good 'collocation' dictionary for Chinese
Does anyone know of a good collocation dictionary / website with Chinese collocations and the English equivalent? e.g. I found the word ‘douse' in English is 浇 in Chinese. I would like to see what collocations / combinations have 浇 in Chinese. Nciku didn't have many. I used my phone dictionary and found 浇冷水, 借酒浇愁 and 火上浇油, but when I checked with a google search, I also found you can use 浇希望 (which my phone didn't have). So basically a collocation reference with lots of uses of each word and the English equivalent (like multitran.ru for Russian / English)
