search when you can simply stay in the console and ask `lookup`::

    

    $ lookup

    $ lookup hello

    iCIBA: hello

    ------------

    你好； 问好； 喂； 呼叫

    $ lookup "execuse me"

    iCIBA: execuse me

    -----------------

    借口； 原谅； 挡箭牌； 理由

    $ lookup 计算机

    iCIBA: 计算机

    -------------

    computer； computers； computer science； calculating machine
