The king of subject-based Korean-English dictionaries that has been consistently loved for 20 years!
The ultimate basic current affairs dictionary for interpretation and translation professionals and international business practitioners!!

This is the 4th revised edition of 『Lee Jin-young's Basic Dictionary of Interpretation and Translation』, which was published in 2004 as Korea's first interpretation dictionary and has been greatly loved by practitioners and students of interpretation and translation for nearly 20 years.
We added new vocabulary that emerged in response to social changes and reorganized the names of government systems and institutions that changed.


『Lee Jin-young's Basic Dictionary of Interpretation and Translation』 is a Korean-English dictionary of current affairs terms and concepts compiled by former Ewha Womans University professor Lee Jin-young, who has worked as a professional interpreter and translator for a long time, based on the information she has accumulated over the years.
Key vocabulary was selected and included under 24 topics, including society, culture, religion, administration, judiciary, international politics, security, economy, management, finance, and trade.
For each field, related terms are organized into headings and subheadings to help you learn English efficiently, and many practical examples that can be used not only in writing but also in conversation are included.
In addition to current affairs terminology, the basic concepts of each field are explained separately, so that it can function as a more thorough basic current affairs dictionary.
Additionally, individual entries are easily found through an index included at the end of the book.
The index, organized in Korean and English and guiding you through the pages, allows you to check basic technical terms in the field at a glance.


This dictionary will be a very useful reference book, offering practical assistance not only to students studying interpretation and translation, but also to professionals working in international affairs, those working in English, and those studying abroad.
