With over twenty percent more material, a must for any lover of distinctive words.
This entertaining and informative reference features sophisticated and surprising alternatives to common words together with no-fail guides to usage. Avoiding traditional thesauruses’ mundane synonym choices, Peter E. Meltzer puts each word―whether it’s protrepic, apostrophize, iracund, or emulous―in context by using examples from a broad range of contemporary books, periodicals, and newspapers. His new introduction makes the case for why we should widen our vocabulary and use the one right word. This groundbreaking thesaurus remains a unique venture, one that enriches your writing while helping you find the perfect word.amazon 地址
e.g. 词条：
abandonment (of one’s religion, principles, or causes) n.: apostasy. It was during the 1980s and 1990s that [Barry] Goldwater developed a reputation for apostasy. He defended legal abortion and homosexual rights and criticized the religious right, famously arguing that Jerry Falwell deserved “a swift kick in the ass.” Some conservatives felt betrayed, while liberals applauded. (Michael Gerson, “Mr. Right,” U.S. News & World Report, 6/8/1998.)
(2) abandonment (esp. regarding one’s belief, cause, or policy) n.: bouleversement [French]. See change of mind
(3) abandonment (of one’s belief, cause, or policy) n.: tergiversation (v.i.: tergiversate). See change of mind
Uniquenesses:
Subtitle 是sophisticated alternatives to common words 因此，
1.
Nearly all of the synonyms, while completely legitimate, are harder or more sophisticated words than one would find in a regular thesaurus.
2.
Because the synonyms are more interesting and generally more unusual than those found in conventional thesauruses, the entries have examples from current books or periodicals.
且1. The Use of a Clarifier to Provide More Exact Definitions or to Show Nuance，括号内即clarifier, 见上e.g. 词条。
2. When the Base Word and Synonym Are Different Word Forms，如 lions (of, relating to, or characteristic of) adj.: leonine.
主要适合exceedingly advanced learners (near-native level)的一本高级thesaurus.
