encyclopaedic
含义: Possessing or covering an extremely wide range of knowledge or information; comprehensive in scope, as if drawn from an encyclopaedia.
Encyclopaedic is almost always used figuratively to praise the breadth and depth of someone's knowledge or the scope of a reference work. 'An encyclopaedic knowledge of Victorian literature' or 'an encyclopaedic guide to British wildflowers' — the word implies not just comprehensiveness but an impressive, almost intimidating range. Note the British spelling with 'ae'; American English uses 'encyclopedic.'
