Don't infest your Mac with Google trash. Mac OS has an excellent built in dictionary and thesaurus. Many additional languages can be downloaded and installed if required. here: http://www.apple.com/findouthow/mac/#dictionary

I agree with "Mac OS has an excellent built in dictionary and thesaurus", but one thing you're wrong: OS X built-in dictionary doesn't have a excellent English to Chinese dictionary. The third-part dictionaries can't help a lot on it. Because of no one maintains it.
