Here is a possibility.


<assign|d-entry|<\macro|word|translation>
  <\wide-tabular>
    <tformat|<table|<row|<\cell>
      <hspace|5mm><em|<arg|word>>.
    </cell>|<\cell>
      <arg|translation>
    </cell>>>>
  </wide-tabular>
</macro>>

I composed it by first writing it in the "usual" TeXmacs WYSIWYG mode 
(using the menu for setting u a table). Then I took the table and I 
copied it inside a macro. Max made a video some time ago, where he 
showed this way of composing macros, Max do you have the video address?

As a last step I added a bit of space at the beginning (an indent), I 
think it looks nicer in this way (similar to the "description" environment).
