تفاوت دیکشنری های oxford -webster -longman در چی هست؟

1- در انتشاراتشون 2- در تعاریفی که برای کلمات ارائه دادن -

longman به نظر من تعاریف خیلی ساده و قابل فهمی رو ارائه داده و از همه کاملتر - در مرحله دوم هم من webster رو میپسندم

[A M ! N]

Longman یه سر و گردن از آکسفورد بالاتره به نظر من... در بین دیکشنری ها بیشترین جملات و مثالها رو داره.

سلام.من حدود15 صفحه متن انگلیسی دارم میخاستم بدونم توی تاپیک ترجمه بصورت اتچ بذارم کسی زحمت ترجمش را می کشه یا توقع زیادی است ؟

[match]

سلام
متن کاملتر را بگذارید عزیز! ولی در همین حد این معنی را میده: موجب امتنان، سبب ساز تعارف، برانگیزنده ادب و احترام

کلا همینه! یه سری پلان ساختمان هست که یه شرکت (Snohetta) اونارو طراحی کرده زیرشون اینو نوشته بعد اسم شرکتو نوشته
مثلا یه سایت پلان گذاشته زیرش نوشته:
Drawing Courtesy Snohetta

خوب، پس اینطوری میشه: ترسیم به لطف فلانی. یعنی فلانی زحمت طراحی یا ترسیم را کشیده.

خوب، پس اینطوری میشه: ترسیم به لطف فلانی. یعنی فلانی زحمت طراحی یا ترسیم را کشیده.

به معنی اهدایی از "فلان"...

[saeediranzad]

پرو-ترانس جان!
تو بیشتر کتابهای تخصصی همین طور مینویسند. اگر دسترسی دارید، یکیش را نگاه کنید.
مثلاً در رشته خودم، شما عکس میکربی را میبیند که زیرش نام تهیه کننده و موسسه ای که کار میکنه نوشته.
الآن کتابش را روی لپتاپ دارم. ولی در ویندوز ریدر ویندوز8 نمیتونم ازش عکس بگیرم.

[saeediranzad]

لینک نداره. کتاب دانلود شده است.
میرم تو ویندوز سون ازش عکس میگیرم میگذارم.

[A M ! N]

به هرحال منظورش اینه که توسط فعلانی یا فعلان جا طراحی شده ، کافیه این رو توی گوگل
بزنید:

"drawing courtesy of"

حالا یه سری جاها of رو گذاشتن ، یه سری جاها هم of رو نزاشتن.. جای بحث زیادی نداره.

از لحاظ گرامری هم بخوایم حساب کنیم ، این ترکیب Drawing Courtesy Snohetta شکل
درستی نیست و باید بعد از Courtesy حرف اضافه ی of دنبال بشه گرنه معنی خاصی نمیده

[saeediranzad]

خوب با نوشته جناب ناظر بحث تمومه. ولی چون قول داده بودم، عکس میگذارم.

البته بحث اصلاً برسر of نبود
