谁能帮我翻译这段英语啊!

“Lookitupinthedictionary”istheusualcommentwhenpeopleareindoubtaboutthemeaningorspelli...   “Look it up in the dictionary” is the usual comment when people are in
doubt about the meaning or spelling of a word. Dictionaries are considered the
final authority on these matters as well as on pronunciations and other facts
about a word.

  Until a few hundred years ago, however, people could not “look it up”
because there were no English dictionaries. The ancient Greeks and Romans and
the scholars of the Middle Ages had made lists of Latin and Greek words.
71 (因为上下句为过去时,所以此处必填过去时,在F和G选项中选择。下句中出现了年代,所以此处选择有年代的选项。G. But it was not
until 1604 that a book of uncommon English words appeared.) The first great
English dictionary listing both common and uncommon words was written by Samuel
Johnson in 1755.

  In America, the most famous name in dictionary writing is that of Noah
Webster. He stressed American rather than British ways of speaking. His great
dictionary, which first appeared in 1828, has been republished many times.
72 (A. Each time, it has been updated.) The latest edition is still
considered “the” dictionary. It defines over 450,000 words, including radar,
television and many others undreamed of by Webster.

  73 (根据下文综合字典的含义可以得知E项正确。E. Dictionaries that list all kinds of words are
known as general dictionaries.) The huge ones that rest on stands in libraries
are called unabridged, meaning “not shortened.” They tell not only a word’s
meaning and spelling but also its pronunciation, origin, history, part of
speech, grammatical forms, and ways of use. The smaller ones do not provide all
this information.

  74 (根据下文介绍多种字典,可知B项正确。B. General dictionaries are not the only kind) A
bilingual dictionary, such as a Spanish-English dictionary, translates words
from one language into another. A thesaurus lists other words that mean the same
as each listed word. A gazetteer lists place names, and a glossary is a small
dictionary in a book defining technical words in that book. There are also
dictionaries of scientific terms and ones on many other topics. There is even a
dictionary of slang. 75 (C. Thus there are many kinds of special
dictionaries) The dictionary is one of our most valuable language tools.

  A. Each time, it has been updated.

  B. General dictionaries are not the only kind.

  C. Thus there are many kinds of special dictionaries.

  D. In a general dictionary, each word may have multiple meanings.

  E. Dictionaries that list all kinds of words are known as general
dictionaries.

  F. Over the previous 150?years more than 20 dictionaries had been
published.

  G. But it was not until 1604 that a book of uncommon English words
appeared.

当人们对单词的拼写或意思产生疑问时,查词典,是常用作注释的方法。解决这些问题和发音及其他关于单词的问题时,词典被认作是最权威的
直到几百年前,因为没有任何字典,人们仍然不会查。古希腊和罗马人及中世纪的学者曾列过拉丁文和希腊文的单子,(中间是汉语,没搞明白),但是直到1604年一本不常用单词的英文单词书才出现,第一本由Samuel Johnson在1755年编写的英文词典,记述了常见和不常见的字。
在美国,Noah Webster是编写字典最著名的人,他强调了美语和英语在说话上的方式。他的词典,第一次出现在1828年,被出版了多次。72 (A。 每次。被上传)(抱歉,不懂什么意思><)最新编辑的仍然是被认作the的词典,它解释了大约450000个单词,包括雷达,电视和许多webster不能想象的单词
  (中文就不解释了)列出许多单词的词典被认为是一般的辞典,摆放在图书馆的大型词典被称作未删节的,意思是没有缩短,他们不仅解释了单词的意思和拼写,而且还有它的发音,原形,历史,词性,语法,和用法,小的辞典就没有提供这么多的信息
一般的辞典不是只有一种, 双语词典,比如说西英词典,把单词翻译成另一种语言,一本同义词典列出其他单词和列出的单词意思相同,一本地名词典列出许多地方的名字,词汇表是在书上解释学术性单词的一本小辞典,甚至还有俚语词典,所以有很多特别的词典,词典是我们最宝贵的语言工具之一
全部都是手打,给过吧

当人们对一个词的意思或拼写不确定时,通常说;look it up in the dictionary(在字典上查查),一个字的含义,拼写以及发音和字的其他含义来说,词典被认为是最终权威,
英语词典的历史仅仅几百年,在这之前,人们还不能;look it up(查英语词典),古希腊和古罗马人以及中世纪的学者他们自己列出了拉丁语和希腊文字的列表,但直到1604年,一本不常用的英语单词的书籍才出版,第一部英语大辞典是samuel johnson 于1755年编写的,把常用和不常用的英语单词列入其中,
