《字典》的出版说明中说,它是“供中等文化程度的读者使用的”。不怕读者笑话,我的文化程度虽然不止中等,但有一些字,四声念不准,还有一些字干脆不会。有一些字,特别是日常用的字,会说,却不知道怎么写。我离不开《字典》,是它的积极读者,字义我倒从来不靠字典来解决。——于光远《谈谈〈新华字典〉(二则)》,《辞书研究》,1993年第6期 The Dictionary’s publication notes that it is “for a middle-class audience.” Not afraid of readers jokes, although my education is not only medium, but there are some words, four quasi-read, there are some words simply not. Some words, especially everyday words, will say, but do not know how to write. I can not live without the dictionary, is its active reader, the word I never rely on the dictionary to solve. - Yu Guangyuan “talk about (two)”, “dictionaries study”, 1993 sixth issue
