使用DictionarySearch理解单词

Personally, I used to look up words with fervor in the belief that it would make me seem incredibly clever in standard conversation. When I didn’t see an immediate payoff, the effort of physically opening up a dictionary and finding the word didn’t seem worth the trouble.

就我个人而言，我过去常常热衷于查找单词，因为这会使我在标准对话中显得异常聪明。 当我没有看到立竿见影的效果时，实际打开字典并查找单词的努力似乎并不值得。

Now, of course, most of us have the wonderful wide world of the web to eliminate the trouble of opening books. But manually opening a new tab, navigating to a dictionary, and then looking up the word is still way more than I want to have to do. Thank science, though, others saw my apparently common combination of desire to learn and laziness as a beacon, and decided to help.

当然，现在，我们大多数人都拥有丰富的网络世界，这消除了打开书本的麻烦。 但是手动打开一个新选项卡，导航到词典，然后查找单词仍然比我想做的更多。 不过，感谢科学，其他人将我的学习欲望和懒惰看似常见的结合作为信标，并决定提供帮助。

To some, this window may seem a little imposing, but it’s actually quite easy to customize. Say you’re a Dictionary.com snob. Change the text to something to your liking, but make sure you end it in a dollar sign in quotation marks, as this represents the user selected text (the bit you highlight).

对某些人来说，这个窗口可能看起来有些气势，但实际上很容易自定义。 假设您是Dictionary.com势利小人。 将文本更改为您喜欢的内容，但请确保将其以引号引起来，以美元结尾，因为这表示用户选择的文本(突出显示的位)。
