In recent years, with the clearly accelerating spread of the Chinese language towards many countries, the “Chinese language craze” is heating up all over the world. In order to meet the increasing need of international learners to learn and use Chinese, the Multilanguage Base for International Promotion of the Chinese Language of Beijing Foreign Studies University has worked in cooperation with the Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press to plan and compile this multiple-language series of dictionaries for international learners of Chinese. These bilingual dictionaries cover more than 20 languages in wide use around the world and aim to help non-native learners learn and use Chinese effectively. They each comprise a Chinese-foreign language section and a foreign language-Chinese section, which can help learners better learn (input) and use (output) Chinese.
The series has been compiled to highlight learning features. Considering the real need of international learners, all headwords in the Chinese-foreign language section are laid out with the pinyin preceding the Chinese word, allowing users to start with pronunciation to look up the meaning. Meanwhile, all examples are accompanied by pinyin so that learners, especially beginners, can master their pronunciation, which can also help them better understand the meaning.
All definitions in this series feature literal translation, augmented by free translation. The examples in use are close to everyday life and give stress to spoken language, making it easier for beginners to understand, memorize and imitate.
Appendices include The Rules on Stroke Order for Chinese Characters, A Brief Chronology of Chinese History and A Brief Table of Administrative Divisions in China. Moreover, more than 100 illustrations provide an easy, direct and visual guide to meaning and usage.
To ensure high quality, Beijing Foreign Studies University and Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press have established an expert team of lexicographers and translators. The team consists mainly of Chinese and foreign professors of related languages and Chinese teachers for foreigners at Beijing Foreign Studies University, as well as professors and researchers from other universities and institutions. The research interests of these experts cover language teaching, bilingual translation, cultural communication, editing and publishing. Since the project was initiated, several years of teamwork, meticulous care and continual polishing have gone into the making of this normative, authoritative and practical two-way dictionary series.
The Concise Chinese Dictionary (English Edition), one of the series, is an elementary two-way dictionary designed for learners of Chinese who are native English speakers with elementary-level Chinese. The Chinese-English section consists of 4000-plus entries, including the high-frequency words in the HSK Chinese Proficiency Test Syllabus and the Lexicon of Common Words in Contemporary Chinese issued by the State Language Commission. The English-Chinese section contains over 4000 entries, all being core words, basic words and common words in English.
Dictionaries are important tools in learning a language. We believe that this dictionary will help facilitate users’ understanding and use of Chinese. Meanwhile, it is our sincere hope that users and experts will give us their valued opinions and suggestions for further revision and improvement.
