梁實秋在詞典編纂方面最為人熟知的，應該是主編了《遠東英漢大辭典》。這本詞典正確的出版年份是 1975 年 (民國 64 年)，許多學者都搞錯，照片為這本詞典最初的樣子。梁實秋自己都在序言裡委婉地承認，他只是個掛名的主編，出力最多的當是朱良箴、董昭輝、王進興，以及最後綜覽全稿的總校對傅一勤。 ​​​​

我手边这部大陆编《新英汉词典》，这部大陆版《辞源》，编得如此周全，印制如此精致，细小的铅字用放大镜看都划划清晰，而且从来没有看到一个 错字：我为他们的心血表现而发抖！我们可以把这两部辞书掷在以精致称着的日本人的辞书之侧，而开始不觉愧色——而我们台湾，40年来，哪部英汉辞典不是翻译剪贴自日作！惭愧哪，台湾经验！

这段时期的后一阶段, 即20世纪40年代, 我国编纂出版了两部词典: 一部是《英汉四用词典》 (它的全名是《英汉求解、作文、文法、辩义四用词典》, 1949年4月由上海世界书局出版, 1970年在香港出修订版; 另一部是梁实秋主编的《远东英汉大词典》, 1949年由台湾远东图书公司初版。初版时书名为《实用英汉词典》, 收词仅1万条, 1952年修订出版, 词条扩充到8万条, 1960年又重版, 收词实为11万多条。《英汉四用词典》和《远东英汉大词典》这两部词典均仍属中型综合性英汉双语词典。《四用》与《远东》都各有其特色。《四用》编者尝试使它有自己独特的体例, 服务对象明确, 读者查阅时可以/对号入座, 一目了然。这种四用的编排方法, 确有其方便的地方, 但却弊大于利。因为词的释义与例证分开, 反而给读者带来不便。后人再编纂的双语词典就少有效法这种体例, 而该词典本身的读者也越来越少, 现在处于基本上被淘汰的状态了。《远东》则不同。半个多世纪以来, 《远东》广泛地在台湾、港澳、中国大陆以及东南亚各国的华人中使用, 经久不衰, 甚至被联合国采用长达40年之久。它拥有众多读者, 具有颇强的生命力, 在全世界双语词典编纂界影响大而深远。究其原因, 它有四大特点: ( 1) 收词丰富、广泛、新颖, 并十分接近美国词典的传统, 注重百科性。( 2) 释义平易、准确、全面, 均用浅显的白话文, 并附有丰富的例证。( 3) 注意对英国英语与美国英语的不同解释的阐述、对语法修辞问题的阐述、对一般写作规则的阐述。( 4) 采用的注音是英美兼注的国际音标的双重注法。但《远东》也存在一些缺点, 如某些释义和汉译文不通顺; 旧词新义注释贫乏; 没有注词源等等(徐振忠, 192-199)。

Like the encyclopedia, it is designed to be user friendly to young people, yet comprehensive enough to be useful to adults. The definitions are designed with consideration for the age at which a person usually encounters the word. Quotations or sample sentences are offered with many words. Most proper names are excluded, leaving their treatment to the encyclopedia.

Description
The last thing a dictionary needs to be is intimidating. Yet many adult dictionaries are just that due to complicated structures and word meanings. This dictionary, from the editors of The World Book Encyclopedia, combines all the features of a traditional dictionary with the readability of World Book. The result is an ideal dictionary that can be used for a lifetime.


Words likely to be used by students are defined in a simple manner for better comprehension. The Dictionary also presents informative illustrative sentences that help clarify word meanings.


But this is by no means an abridged reference work. It features more than 225,000 entries, 3000 illustrations, notes on how to use prefixes, suffixes, capitalization and punctuation, pronunciation guides, and more. It's the final word in state-of-the-art dictionaries.



Product Reviews:

" This dictionary is highly recommended... It is especially helpful for high school and college students in theirs preparation for writing research papers and book reports. "

-- American Reference Books Annual 2011

“The number of entries (225,000) in this set puts it in the comprehensive section, but the price is closer to that of an unabridged dictionary. Because it is to be used in conjunction with The World Book Encyclopedia, biographical and geographical entries are not included. In addition, because it supposedly reflects the way people should speak, offensive language is not included. The definitions are clear and concise, with the most common meaning first. Sentences or quotations enhance the meanings, as do numerous line drawings.”
