Compact English-Chinese Dictionary (Yale Romanization).

The 13,000 entries in this English-to-Chinese dictionary were chosen to represent "common words and expressions in art, education, science, sports, and music, as well as basic terminology in military and other fields." Each entry consists of an English word, an abbreviation for its part of speech, and one or more Chinese equivalents in Yale romanization. The entries are numbered to correspond to the Chinese character representation of the word which appears in a separate section of the dictionary. A conversation table is prefaced for comparison of different romanization systems. (JD)
