一本有趣的词典。 它打破了传统词典按字母排列词目的旧有形式，而把意义相关的词语分类编排，每一个词目都列出释义和例句，让读者清楚了解同类词语之间的异同。 分为“生命与生物“，“房屋与家庭“，“时间与空间“等等14大类。每个大类再细分。比如“生命与生物“下面有关于人的一个子目，有个集合是“kinds of noses“.介绍了各种各样鼻子的说法：Roman nose,retrousse nose,snub nose,button nose,aquiline nose,Grecian nose...并配了有趣的插图。 很方便用于写作，或者是扩大词汇量。

《牛津词汇辨析》内容简介：词汇是人们借以表达思想、情感和反应的工具。有时您会发现，即使在母语中都难以找到最恰当的词语来传递准确的信息。英语的使用者同样面临着相同的困境：英语单词的拼写与发音关联甚微；俚语和习语夹杂在标准用法之中；多数词语有着多重含义。英语语言中充满陷阱，一不小心就会陷入其中。正如比尔?布赖森所言：“如果在一门语言中……像fIy这样一个不起眼的词既是一种讨厌的昆虫，又是一种交通方式，还可以是男士服装上的一个关键部分，那么这门语言一定是令人困惑不已的。”（Mother Tongue，PenguinBooks，1990） 《牛津词汇辨析》旨在引领您躲避英语中隐藏的众多陷阱。《牛津词汇辨析》收集了大约3000个最为常见的问题词汇。使用《牛津词汇辨析》可以帮助英语学习者和使用者增强自信，提高英语书面和口语应用的技巧。与词典不同的是，《牛津词汇辨析》将易混淆的词汇分组呈现：job与position、SitlJatioll及post同组，而serlsible则与sens—itive、insensible及irDsensitive同组。每个词条的解释简明易懂，并配有例句。以insensible为例，在其释义中指出：虽然含有前缀in一，但它并不是sensible的反义词，例如“The boxer was kflocked inselsible”。 有些词因为发音相近而易于混淆。例如reigns和reins，这两个词意思完全不同，却都读成rains，因此即使是以英语为母语的人也可能把它们搞错。另外一些易混词属于形似词，如Suit与suit，recover。与re-cover。《牛津词汇辨析》在辨析词语时还充分考虑了文化敏感性，因此Asian和Asiatic被归入一组，其释义指出：Asian用于指人，Asiatic用于指地理范畴，如果用Asiatic来谈论“亚洲人”则含有歧视的意味，因此必须区分这两个词语的用法。 《牛津词汇辨析》中还包含大约100个红色标记的语言框，对于如何用英式英语及美式英语撰写书信和电子邮件、如何使用“s”所有格等语法和语用问题提供了建议。《牛津词汇辨析》不仅阐释词汇之间的区别，还是一本词汇发音、拼写和用法的指南。《牛津词汇辨析》依据现代英式英语的风格和用法编写，是一本读者可以信赖的词汇工具书。 没有人希望自己的英语笑料百出，可是每天都有很多人在不知不觉中犯着滑稽可笑的错误。《牛津词汇辨析》收录了一些有趣的例子，用来提醒您躲避类似的陷阱，同时为您学习和使用英语增添乐趣。
