In fact, an English dictionary you 1 today wasn't made until the Qing Dynasty(清朝), Three men did most of the important 2 work on dictionaries. They spent nearly all their lives trying to 3 words for their dictionaries. For them, it was a wonderful journey. The largest dictionary in the world is Oxford English Dictionary. The 4 for this dictionary came from an important meeting in Britain in 1857. Twenty-two years later, Oxford University asked James Murray to be the editor(編者) of its new dictionary.

　　Murray had never been to 5 . At the age of fourteen, he left his village school in Scotland and taught himself while working in a bank. 6 he became a great teacher. After Oxford gave him the job, Murray had a small house 7 in his garden to do the work. Every morning, Murray got out of bed at five o'clock and 8 in the small house several hours before breakfast. Often he would work into the night. Murray hoped to finish the new dictionary in ten years. But after five years, he was 9 adding(增加) words for the letter “A”! He worked on the dictionary 10 he was very old. Forty-four years later, in 1982,other editors finished the dictionary.
