26、y the Nauruans D. The phosphate mines were destroyedBOne of the greatest contributions to the first Oxford English Dictionary was also one of its most unusual. In 1879, Oxford University in England asked Prof. James Murray to serve as editor for what was to be the most ambitious dictionary in the hi
27、story of the English language. It would include every English word possible and would give not only the definition but also the history of the word and quotations (引文)showing how it was used.
