本书介绍汉译英的基本方法。它以语言的社会符号性为基本原则，以汉英两种语言对比为核心，融合符号学、社会符号学、对比语言学、语义学、语用学、文体学、篇章分析学、文章学、修辞学和文化学等学科的基本知识，从词、句、段和篇四个方面讨论了汉译英过程中正确理解与贴切表达原文的方法与途径。译例多取自近几年有代表性的报刊、杂志、小说等出版物，新颖实用，有利于举一反三。多数译例均铺以分析解说，言简意赅，有利于启发思维。练习由浅入深，文体多样而实用，并附有参考译文，供读者实践。本书适用于大学生、研究生、翻译工作者、科技工作者和英语自学者。

本书共有四大特点：1、综合了“讲”和“写”的训练。2、可供两人以合作形式练习。3、完全符合一般考生程度，没有太深奥或太浅白的词句。4、有足够的指引以便读者自学。读者可依循以下五个步骤研习本书：1.预习每章开端所列的“词句精选”。2.与一友伴作“会话训练”。3.研读作者附注的“学习重点”及“提示”。4.在每章对话末部尝试作答“自由创作题”。5.尽量以每章所学来完成最后的“写作练习”。

本书是柯林斯COBUILD 英语词典系列之一。为中、高等程度的英语学习者提供了大量的学习与练习材料，其中100 多种基本动词、句型，每种都有详尽解释。本书编排新颖，每页分两栏，左栏为用法指导，右栏为启发性训练，大量的练习与全面的指导将帮助学习者熟练地掌握英语动词句型

翻译，无论是作为文化现象、思想运动，还是作为一项职业、一种知识技能，总与所处的时代背景密不可分。翻译的观念、方法、样式、标准、风格，无不与时俱进。观察一下世界范围和中国国内的翻译实践活动和理论研究，不难得出结论：翻译确实是人类精神文明中最富活力、最敏锐的领域之一。信息时代和市场经济，决定了这次翻译高潮最突出的特点。较之前三次翻译高潮，这一次的翻译高潮信息量更庞大，涵盖面更广泛，题材体裁更丰富多样，操作方式更灵活便捷，技术装备更先进，从业人员更众多，受益者更普遍，理论研究更活跃，人才培训更具规模。从经济学观点看，翻译作为信息产业之一，现在所产生的经济效益也是历史上空前的。如果说前三次翻译高潮，都是从外文译入中文为主，那么这一次翻译高潮则正在改变中国在翻译上的“入超”地位，介绍中国和了解中国的迫切需要，对中译外提出了更高的要求。

本书最大的特点是将GRE词汇的“音”、“形”、“义”融为一体，使读者能够高效地牢记这些词汇。逆向法是一种踏踏实实学习英语的方法，是钟道隆教授总结出来的一套科学的方法。逆向法主张从语音入手记忆词汇，“听、写、说、背、想”五法并举。这样做不仅能提高记忆效率，突破词汇关，同时还有助于掌握语音，提高听说能力。虽然本书完全可以单独使用，但和录音带一起使用，运用逆向法学习，效果会更好。

《英语写作人门》一书的编写历经数年，今天终于和读者见面了。为了使广大读者更好地了解《英语写作入门》，我们想说明以下几点。首先，我们是长期工作在外语教学第一线的高校教师。对英语专业以及非英语专业学生的实际写作水平比较了解，对他们渴望提高写作能力的心情也比较理解。所以，我们深感他们的手边缺少——本深入浅出、简洁实用的写作书。我们在这样的心理驱动下萌生写作此书的念头。因此，我们编写的宗旨只有一个：从读者的需要出发，从读者的角度取舍内容。读者不难发现，《英语写作入门》在写作理论上的涉猎不多，而将更多的篇幅留给切实具体的写作指导。从这个意义上讲．《英语写作入门》内容以实用为主。另外，《英语写作入门》的起点也定得不高，凡是具有高中英语水平的读者均能从《英语写作入门》中获益。就像《英语写作入门》的书名所希望的那样，我们期盼读者能关注《英语写作入门》并能早日进入英语写作之门。第二，《英语写作入门》的内容涵盖面较广：从用词造句入手，到段落写作，再扩展至短文的组织。应用文部分除了介绍各类书信便条外还有摘要和论文的撰写．这些内容与一般写作书的安排大致相仿，我们只不过更加注意由浅人深、逐步推进。“标点符弓用法小结”是专为读者急需时查询便利而安排的，我们想尽量减少读者东寻西找的烦劳。第三，《英语写作入门》第五章专门阐述了写作与阅读的关系。这是我们的由衷之言。中国学生学习外语的主要信息来源是阅读。我们说阅读是写作的基础，应该是不为过的。我们强调阅读除了考虑摹仿练习和积累知识的因素还有一层意思，这就是：写作水平在很大程度上取决于开阔的思路和深邃的内容；阅读正是提高这两个方面的能力的最佳途径。因为阅读能使我们领略别人多姿多彩的阅历、思想和情感。这无异于丰富了自己的内涵。因此，阅读对提高写作水平有着事半功倍的效果。本章还介绍了利用阅凄材料进行摹仿性写作的作用和意义。这同样是我们教学工作中的尝试。希望读者及同行们能与我们共同探讨这种方法。《英语写作入门》收录的范文大部分为英美人所写。其中有一些是英美学生的习作。范文中有少量是中国学生的习作，也有名篇佳作。这些范文深浅程度各异，内容样式不同，希望能满足各个层次读者的要求。大多数范文用词简洁，结构明快，并有一定的趣味性。这样的选材是为了消除读者对写作的畏惧心理，并使他们感到英语写作并非高不可及。只要坚持写作，不断完善，写作能力呵以提高，也一定能够提高。

作者任教中学会考班英语十多年，时常采用不同的教学法。作者曾于1995年义跟30多位学生尝试了一项写作交流计划，名为STS。简单来说，这项写作交流计划是按照以下程序进行的：1老师首先以书信形式写下要跟学生们分离或谈论的事情。2然后便给每位学生这封老师的信。3学生们读过老师的信件后，各自写一封回信给老师，学生们可对老师的话作出回应，也可以主动提出新的话题。4老师看过学生们的信后，便书写第二封给学生，以回应他们的心声，或提出新的话题。按照以上的程序，作者跟学生们作了30次的信件交流。由于老师和学生们都从这计划中获益不少，故现在把这些信件的内容辑录成书，希望读者能通过师生之间的文字交流，得以提高写作技巧。

本书所收录的500条俚语，均属于大多数英语美人所熟知并被广泛使用的词条。这里俚语、不仅在过去和现在为大多数美英美人所使用，而且也有可能在将来很长一段时期内不会消失。此外，收录于本书之内的俚语词条绝大多数都活跃于当人英美报刊中，具有很高的实用性。通过这些俚语，我们不但能够更全面地了解英美各亚文化群体的生活情况和文化动态，而且也有助于我们更进一步了解英美人的生活习惯和思维模式。本书前言特色及评论文章节选

本书分为三大部分，第一部分阐述西方经典和现代修辞传统及其研究；第二部分着重介绍和讨论了当今西方（主要是英语国家）写作和写作教学；第三部分通过对范文的阅读和分析分别介绍和讨论基本文体写作的全过程。全书力求理论指导明确、结构框架清晰、内容翔实生动、针对性强，可供写作教学研究者参考，也可以用于自学和查阅。所用范文大部分译自近年来发表语外语期刊上的文章，但范文后提供的思考、讨论和写作的题目均深入触及当今中国社会生活的各个层面。本书是目前英语写作教学与实践的经典之作，具有极高的参考价值。

She was telling my father about her nephews in Seattle while I listened， eating my turkey sandwich. I noticed two of the crew members in the aisle had stripped away a section of carpeting and were climbing down into the fuselage of the plane. I asked my father about it， and he said that they must be repairing something.They remained inside the entrails of the plane for a long time. Meanwhile， the stewardesses were picking up empty trays and carefully evading all questions about the two men under the aisle. Then we all knew.“Good afternoon， this is Captain Williams speaking. We have encountered some difficulty in our landing gear carriage.The two crew members inside the fuselage now are inspecting the landing gear and repairing it. Please do not be alarmed.The situation will be remedied momentarily. Thank you.”After the announcement， everyone spoke a little quieter， not wanting to let on that the announcement had bothered them. The stewardesses were trotting around with the same plastic grins asking people if there was anything that they would like. There seemed to be a lot more people drinking liquor.The old woman from Ohio was telling my father that this was the first time she had ever flown in an airplane and that she was afraid something like this was going to happen. My father told her that he was sure that everything was going to be OK. Just then the captain came on again.“We have inspected the landing gear and determined the problem. We have repaired it to the best of our abilities and think it will hold during landing. It is securely in place now but there is a chance that it will not remain like that while we land.We are now flying circles over Seattle so as to use up the extra fuel which could possibly catch on fire if we were to belly land. I have notified the Seattle Airport and they are clearing a runway for us. Thank you very much.” After that everyone was even quieter. Some whispered and others just looked around to express their nervous feelings. A man across the aisle ordered a double Scotch for his wife and himself. His wife was clutching a Kleenex in one hand and holding her husband’s arm with the other. She was crying silently and her tears rolled down her cheeks and onto her plaid dress. Her husband was stroking her hair and telling her quietly that everything was going to be all right.A stewardess stopped and asked me if there was anything that I would like. I said no， and she smiled and moved on. I respected her for smiling at everyone while we were all in the midst of what could be a disaster.I looked over at my father and was just going to ask him a question which he couldn't answer when he looked me in the eyes and told me not to be afraid. I was going to say something when the captain came on again.“We will be landing in exactly ten minutes. Five minutes from now， we will be passing out pillows and blankets for those that would like them to cover their heads when in the emergency positions for landing. I repeat， please do not be frightened.”The woman by the window was looking at snap-shots of her family talking silently to each one as if reciting a poem. My father had his arm around my shoulders and was talking to me. His voice was calm and measured， but I could see sweat standing out on his forehead.“It is now five minutes to landing time. If you would like a pillow， press your “hostess” call button and a pillow will be brought to you. Please stay calm and your collaboration is very important. Thank you.”My father's grip tightened on my shoulders and I was glad that he was giving me strength. The husband and wife across the aisle were embracing and tears were gliding down her swollen， pink， cheeks.“Will everyone please get into their emergency positions. Be calm and please do as we say. There are now two and a half minutes until landing.” I pressed my chin on my knees and closed my eyes after looking towards my father and seeing the old woman beyond him praying. Eyes closed， I could hear the stewardesses walking in the aisle and the old woman’s voice.“One minute until landing.” The only sound was that of the plane gliding slowly down. Everyone waited silently.“Thirty seconds， twenty， ten...”I felt the plane touch down on the runway， lurch， then begin to roll in the usual jerking way. I got up from my position slowly and saw firetrucks and ambulances lining the sides of the runway. I wanted to laugh and cry at the same time. “We made it，” my father said， his voice hoarse. The couple across the aisle kissed， and she lay her head on his shoulder. The old woman from Dayton， Ohio said， “I swear to God that I will never ride another airplane as long I live.” My father laughed and kissed her on the cheek.Writing Essays in English 用英语写论文Presented before the reader are six essays of different types， which respectively come under travel notes， linguistics， Englsih literature and American literature. Students are encouraged to read and make a study of these essays in the hope that they will get some inspiration of how to go about an eassy in English. To be able to write an English essay， the student must， apart from a fairly good command of the English language， be well acquainted with the subject he/she is writing about.Five of the six essays listed below are written by Chinese. This is deliberately arranged to show our reader what we Chinese， non-native speakers of English， can hopefully accomplish in writing. Nonetheless， we still provide an essay written by an American student to draw our reader's attention to the difference in style， format， diction and way of thinking between Chinese students who learn English as an acquired language and Americans who speak and use the English language as their mother tongue， a language they are born with.The titles of the six essays are：Splendour of the Fall—A Glimpse of the Life of Senior Viennese （Travel Notes）Teaching of English Phonetics in China（Linguistics）Love Prevails Over Hate （English Literature）A Study of the Various Interpretations of “Young Goodman Brown” （American Literature）“As Loving Hind”by Bradstreet （American Literature）Bryant’s Two Poems on Mortality （American Literature）本书收录的六篇论文分属四种不同类型，即游记、语言学、英国文学和美国文学。同学们可以仔细阅读这几篇论文以便从中得到启发，以后自己也学着写。要写好一篇论文除了有较为扎实的英语基本功之外，还必须熟悉自己所写的论文的主题及内容。六篇论文中有五篇是中国人写的，其目的是想告诉读者中国人也能写好英文。尽管如此，我们还是为大家提供一篇由美国学生写的论文。毕竟中国学生的英语不是母语，是后学的，而美国人的英文则是母语。可以说是生来就会的。我们可从中找出他们在风格、格式、用词甚至思想方式上存在的差异。六篇论文的题目分别是：秋天的色彩——维也纳老人生活一瞥（游记）中国的英语语音教学一览（语言学）爱战胜恨（英国文学）对《好青年布朗》不同解释的研究（美国文学）布雷兹特里特的爱情诗（美国文学）布赖恩特论人生终极的两首诗（美国文学）……TOP 其它信息 装帧：精装页数：162 开本：32开
