Do you live in a rural area or in an urban area? What do the words rural and urban mean? The context (语境) in which these two words are used may give you something that helps you find their meanings. But if the context does not tell you enough, what can you do? If you decide to use a dictionary, you are halfway to finding the meaning of a word. The problem is completely over when you find rural and urban in the dictionary and the definition, or meaning, of each that fits the context in which the word is used.

Words－each one called an entry word－are easy to find in the dictionary. You need only to remember that they are listed in alphabetical order (字母表的顺序). Notice the guide words in the upper right-hand corner of the sample dictionary page. They are the first and last entry words on the page. Guide words help you find out whether the entry word you want is on that page.

Many words that have endings or suffixes are not listed as entry words. If you want to find the meaning of a word like anxiousness, you need to find the root word (词根) anxious. The root word is the one to look up for words having endings or suffixes added to them.

All that is written about an entry word is known as the entry for that word. An entry includes the pronunciation of the entry word, one of more definitions, and sometimes one or more illustrative (作例证的) sentences or phrases. Some entries also appear with a picture that shows one of the definitions.

Then one day two woodcutters came to this part of the forest. “Men!” shouted the Sal. “Why have they come here? They’ve never come here before.”

“If they’ve never come here before it was because they were afraid of the animals,” said the Peepul. “Now the leopard and the tiger’s being away has made them brave.”

The Sal began to worry with good reason. It was the first tree the woodcutters cut down.
