However, the topic is worth-while because such dictionaries are valuable, I am a translator myself and can appreciate their worth. So here are some more:

个人感觉必应词典优势在于,借助引擎优势收录了很多小众习惯译名,我查国外历史时,经常用来搜译名,不过也并不是总能搜到

有人抓过。是想重抓?

小鸡词典

不如在线查,urban内容太多,跟Wikipedia一个性质

这个概念等于做一个《城市俚语俗语词典》,不错的概念。

Urban的定义多数是一些青少年搞笑的定义,无用的废话,他们以看这种废话为乐。

Urban的精华是热衷研究俚语、俗语的研究者做的词条。假如有办法筛选出这一部分精华,词典就会精简而实用。

我之前借用必应,查询过以combining form micro-构成的所有单词,其中汉译还是有不少翻译不准的问题。
