例证是词典编纂重要的组成部分,现代词典编纂越来越注重例证的功能,评价一部词典质量的优劣,很大程度上要看例证的编纂水平。我们从《外研社·柯林斯大词典》增补新词语例证得到一些启示,从例证的功能,例证的选择、例证的特点做了相关论述,以求对词典配例有更深的认识。 Illustration is an important part of dictionary compilation. Modern dictionary compilation focuses more and more on the function of illustration. Evaluating the quality of a dictionary depends to a large extent on the compilation level of the illustration. We get some enlightenment from the example of adding new words in “Dictionary of Foreign Languages ​​Collins Dictionary”, and make a related argument from the function of illustration, the choice of illustration and the characteristic of illustration in order to have a deeper understanding of dictionary matching.
