精準英文法 作者:顏元叔

Y-01-No.12 ISBN:9579665028 借書找Sandy










一般學生與社會人士,他們不是要研究英語,他們只要用英語。他們不要追根究底,找出英文文法的拉丁根源;他也需要知道現今英語的發展根由。他片要把握的只 是正規英語,英美人的正常與通用的英語—而這,也是英語的大本營,主力部隊。所以,在英文文法方面,他們需要一本把握這個主流的書:而且,這本書能夠單刀 直入、乾淨利落,替他們解決使用中遭遇的文法問題:翻開一查一看,一分鐘之內就可以有確切的答案。

年前,我推出「即解英文法手冊」,便是這樣一本書。如今這本「精準英文法」更是這樣一本書。「即解」是文法的入門,適合於初學者。「精準」則適合於中層 次;從高中到大學所需的實用文法知識,盡在其中。我個人在編著「高中英文」時,也從其中獲益良多。這本書的好處京是以簡馭繁,決不囉嗦。任何文法觀念,用 最精簡的說明一語道破,舉例明示,並且在例句後面附上該例句精準而落實的分析—不像有些文法書,舉例而不析例,令讀者滿頭霧水。

文法書不是讀一遍就可以「繳卷」的。你先讀一遍,甚至兩遍,把握全書大概;然後就是常常為這個那個問題去查閱它,查閱你想知曉的項目。一本文法書有點像一 部辭典,沒有人能一讀全熟,必須遇難即查。這就是為什麼編得合規矩的文法書,各章各段各節都標以數字,更備有詳盡索引,讓讀者按圖索驥,一查即得。「精準 英文法」具備了這個編輯架構,查閱極其方便。

善與人同。我個人覺得「精準」的確是一本最切實際、最好用的文法,所以把它編譯出來,與國內學習與使用英文的人同享。

Roget's 21st Century Thesaurus

Y-01-No.8 ISBN/9780385338950 借書找Sandy
From Library Journal
Roget's is probably as popular a name for lending authority to thesauruses as Webster's is for dictionaries. Although this new version is not the direct descendant of the original, it follows the now-popular dictionary format for its 17,000 main entries ( abandon - zoom ) and provides other innovations as well. The part of speech, very brief definition, synonyms (over 450,000), and references to an 837-term Concept Index are indicated for each entry. Words in the Concept Index are arranged under categories, e.g., actions, causes, and objects, and assist in generating alternative word choices through meaning to word searches. Antonyms are not included, but synonyms representing nonstandard usage are noted. The lexicographer-author's selections reflect contemporary usage, gender sensitivity, and recently evolved words. This current and uncomplicated thesaurus is highly recommended for all libraries.
