掌握關鍵的英文片語,輕鬆看懂新聞英語!
很多人喜歡收看CNN新聞,不僅能掌握全球國際新聞脈動,還能藉機訓練自己的英文聽力及理解能力,但同時卻也對CNN新聞的播報速度及內容深度感到卻步而不敢涉獵其中,可以說對CNN新聞感到又愛又怕。除了因為覺得字彙難懂之外,新聞裡常出現的英文片語更讓人覺得像在霧裡看花一般有看沒有懂。好像明明有學過,卻又不是很確定它的意思是什麼,最後不是用猜的,就是乾脆不看了,這對想要接觸CNN新聞的讀者們來說實在有些可惜。
有鑑於此,本書特別從近兩年的CNN新聞中挑選出500則重大國際消息及各類知識,並將其分為「名人軼聞」、「政治社會」、「財經金融」、「生活旅遊」、「時尚娛樂」、「科學環保」、「科技保健」、「文化體育」等八大單元。這些新聞並不特別艱澀難懂,範圍涵蓋了大至天文科學的奧秘,小至與日常生活息息相關,你我不得不了解的資訊新知。
在這500則包羅萬象的新聞裡,我們各節選了一小段新聞內容,並從其中選出一個重要或常用的片語來做說明介紹。搭配上由片語所延伸出的例句或是相關用法,以及新聞片段中的使用實例及英中對照,讀者們不但能清楚了解片語的意思,還能知道這些片語在新聞中是如何被使用的。
有些人覺得片語難學,這是因為在英文片語中,許多動詞、名詞、介系詞、副詞之間的搭配都有固定的用法來表示特定的意思,只要更換了一個字,有可能就會變成另一個完全不同的意思。所以我們在每一個單元裡,又各按照這些英文片語的字母順序來排列,這樣讀者就可以比較對照,若同一個動詞接的是不同的介系詞,會有什麼樣的不同意思。另外,我們也適時補充了一些跟片語相關的同∕反義詞、相似詞、或是延伸學習讓讀者參考,幫助讀者擴大片語詞彙量。書末附有片語索引,方便讀者查詢學習。
建議讀者至官網下載本書的朗讀MP3音檔搭配書面文字學習。無論是美籍老師錄製的片語例句,或是原聲呈現的CNN新聞播報,必能滿足讀者們的學習需求。本書具有點讀功能(可另外選購點讀筆),只要在官網下載點讀筆音檔,將其安裝在點讀筆裡,即可在書上隨點隨聽,相當方便。希望在我們精心的設計安排下,讀者們能更快掌握更多學好英文片語的技巧和方法。學好這些常用的關鍵片語,看懂聽懂CNN新聞也不再是不可能的事囉!
