漢英字典 Han Ying zi dian [English-Chinese dictionary]
- Scope & Content:
-
This unfinished dictionary (only from A to D) was probably a notebook belonging to a Chinese language learner since it includes random words which are not always exactly accurate.
The layout of the content starts from an English keyword on the top and follows with a horizontal column of Chinese translation. Besides the Traditional Chinese characters, there are two columns with two different alphabetic transliterations (probably from Mandarin and Cantonese pronounciations).
Some English keywords also come with examples of how to use the word or phrase in the Chinese sentence.
