你想要一个更快的方式来看待常用词吗？希望你有即时访问百科全书？需要帮助与拼写或单词的用法？或者你想找到一种常用的单词的同义词，甚至学习如何发音？

到Mac OS X内置的是一个非常有能力和灵活的字典应用程序。您可以在您的应用程序文件夹。它比简单的“查找一个单词”式的字典，虽然有更多的功能... ...和您的Mac OS X操作系统中的许多领域也有类似的一些巧妙的方法进行词典搜索，甚至访问维基百科！

现在，我使用的短语“内置”上面，因为词典，在文本编辑，Safari浏览器，邮件，网页，等是等应用的高集成度，你猜对了！甚至没有推出字典应用程序可以使用的词典。在今天的小费，我要告诉你如何使大多数Mac OS X中的字典 - 我没有任何借口糟糕的拼写;-)

“让大多数”=

提示1 -超过一个定义

一旦你打开字典应用程序，你会发现下面的工具栏上的标签，让你可以切换搜索类型。您可以在维基百科的权利进行搜索，以及从词典使用它作为一个词库。

只需在搜索字段中键入一个词，要么选择从列表或按回车键开始搜索词...我用这个词“开始”这里非常松散。我觉得搜索瞬间，我几乎没有注意到之间的打字和阅读的结果的时间！

在标签上点击切换到其他的搜索类型。如果你喜欢这里的快捷方式：

• Command - 0 = View All search results
  
• Command - 1 = Look up in the Dictionary
  
• Command - 2 = Look up in the Thesaurus
  
• Command - 3 = View results from Apple
  
• Command - 4 = Look up using Wikipedia
  

秘诀2 -

通常，当寻找，您找到您想要找出更多信息的另一个字一个字。兔子洞下井本字典将涉及您选择，复制和粘贴在搜索字段中的单词和进行搜查，有权？不。将鼠标移到最字，你会发现这个词变成一个超链接。单点击这个词，你就会被它的定义。同样，你可以在任何阶段切换搜索类型。 “后退”按钮将带你回到以前的搜索。

Tip 3 -  Search with Spotlight

那么，让我们继续前进词典是如何整合到Mac OS X技术。首先是焦点。使用命令空格键，或点击在菜单栏的右上角的Spotlight图标，并开始键入一个字你想看看。在这种情况下，我决定到我的Mac（词典）搜索“活”字。

通常情况下，我会建议使用箭头键来浏览Spotlight的名单... ...但你可以看到在上面的图片，鼠标悬停在一个项目的第二个或两个，揭示了一个黄色的帮助框。在这种情况下，徘徊在我们的定义，将显示一个字的迷你定义。

如果您想了解更多信息，按“回车”，将推出字典应用程序，并在眨眼间进行搜索！

。

秘诀4 -语境中的！

在实际应用中使用的词典，如页，Safari浏览器，文字编辑等，你可以右键点击一个词来显示上下文菜单。大多数时候，我将使用这个当我的手指不能跟上我的大脑，我拼错一个字...查看和选择正确的拼写。然而，在寻找一个定义的情况下，只需右键点击一个词，从上下文菜单中选择在字典中查找。

再次，这将打开字典应用程序，并进行搜索。然而，你可能更愿意留在当前应用程序和应用程序之间切换，无需定义。要做到这一点，你可以改变从字典应用程序内的定义或搜索结果显示方式。

Choose Dictionary > Preferences
Select the contextual menu to Open Dictionary Panel.

在这里，您也可以参考源的顺序和默认的字体大小改变。

现在又回到你的Safari浏览器，文字编辑或网页窗口，右键点击就一个字，并选择在字典中查找。一个词典面板上出现，它显示了定义，使用字典或词库。如果你想查看本字典应用程序的全面爆发，只需按一下就比较...“按钮。

。

秘诀5 -

如果像我一样，你是一个键盘快捷键的吸盘，然后在这里是一个你可以用它来打动你的朋友;-)

Place the mouse cursor over a word (in an application that supports Dictionary)
Hold down Control-Command-D

词典面板出现的单词。您可以松开D键，并得到您的鼠标光标在字的即时定义与控制，并仍然按住 Command键！

释放D和指挥及控制键，使屏幕上的集中selcted字词典小组。现在您可以轻松滚动的定义和移动你的鼠标，而不会失去您的定义面板。

Mac OS X的词典功能非常强大，支持的OS X应用程序的集成提供了一个高水平。展望定义，同义词和使用维基从来没有这么方便和乐趣！

Hi, your article is very helpful, but I have a question. Is it possible to resize or make the pop-up dictionary window bigger?? It is ridiculously small to see.....

Hi Mike, Thanks. The Dictionary Panel (pop-up) cannot be resized... However, you could use the control+scroll wheel to zoom in if the text size is an issue. Not an ideal solution though. Would be nice if the panel window itself could be resized.

Hi,

I assume you were asking the question to me? ;-)

You can select Japanese-English in the built-in Dictionary in Mac OS X... but I haven't come across a Lithuanian add-on...

You could use Automator and/or Applescript to copy the selected text and have it open Google Translate where you can then find a definition of the word.

Alternatively, I found this page which might help:

Let me know how you get on.
