作者介绍：安波罗斯•比尔斯（1842-1913）1纪美国文学怪杰，在文学目前与马克•吐温齐名的有名小说家。译者介绍：杨丹东华大学外语系讲师，曾出版翻译各类图书十余本：东华大学出版《小王子》（英汉对照），《英语语法全解》，《英语五千单词百日通》，《英语经典幽默故事》《世界名人简介》（艺术家卷），《经典幽默故事》（东华大学出版社）等书。外研社出版《新视野大学英语（第二版）》。

《魔鬼辞典》是美作比尔斯的代表作之一。在该书中，比尔斯以辞典的形式为世间万物正名定义，既剖析了人方方面面的弱点，又对人类文明进行了辛辣而幽默的嘲讽。其另类观点，看似乖张悖谬，其实偏激而不乏深刻，尖酸而充满机智，读来让人哑然大笑，或者顿生感悟。本书准确快捷地领会原文、限度地汲取英语精华，采取英汉对照的形式进行编排，并对疑难词加以注释。此书在西方一版再版，经久不衰，“魔鬼辞典”已成为流行于全世界的一个通用名词，形形色色的续书、仿作至今层出不穷。
