　　Taking a unique approach to translating bet365 withdrawal

It is generally believed that，After James Legge，Sinology research has been exhausted。However，Zhai Lisi is tenacious in his own unique way，Opened a new world in Sinology。Zhai Lisi discovered，There is great potential in the field of bet365 withdrawal literature，He takes the translation and introduction of bet365 withdrawal literary works as his own mission，Leading Sinology onto a new development path。

　　筚路兰祷典典

When looking back on his life, Giles said: "Counting from 1867，I have two main ambitions: 1.Helping people is easier、Master bet365 withdrawal (including written and spoken language) more correctly，And contribute to this；2.Inspiring people about bet365 withdrawal literature、History、Religion、Art、Philosophy、Broader and deeper interest in habits and customs。If I want to say what achievements I have achieved in realizing my first ambition，That is the "bet365 withdrawal-English Dictionary" and "Genealogy of Ancient and Modern Surnames" compiled by me。”1892，Volume one to three of "Hua-Ying Dictionary" will be published one after another，And soon became "a must-have daily reference book for foreign students"。1911，Second edition published。It can be said，The bet365 withdrawal-English Dictionary was one of the most successful bet365 withdrawal-English dictionaries in the late 19th and early 20th centuries，It is also considered to be Zhai Lisi’s “greatest achievement in his life”，The French Academy awarded Giles the "Julian Prize" for the second time。The main features of this dictionary are: 1.
