The Oxford 3000?
The keywords of the Oxford 3000have
been carefully selected by a group of language experts and experienced teachers as the words which should receive priority in vocabulary study because of their importance and usefulness. The selection is based on three criteria.
The words which occur most frequently in English are included, based on the information in the British National Corpus and the Oxford Corpus Collection. (A corpus is an electronically held collection of written or spoken texts, often consisting of hundreds of millions of words.)However, being frequent in the corpus alone is not enough for a word to qualify as a keyword:it may be that the word is used very frequently,but only in a narrowly defined area, such as newspapers or scientific articles. In order to avoid including these restricted words, we
include as keywords only those words which are frequent across a range of different types of text.In other words, keywords are both frequent and used in a variety of contexts. In addition, the list includes some very important words which happen not to be used frequently, even though they are very familiar to most users of English.These include, for example, words for parts of the body, words used in travel, and words which are useful for explaining what you mean when you do not know the exact word for something.These words were identified by consulting a panel of over seventy experts in the fields of teaching and language study.
The words of the Oxford 3000are shown in the main section of the dictionary in larger print,
and with a key symbol
immediately following. On the CD-ROM the keywords are shown in red. The most useful parts of the entries (particular parts of speech, meanings,phrasal verbs and idioms) are marked with a small key symbol. The entries for keywords often have extra information in the form of more examples of use, special notes explaining synonyms or related words, or helpful
illustrations. This means that the keywords make an excellent starting point for expanding your vocabulary. With most keywords, there is far more to learn about them than the first meaning in the entry: often these words have many meanings, have a large family of words
d
derived from them, or are used in a variety of patterns. All of this means that each one of the keywords repays close study.
The list covers British and American English. It is arranged to emphasize the connections between words, so that words which are very closely related (including adverbs ending in -ly and opposites starting with un-)are grouped together. Some basic phrases are also included.Proper names (names of people, places, etc.beginning with a capital letter )and numbers are not included in the main list.
A separate list of words which are important for language study, but less important in everyday life, follows the main list. Knowing these words will help you to understand more of the informa-tion given in the entries, especially regarding the word’s grammar and register (whether it is for-mal, informal, etc.).
In order to make the definitions in this
dictionary easy to understand, we have written them using the keywords of the Oxford 3000.All words used in normal definition text are keywords, or are on the list of language study terms. Numbers and proper names are also used in definitions. When it has been necessary to use a specialist term which is not in the Oxford 3000,the word is shown in small capitals ,and in blue on the CD-ROM. If you do not know the meaning of this word, look it up in the dictionary: it will help you to understand the definition that you are interested in, and will probably be a useful word to learn
because it will be related to the original word you looked up.

从《牛津高阶英汉双解词典》第四版与第六版释义与注释的比较看词典发展的变迁 崔彬彬 《牛津高阶词典》Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary of Current English (以下称OALD)最早是由已故AS霍恩比先生编纂的Advanced Learner’s Dictionary of Current English，由牛津大学出版社在1948年出版。此后，凭借其精湛的编纂技术，高度的敬业精神等因素，牛津辞典很快成为词典界的权威及英语学习者心目中的首选，因此在全世界范围内得以一版再版,并被陆续翻译成各种语言。为了紧随时代的步伐，满足我国英语学习者的迫切需要，我国引进了《牛津高阶词典》并对其进行翻译使之成为适合于中国读者使用的英汉双解词典。第一部《牛津高阶英汉双解词典》以OALD 第二版为底本编译，于1970年出版，之后二版三版……一发不可收。至今在中国已有六版《牛津高阶英汉双解词典》。每一版都见证着中外词典编纂人世世代代不懈的追求与辛勤的耕作，才使得词典发展到了今天的成熟与多姿。这些版本之间到底有什么不同？仅仅是时间上的差异，单词量的差异还是产生了其它微妙的变化？本文拟从《牛津高阶英汉双解词典》第四版与第六版释义与注释的比较来看不同版本词典的发展与变迁。《牛津高阶英汉双解词典》（以下简称牛津）第四版出版于1997年9月，共1910页。第六版出版于2004年6月，共2166页，与第四版出版的时间相隔不到七年。下面将就释义与注释为例阐述两版之间的差异。 一、释义的变化 释义的变化首先体现在前言中。在牛津第四版的前言中，没有对释义进行单独介绍。但在第六版中不仅包含此项内容，并有“释义说明”一项，占据两页的篇幅。可见第六版的编纂者已经赋予释义新的内涵及重要性并对此加强了阐释力度。编者在序言中指出“所有释义均用不超过3000的词汇解释。释义中所用词汇在附录8中给与列出。”（见牛津第六版序言）3000的词汇量已控制的非常小，接近高中生的词汇水平，也就是说连中学生都可以看得懂，可见编纂者在释义上所下的功夫与其独具匠心。下面主要以forgive及frenetic为例，具体看一下与第四版相比，第六版在释义方面有哪些改进。为清楚起见，释义将逐条列出。 forgive: 1. [Tn, Tn·pr, Dn·n]~ sth, ~ sb (for sth/doing sth) stop being angry or bitter towards sb or about sth; stop blaming or wanting to punish sb原谅；宽恕；饶恕（4版） 1. ~ sb/yourself (for sth/for doing sth)to stop feeling angry with sb who has done sth to harm, annoy or upset you; to stop feeling angry with yourself原谅；宽恕（6版） 从这一释义对比中，可以看出第六版有很大改进：如在释义之首用介词to开始，使表述更加严谨；在释义的措辞上也更注重科学性，更加易懂，如改being angry 为feeling angry；删除了词义中所没有的义项，如stop blaming or wanting to punish sb，取而代之的是stop feeling angry with sb who has done sth to harm, annoy or upset you。尽管只是一个简单的改变，却使得词典使用者更加清晰明了forgive所能应用的情景。原谅只是说明一个人已不再对别人或自己生气，而并不能表明此人还有要责备或惩罚别人的意思；另外，可以很明显的看到，在第四版具体释义前面出现的[Tn, Tn·pr, Dn·n]在第六版中已消失不见，这更利于英语学习者的使用。另外，在第六版中增加了to stop feeling angry with yourself，使得语言学习者

T h e O x f o r d 3000 d The Oxford 3000? The keywords of the Oxford 3000have been carefully selected by a group of language experts and experienced teachers as the words which should receive priority in vocabulary study because of their importance and usefulness. The selection is based on three criteria. The words which occur most frequently in English are included, based on the information in the British National Corpus and the Oxford Corpus Collection. (A corpus is an electronically held collection of written or spoken texts, often consisting of hundreds of millions of words.)However, being frequent in the corpus alone is not enough for a word to qualify as a keyword:it may be that the word is used very frequently,but only in a narrowly defined area, such as newspapers or scientific articles. In order to avoid including these restricted words, we include as keywords only those words which are frequent across a range of different types of text.In other words, keywords are both frequent and used in a variety of contexts. In addition, the list includes some very important words which happen not to be used frequently, even though they are very familiar to most users of English.These include, for example, words for parts of the body, words used in travel, and words which are useful for explaining what you mean when you do not know the exact word for something.These words were identified by consulting a panel of over seventy experts in the fields of teaching and language study. The words of the Oxford 3000are shown in the main section of the dictionary in larger print, and with a key symbol immediately following. On the CD-ROM the keywords are shown in red. The most useful parts of the entries (particular parts of speech, meanings,phrasal verbs and idioms) are marked with a small key symbol. The entries for keywords often have extra information in the form of more examples of use, special notes explaining synonyms or related words, or helpful illustrations. This means that the keywords make an excellent starting point for expanding your vocabulary. With most keywords, there is far more to learn about them than the first meaning in the entry: often these words have many meanings, have a large family of words d derived from them, or are used in a variety of patterns. All of this means that each one of the keywords repays close study. The list covers British and American English. It is arranged to emphasize the connections between words, so that words which are very closely related (including adverbs ending in -ly and opposites starting with un-)are grouped together. Some basic phrases are also included.Proper names (names of people, places, etc.beginning with a capital letter )and numbers are not included in the main list. A separate list of words which are important for language study, but less important in everyday life, follows the main list. Knowing these words will help you to understand more of the informa-tion given in the entries, especially regarding the word’s grammar and register (whether it is for-mal, informal, etc.). In order to make the definitions in this dictionary easy to understand, we have written them using the keywords of the Oxford 3000.All words used in normal definition text are keywords, or are on the list of language study terms. Numbers and proper names are also used in definitions. When it has been necessary to use a specialist term which is not in the Oxford 3000,the word is shown in small capitals ,and in blue on the CD-ROM. If you do not know the meaning of this word, look it up in the dictionary: it will help you to understand the definition that you are interested in, and will probably be a useful word to learn because it will be related to the original word you looked up.
