總覺得此blog不夠人流, 所以就開了這個分類。每日一字幾好呀~唔錯呀!

個人來講了, 我認為應該用英文學英文。因為有時一d好相近嘅嘢嘅中文都很相近。例如 accurate 同 precise.(或者係我蠢)

根據 牛津高階英漢雙解詞典 的中文翻譯

accurate係解 : 正確無誤的;精確的;準確的...

precise係解 : 敘述清楚而準確的;精確的...

有咩分別???睇下英文版的翻譯:

accurate : free from error;careful and exact...

precise : stated clearly and accurately;exact...

死未~

講起字典, 我認為英中字典係必須嘅~但係英英字典就最好有一本旁下身~

我推薦Macmillan Dictionary~個人用緊, 幾好,唔錯。唔想buy的話, 可以用靈格斯 或者 上尼一個網址 http://www.macmillandictionary.com/。
