I usually look up the dictionary. I mainly use the shuimu community.
Provided online dictionary, which is not found here.
Google on the browser, using the define: Word method to query, if you do not understand, use dict.cn, also used online Kingsoft Powerword iciba.com
But the speed is far below that of dict.cn
The page is also complex. Generally, you can look up the meaning of an English word. It is rare to identify the subtle meaning of a word.
The general use of m-w.com, should not be here stronger place, Google define is generally enough.

The watertree dictionary is the first choice because it works in the terminal window, which is fast and easy to operate. It is available as long as there is a network (sometimes there are too many connections ). I want the dictionary to be as simple as this.

The previous paragraph reminds me of dict.org.
It not only has online dictionaries, but also
It is a dict protocol, which is divided into server and client. Dictionary data is placed in a file in a special format, and the server provides services, and the client sends the query to accept the results. It collects some items that can be free of charge
The free-to-use dictionary includes two English-Chinese dictionaries, xdict of Fu Jianjun and stardic of MA Suan. They were originally issued with GPL authorization, and xdict had 17
Ten thousand words. However, the original sources of these dictionaries are unclear, but there seems to be no objection. Shui Mu's dictionary is also very useful, but he does not know the copyright.

Installing dict In Debian is simple.
Dict-stardic. The last two files starting with dict are dictionary files, and a dictd service needs to be started to run on the local machine. After installation, you can run the following command on the terminal to check the words:
# Dict mail

The last dictionary is another dict-gcide, the GNU version of the Collaborative International
Dictionary
English, very powerful, including the Wei's dictionary in 1913, some WordNet words and many other sources of things, including interpretation of part of speech examples and so on. It is generally enough to have these three dictionaries.

In the Debian system, the dictd configuration file is under/etc/dictd, where dict. conf controls which servers are queried, and the first is localhost.
It is faster. In addition, dict.org only has a good network. dictd. conf controls which machines can use the local dict service and where to read Dictionary data. Description of this dictionary file
In/var/lib/dictd/DB. list, this file is operated by the dictdconfig program. There is also a dictd. Order file that controls the dictionary.
The sequence of use. Generally, the first two stardic/xdict are placed in Chinese. However, it seems that only dictd does not recognize this file. In this case, dictdconfig-
W to write the changed order to the DB. list file. Restart dictd.

There are also some graphical interfaces of the dictd front-end, such as kdict/gdict, gdict is not very useful, or terminal.
