美国口语惯用法例句集粹前言:

前言: 学习语言,如果只注重读写,而没有口语表达能力,那么交际就会受到很大限制.这个道理已引起了很多英语学习者 的重视,但在目前的口语学习中,大多数学习者却往往只能将所学的书面表达方法用在口语上,结果就导致了口语表达既 生硬又不得体,甚至会引起误解.

我们认为,要掌握一门语言,对它的惯用语(set phrases and expressions)是不可忽视的.这里所指的惯用语包括短语 (phrases),非正式的习惯用语(informal phrases),谚语(proverbs)和俚语(slang)等.学习和使用惯用语有很多好处:可以使人 通过简单的语句表现有时难以言传的复杂意义;可以使人更亲切自然地表达自己,迅速拉近与交谈者的距离……更重要的 是, 通过对惯用语的学习, 可以为学习者提供一个深入了解他国文化的特殊视野和有效途径, 而这一点对于掌握地道流畅, 符合语言习惯的外语来说是至关重要的. 本书原为英日对照,作者 Shawn Holley 出生于美国犹他州,曾与夫人玛丽莲一起受聘在日本任教,其间,他发现许多日本学生知道相当多的英语单词 (有些是甚至连美国人都不认识的),而其英语表达能力却又相当有限.这使他对英语的教学方法产生了疑问.于是,他利 用工作之余写下了《口语表达》《日常生活英语表达集》 , ,以及这本《美国口语惯用法例句集粹》等一大批包括后来成为 日本最畅销英语书的,深受欢迎的口语书.作者所认识到的日本学习者在英语学习中的这种反常现象,在中国学习者身上 也同样存在,甚至有过之而无不及.这也正是我们热忱地将此书翻译过来,介绍给中国读者的重要原因和直接动力. 本书收录了美国口语中使用频率最高的 4000 多个短语,归入 889 个中心词中,并为它们逐一配上例句.所有例句及 短语都属于标推的美国口语.在翻译的过程中,对原例句尽可能采用直译的原则,以便使读者既能从例句中获得短语应用 的生动语境,又能准确地获得短语的本身意义;同时,翻译时也尽可能地保持了原书的口语特色.另外,在一些译文中, 译者加人了必要的注释或说明,主要有以下几种类型: (1) 短语本身在不同语境中有不同的释义.例如: This job is for the birds. 这工作毫无意义 (或:荒唐可笑). (2) 对文化背景方面的说明.例如: The local department store is having a white sale today.当地的百货商店今天有床单,棉织物这类商品的降价出 售.(注:美 国的这类商品多为白颜色.) (3) 对短语本身含义的解释.例如: We had to sign a yellow-dog contract before they\'d hire us.在他们雇用我们之前,我们不得不签署了一份黄犬协约(注:以 受雇人员不得加人工会为条件的雇用契约). (4) 对短语应用方面的说明.例如: Will you help me? Pretty p1ease with sugar? 你能帮我吗?求求你啦!(注:多为孩子用语.) (5) 为使语句更为准确完整而加人的一些必要说明.例如: We must counsel teens to postpone having sex until they get married. 我们必须忠告十几岁的年轻人将(初次) 发生性行为的时 间延至结婚以后.

《美国口语惯用法例句集粹》

www.iselong.com 作者:整夜失眠





  去年买了一本书,清华出的“美国口语惯用法例句集粹”,一位旅日的老美编写的,里面收录了美国口语中使用频率最高的4000多个短语,归入889个中心词,并逐一配上了例句,当时觉得挺不错的,就买下了。刚开始时,还翻翻看看,后来就被我彻底遗弃了,书其实是好书,只是觉得还用不上,我连中式英语还没搞定呢,地道口语,离我十万八千里了!刚刚闲来没事,忽想起了此书,又翻了翻,觉的挺有意思的,好象它序言说的“你可以漫不经心地翻开它,浏览几页,相信您一定会在这看似简单的句子中,领略到一种恍然大悟的快感”,快感还谈不上,只是有那么一点点感觉,有那么一点点动心。于是随便抄录几句,特简单的,特淳朴的,供您把玩。为了感谢您的点击,我决定把快乐给你,把悲伤都留给我自己。
