只看该作者
我觉得要通读,就不要选有汉字的了,要读就读英英的,当然,遇到不理解的地方,求助双解是不错的选择。

另外少年,《新牛津英汉双解大词典》的蓝本(英文部分)就是 Oxford Dictionary of English (ODE), http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/ 在线版(UK & World English)主体部分就是 Oxford Dictionary of English ,然而你在这个帖子 [英-英] 【求解惑】OED这两个在线辞典有何关系? https://pdawiki.com/forum/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=16824,对 ODE 在线版英英释义评价不是正面的,但是这里你又觉得通读其双解版本是个不错的选择?

我觉得 ODE 英文释义相当有特色, 核心义项 + 次义项,这种做法是近百年来英语词典释义独一无二的创新,领先其他同级别词典一个时代,且在线版内容丰富、修订积极、与时俱进,同级别词典中,它称第一,没人敢称第二了吧。

至于从 www.oed.com 抓数据,这工作量是相当相当大的, OED3 仍在编纂中,保守估计 2037 年才能编完,在线版每三个月一次重大更新,很可能一遍数据还没抓完,人家又更新了无数内容。
不过我个人还是期待有神人能够抓取,无论哪个年度的版本。

ODE 侧重实用,OED 更像是人类在炫耀、在示威,为英语单词做编年史。假如有外星人来访,人类能拿得出手的体现人类文明语言成就、力量的作品,那肯定就是 OED 。

Unlike most English dictionaries, which only list present-day common meanings, the OED provides a detailed chronological history for every word and phrase, citing quotations from a wide range of sources, including classic literature and cookbooks. The OED is famous for its lengthy cross-references and etymologies. The verb “set” merits the OED’s longest entry, at approximately 60,000 words and detailing over 430 uses.No sooner was the OED finished than editors began updating it. A supplement, containing new entries and revisions, was published in 1933 and the original dictionary was reprinted in 12 volumes and officially renamed the Oxford English Dictionary.Between 1972 and 1986, an updated 4-volume supplement was published, with new terms from the continually evolving English language plus more words and phrases from North America, Australia, the Caribbean, New Zealand, South Africa and South Asia.In 1984, Oxford University Press embarked on a five-year, multi-million-dollar project to create an electronic version of the dictionary. The effort required 120 people just to type the pages from the print edition and 50 proofreaders to check their work. In 1992, a CD-ROM version of the dictionary was released, making it much easier to search and retrieve information.Today, the dictionary’s second edition is available online to subscribers and is updated quarterly with over 1,000 new entries and revisions. At a whopping 20 volumes weighing over 137 pounds, it would reportedly take one person 120 years to type all 59 million words in the OED.
