Xinhua Dictionary is a must-have reference book for many people when they are young, and it accompanies everyone's growth. Recently, however, Xinhua Dictionary has been sued. The reason is that two netizens (some people say they are associate professors) found that there are many problems of improper interpretation in the new version of the dictionary, and formally filed a lawsuit through **.
In **, these two netizens explained in detail the inappropriate definitions in the new version of the Xinhua dictionary. The first is the word "play", and its definition is a description of sexualityThe second is the word "don't", which shows the scene of a pistol pinned to the waist in the sentence **;There is also the word "tired", one of the explanations is that the child has become a burden when he is young.
What's even more incredible is that there is only one simple explanation of the character "倭" – in ancient times it was called Japan, whereas previous dictionaries would explain each character with a common word. The most common collocation of the Japanese character is 倭寇, but the new edition of the dictionary ignores this character and seems to ignore the historical crimes committed by the Japanese invaders. In addition, there are many problems with pinyin errors.
After reading this paragraph, I quickly picked up a new version of Xinhua Dictionary and checked it, and found that what they said was true. In fact, this misinterpretation is not limited to the new edition of the dictionary, as is the case in the 11th edition. Many netizens have questioned a certain version of the Xinhua dictionary long ago, pointing out that there are multiple improper interpretations.
Xinhua dictionaries are mainly used by primary school students, and this inappropriate interpretation is undoubtedly a wrong value orientation. Many parents are surprised by this and worry that their children will ask how to explain it. Many people have doubts about whether it was deliberate or negligent. After seeing this paragraph, most netizens believe that the relevant departments must pay attention to this matter and give a reasonable explanation.
