non-ESL 收录短语的多寡
moment 一词为例
ODE 收短语最多
CED => 少
RHU => 少
WNWCD => 少
AHD => 能给 The American Heritage Idioms Dictionary 的都给了,给到没了
MWCD => 基本就没收几个,不如 MWALED 多
释义模式
roughly 一词为例
LDOCE 1 @ 2
not exactly [= about, approximately]
CALD 1 @ 3
(NOT EXACTLY)
approximately
OALD 1 @ 3
approximately but not exactly
MWALED 1 @ [2 | 4]
not exactly but close in number, quality, meaning, etc.
MED 1 @ 3
used for showing that an amount, number, time etc is not exact
ODE 3 @ 3
Approximately
MWCD 2 @ [2 | 4]
without completeness or exactness
CED 1 @ 3
without being exact or fully authenticated; approximately
RHUD 20 @ 37
made or done without any attempt at exactness, completeness, or thoroughness; approximate or tentative
AHD none {只作为衍生词条,词义须从 adj. 自行判断}
WNWCD none {只作为衍生词条,词义须从 adj. 自行判断}

同义词:
ODE
反向解释:
MWCD,MED
正向解释 + 反向解释:
MWALED
反向解释+同义词:
CED,RHUD,OALD,LDOCE,CALD
没人使用反向解释+正向解释+同义词,因为太啰嗦。完全使用同义词,对NNS来说,会造成多次交叉查找。
理想的形式可能是:详细解释+同义词。
monotonous 一词为例
CALD
not ​changing and ​therefore ​boring
LDOCE
boring because of always being the same
OALD
never changing and therefore boring synonym dull, repetitious
MEALED
— used to describe something that is boring because it is always the same
MED
a monotonous sound or voice is boring and unpleasant because it does not change in loudness or become higher or lower
CCALD
Something that is monotonous is very boring because it has a regular, repeated pattern which never changes.
从这个词的解释看,OALD 无疑是最好的,既有详细解释,又附带同义词。
最啰嗦的就要算 MED 与 CCALD 了。
CALD 和 OALD 神似。
MWALED 与 LDOCE 神似但略显啰嗦。
释义方面,这几个学习型词典,有时在某个义项上来个点睛之笔,给个同义词,有时又不给,没啥规律可循。
再加上释义方面一个团队做出来的所有义项不太可能都保证天下第一。
还有查阅者自身的词汇及头脑中相关概念块的积累情况都不一样。
所以有时候会出现,OALD 略胜,或 LDOCE 略胜,或 CALD 略胜等等情况。
但是在收录短语方面,不惜笔墨,确实比那些 non-ESL 丰富,这点没啥争议的。
以上内容没啥意思,胡乱写写,切末当真,无需挂怀。
