区别就在于,一个是dictionary, 按照字母表顺序编排;另外一个是thesaurus, 按词义或概念编排(感觉相当于词汇汇编,通常不是不按字母表顺序),结果词表多、参见繁、索引长、部头大。
比较严谨的词典,对thesaurus的解释是a book of...; 不太严谨的词典的解释是a dictionary of...; OALD7干脆解释的更明显:a book that is like a dictionary...
Wikipedia也说明了两者的不同:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thesaurus
In general usage, a thesaurus is a reference work that lists words grouped together according to similarity of meaning (containing synonyms and sometimes antonyms), in contrast to a dictionary, which provides definitions for words, and generally lists them in alphabetical order.
所以,个人认为,thesaurus就是同义词(有时包含反义词等)汇编;如果原文用dictionary,中文用词典,其实和原来含义都有出入,只不过现在许多人都这么说,也就习惯了。
当然,楼主说的本来就是两本不同的书,词条不一样也就应该很自然了。 |
