Online youdao dictionary adds new features!

 

You have been using the youdao dictionary online for nearly half a year. I remember the first time I used the youdao Dictionary (online version, which is usually referred to below) or because a classmate typed "dict.youdao.com" in the address bar of my PC browser ", at that time, I thought this domain name was very memorable, so I hit it when I encountered a new word in English in the days that followed until now. In my previous use, I simply used it to search for new words and did not pay attention to its functions until yesterday.

 

Yesterday morning, when I was searching for the phrase "lay down", the mouse pointer slipped to the [Example sentence] Bar (see the red box ), suddenly, when I move the mouse to a word or phrase in the example sentence, the meaning of the word or phrase will be displayed in a thick color in the corresponding sentence. On the contrary, when you point the mouse to a Chinese character or word in the sentence, the English translation is displayed in a thick color (Feature 1). This surprised me at the time! Because I have never noticed (Mars ******) before, but to be honest, this feature seems to have just been launched soon. There is another reason to be so surprised. Because I was still collecting materials for tomorrow's oral trial, I needed to go to a long article in English to extract some ideas I needed, so I came up with an idea, its implementation requires adding additional functions for the browser in the form of plug-ins. I did not expect that in the twinkling of an eye, I found that a similar application already exists in the youdao dictionary!

 

What we get familiar with is often the easiest thing to ignore. In most cases, we just feel good about ourselves. I have long discovered that I am not an exception, but I often ignore many "beautiful" things. Again, I carefully observed the youdao Dictionary (such as a piece of Reference). In addition to the basic definition reference, there are still many other functions available for learning and use.

• [Pronunciation], this is actually a comparison, because the general dictionary has;
• [Synonym], this function is easy to ignore, because usually only pay attention to the "tab switch" function in the browser, which is rarely seen elsewhere. However, in the used systems, I think the Ubuntu system is much better than windows in this regard. Because file manager in Ubuntu (like my computer in Windows) and file editor (Vim) can open multiple labels in the same window. Far away ~ If you don't see it, you can just double-click it and switch it. Compared with memory, it can improve the efficiency of English learning.
• [Network definition], this column also includes [21st century English-Chinese dictionary] and [English-English definition], which can provide more references for readers. Especially for those who prefer English and English interpretations!
• [Original sound example] and [authoritative example ](Feature 2). Haha, I bet that the "feature 1" above is newly added. I just remembered that I didn't find it before. This "feature 2" is my focus, so we will start a new section below.

[Authoritative example] sentences are usually extracted from some publications. Therefore, sentences are generally more formal and authoritative, this will boost the improvement of English. The sentences in [original sound example] are captured from some multimedia, including audio or video. Netease compares these videos withVideo Open Course Project for prestigious schools around the worldIt's a good combination! This aspect can play a role in promotion, and it is good for youdao itself. On the other hand, users can also find many useful resources, such as the sources where users can watch their videos or videos, and then track some learning resources (lectures and courses ), or entertainment resources (movies and TV series ). Well, I really like it!
