英辞郎 on the WEB PROを使い始めました。
一ヶ月315円です。最初の一ヶ月は無料です。
普通の英辞郎 on the WEBとの違いは、
検索履歴、単語帳、整列、頻度集計、条件指定検索などですが、
特に目を引いたのはChromeアプリとの連動です。
Chromeブラウザ用のウェブアプリを併用することで、
英語記事を読みながら単語のダブルクリックで訳語が同タブ内で表示されます。
これで効率よく英文を読み進めることができそうです。
お試しあれ。

■意味を考えてみよう。今日取り上げる単語が含まれています
A lot of us are having to bone up on headgear etiquette
now that hats seem to have come back into fashion for men
in such a big way.
I think incivility is on the rise in America.
Yes, society's mores are definitely changing, particularly
when it comes to the use of mobile phones and other
gadgets in public.
What I consider the height of rudeness is when I'm having
a conversation with someone, and they text a third party
on their mobile phone while not making eye contact with me.
That sort of behavior is par for the course these days.
