似乎还缺一本文化类词典

例句1：
3 f2 s5 p" W) j# rThe 32-year-old officer, a six-year veteran of the department whose name was not released, is on paid administrative leave pending an investigation.
例句2：

上述标蓝的地方，在一般词典里全都查不到，小型百科词典也不收。。。还好有维基，否则只有抓狂。
不过维基也太大了，如果有一部中小型的词典专收文化类的词条就好了。

按理说至少学习型词典应该收录这些和英美文化/生活密切相关的词，对外国学习者来说，无论从字面还是上下文，都没法准确推断这类词的涵义。
比如美国的homecoming文化，相关的词就有homecoming court、homecoming Queen/King、homecoming prince等等，
感觉学习型词典至少应该在homecoming词条下给开个小专栏介绍介绍。

朗文当代英语大辞典 （英英·英汉双解）  中的文化注释还算可以。

A “homecoming game” is an event in a high school or at a university typically in the fall, that includes some sort of sports game and usually a dance or some sort of party. The word homecoming” comes from “come home.” In this case, former students, people who used to go to a school, are invited back on homecoming day or homecoming weekend to go to the sports game, often an American football game, and then to a party – although usually they don’t go to the parties, that’s just for the current students. Homecoming is a big event in most American high schools and in many American colleges and universities. There are dances; there are all sorts of things associated with that custom.
