谢谢江西美女跟帖!
新版COED的词义排布方式非常符合我的思维习惯,所以一直是我英文写作的第一参考词典。在对词义依稀有印象但又不特别确定时,都是先查阅COED。若要进一步了解微妙意思差别时,才查阅更详尽的词典。
COED的另一个重大价值,是它的拼写方式被众多权威机构奉为英文规范。
Oxford spelling (especially the first form listed in the Concise Oxford English Dictionary, Twelfth Edition) is the official or de facto spelling standard used in style guides of the international organizations that belong to the United Nations System. This includes the World Health Organization, the International Telecommunication Union, the International Labour Organization, the World Food Programme, the International Court of Justice, and UNESCO, and all UN treaties and declarations, such as the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
Other international organizations that adhere to this standard include the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), the World Trade Organization (WTO), the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Interpol, the International Committee of the Red Cross, the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), Amnesty International, the World Economic Forum and the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF).
Oxford spelling is used in a number of academic publications, including the London-based scientific journal Nature and all other UK-based "Nature"-branded journals, the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society, and the Journal of Physiology. It is used by The Times Literary Supplement, Encyclopædia Britannica and Cambridge University Press.
