It is not difficult to find that the disadvantages of this kind of annotation are the same as those of Xia annotation discussed by Master Wen, and the interpretation of characters is simple. But also, the analysis of grammar and text content is flawed.

The word part is almost perfect after it is handed over to the Kindle "New Word Tips" ~ This is not about the quality of notes, but the quantity, and the difficulty level of annotated vocabulary can be adjusted manually. To pursue quality, you need to click on words and look them up in a dictionary. )

Similarly, near perfection means ... it has a fatal flaw, and there are too few books that can meet such strict requirements: 1, Kindle version 2, new word hint version 3, and annotation version 3. (I did a little search, about 35+)

However, wait until you really "read the book" before you spit it out ~

How to operate: add filter conditions: new word tips for Amazon Kindle books, and then search with keywords (comments, reviews, book department names, etc.). ).

* Word wisdom: Compared with the early full-text dictionaries, word wisdom is a comment between lines, and the problem of ambiguity is largely solved by crowdsourcing, with outstanding results.

By the way, introduce some early (similar) tools: full-text dictionary, Mungo English original reader.

Take the full-text dictionary as an example. This is a software that has not been maintained for a long time, even in official website. The author is Zou Jiefei (thanks in advance).

In this era, this software may not meet our increasingly lazy needs, but some functions are very beautiful.

For example, compared with the way of words, full-text dictionaries do not solve polysemy, but have the functions of phonetic notation, word frequency analysis and so on, and are more flexible in dictionary grading. It may still be useful in special applications.

"Mungo English Original Reader" is a product on iOS. The APP Store page is very detailed, so I won't go into details.
