I recommend to you two superb and authoritative English dictionaries

Friends, I've got two reputable and fantastic English-English dictionaries to share with you:

Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary
(This one is one of the best English dictionary series in Britain. I bought two around 3 years ago at about $50 each. I think they've started to offer it for free online recently.)

Merriam-Webster Dictionary
(This one is the best dictionary in the USA. I bought one at around $45 roughly 3 years ago. It's free on the internet.)

My impression tells that another well-known dictionary, Longman, is less popular in the USA and Britain.

The Webster one is just a complement to the Oxford one for me. Mostly I use the Oxford.

Don't forget, if you're still making use of some English-Chinese dictionaries to some extent, throw them away and bring in the English-English ones.
