◆diary n.
表示“寫(xiě)日記”，英語(yǔ)通常用動(dòng)詞 keep, 但有時(shí)也用 write。用不同動(dòng)詞含義稍有差別：keep a diary 側(cè)重指記日記的習(xí)慣(write things in a diary regularly)，而 write a diary則側(cè)重指“寫(xiě)”這一動(dòng)作，因此要表示往日記里寫(xiě)什么東西時(shí)，要用 write。如：
Did you keep a diary while you were traveling in
He took out his diary and began to write. 他拿出日記本就寫(xiě)了起來(lái)。
He wrote everything he saw in his diary. 他把所看到的情況都寫(xiě)進(jìn)日記里。
有時(shí)兩者都可用。如：(www.hz123456.com)

A diarist is a person who keeps [writes] a diary. 日記作 者即指寫(xiě)日記的人。

We have dictation today. 今天我們要聽(tīng)寫(xiě)了。
Dictation makes my throat sore. 聽(tīng)寫(xiě)把我的嗓子讀痛了。

The teacher gave us two dictations today. 老師要我們聽(tīng)寫(xiě)了兩次(或兩份材料)。
◆dictionary n.
漢語(yǔ)中的“查字典”，通常的表達(dá)是：

注：不少人認(rèn)為不能直接說(shuō) look up the dictionary, 其實(shí)這種表達(dá)在現(xiàn)代英語(yǔ)中也可以用，請(qǐng)看以下摘自權(quán)威詞書(shū)的實(shí)例：
I spend more time looking up the dictionary than reading
the book. 我讀這本書(shū)時(shí)查字典的時(shí)間還多些。
