平时,我们有不认识的字,便会想到翻字典;有搞不懂的词,也会想到翻词典。你想想,汉字的数量有五万多个,而常用字却不到四千,谁有本事把五万多个字都背下来呢?而且,即使有那个本事,可有那个必要吗?清代的《康熙字典》, 收字近五万;新编的《汉语大字典》,收字五万四千多,这两种字典往桌上一摆, Usually, we have words that we do not recognize, and we think of turning over the dictionary; if we do not understand words, we will also think of dictionaries. You think about it, there are more than 50,000 Chinese characters, and less than 4,000 are commonly used characters. Who has the ability to put down more than 50,000 characters? And even if there is that ability, is that necessary? On behalf of the “Kangxi Dictionary”, the word received nearly 50,000; the new “Chinese Dictionary” received more than 54,000 words. These two kinds of dictionaries were placed on the table.
