This book is suitable for students in foreign universities who have learned some Chinese. It can also be used as a reference book for overseas teachers. This book is based on Prof. Yang Jizhou's years of teaching and research. As a practical reference book on synonyms, this book does not strive to be academic, but effective and helpful in the teaching and learning of Chinese. Prof. Yang made it a useful reference which foreign students and teachers can turn to whenever they have problems in their studies or teaching. Altogether, the book compares 1718 groups of words which are not synonyms in the traditional sense. Instead, they are the words that students tent to have problem in distinguishing the meanings. Each pair of "synonyms" is analyzed at 3 levels: definitions, collocations and a comparison of usage. Thus, non-native learners can have a clear understanding when they read along the explanations and summaries.

- Synonyms are compared in pairs. Pinyin and part-of-speech are given.
- Explanation of meaning in Chinese and English
- Word collocation is clearly presented in the table
- Simple and easy explanation o word usage
- Example sentences are given to differentiate the synonyms.

1700对近义词语用法对比 (外国人学汉语工具书)
本书共选了1700多对常用词语（其中有80多个是三个词为一组的），之所以把这些词语成对地配在一起，是因为它们大部分是同义词或反义词，有的是关系密切的词或词语结构，都是各国汉语学习者在使用中容易出错的。所以挑选这些词语进行对比，完全是从对外汉语课堂教学的实际出发并为对外汉语课堂教学所用的。编者根据几十年从事对外汉语教学和研究的经验，根据外国人和海外华侨人华侨学习汉语的实际需要，对这1700多对词语从语义、语用诸方面进行了有限的而不是穷尽性的分析对比。为了保证所选词条的常用性，我们参照了中国国家对外汉语教学领导小组办公室汉语水平考试中心编的《汉语水平词汇与汉字等级大纲》，使所选词条基本限制在该词汇大纲规定的范围之内。

本书的体例是，首先列出两个（或三个）意义相同、相近或相互有关联的词语，标出词性，加注汉语拼音，然后从以下三个方面，分层次地对它们进行比较和分析。
