

  The American Heritage dictionary deserves a mention, not only for its extensive usage panels of writers, but for its practice of putting the most current meanings first, so that the dread “Webster’s defines X as…” is not followed by…

  ……葡萄牙语用“próximo!”叫排在队伍最前面的人）。很遗憾其他读者不喜欢你的词源学小插曲；这让我想起刘易斯·托马斯在读到原始印欧语（PIE）参考资料（可能就是《美国传统词典》）之后的反应。也许大家只是觉得它关联度不够高？

  …Portuguese "próximo!" to summon the person at the front of a line). Sorry other readers didn't like your etymological excursion; it reminds me of Lewis Thomas after he got ahold of a PIE reference (maybe the American Heritage Dictionary). Maybe people didn't feel it was relevant enough?

  ……在链接的 PDF 中，你会看到这段话：Reciprocity（互惠）意味着恩惠或特权的相互或合作性交换。当某事由双方共同执行、体验或感受到时，它就是互惠的。（《美国传统英语词典》第 4 版）。GPL 许可证就是互惠的，因为它是双方“执行、体验或感受到”的——许可方和被许可方都使用 GPL。在非法律语境下……

  …the linked PDF, you'll find this: Reciprocity means a mutual or cooperative interchange of favors or privileges. Something is reciprocal when it is performed, experienced, or felt by both sides. (The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, 4th edition.) The GPL license is reciprocal, because it is “performed, experienced, or felt” by both sides—the licensor and the licensees both use the GPL. In non-legal…
