1961年出的W3现在肯定不是in Public Domain,主编1972年才仙逝。
版权这事儿说简单也简单,别人不告你就行。具体事务,还得询问专业人士啊。
王同亿老人家的词典,争议很大,我倒觉得其实很不错,业内人士围剿他,有当年他的词典卖得好这个原因在。要是卖不出去,才没人搭理他呢。
单说《英汉辞海》吧,把OED+W3弄成英汉版,那年头汉字激光照排技术还在娘胎里,估计都是铅字排版, 搞出四千多万字,这毅力、组织能力,啧啧
《英汉辞海》里的错误,也没到不堪入目的地步,那年头也没机器翻译啊,能用得上《英汉辞海》的人,英语、汉语语言水平差不多也能分辨个“是非”吧。
Since the 1961 publication of the Third, Merriam-Webster has reprinted the main text of the dictionary with only minor corrections. To add new words, they created an Addenda Section in 1966, included in the front matter, which was expanded in 1971, 1976, 1981, 1986, 1993, and 2002. However, the rate of additions has been much slower than it had been throughout the previous hundred years. |
