Merely translating words from Chinese to English or from English to Chinese gives a limited sense of what a word is about. A single word has many meanings, many shades, and many uses. It has a history as well. Native speakers have the skills to fully utilize all these aspects of a given word. Think in English is the only book currently available on the market specifically designed to help EFL students develop these skills. Through practical exercises and short readings of the highest quality from some of the greatest writers in the English language, students will soon learn how to use words the same way native English speakers do.
了解英文字的真義不能只靠字面翻譯。一個英文單字往往涵義多面,用法多變,我們甚至還要注意其歷史來源;所以對一個英文學習者而言,要完全掌握英文字彙的意義並不容易。而目前市面上討論字彙的書雖多,卻沒有一本能幫助英文學習者深入了解字彙各個層面的意義。本書即是針對這個問題而設計;透過名家短文閱讀和實際練習,讓學生能在短時間內學到英語的正確使用方法。
