mhwgoo/cambridge
Terminal version of Cambridge Dictionary by default. Also supports the Merriam-Webster Dictionary for the AE flavor.
This tool helps people who frequently look up word definitions, synonyms, or translations in dictionaries while working in a terminal environment. You provide a word or phrase, and it quickly returns its definition from either the Cambridge or Merriam-Webster Dictionary, optionally with Chinese translations. It's designed for anyone who spends a lot of time in a command-line interface and needs quick dictionary access without switching applications.
Use this if you are a writer, student, researcher, or developer who needs fast dictionary lookups directly within your terminal.
Not ideal if you prefer a graphical user interface for your dictionary or need definitions in languages other than English or Chinese.
