簡介:
內容介紹:英語語言是偶然性和不規則性的有趣雜糅,這種沒有規律的組合常常與邏輯和常識不符……英語難以駕馭、捉摸不定,這也正是這種語言的魅力所在。然而,任何可以有助於規范語言的方法對我們來說都是有益的。《萬物簡史》作者、比爾-布萊森力作、最受英美寫作者歡迎的“咬文嚼字”、如果你喜愛英語,那就薦也不要錯過英語。
What is the difference between “immanent” and “imminent”? What is the singular form of graffiti? What is the difference between “acute” and “chronic”? What is the former name of “Moldova”? What is the difference between a cardinal number and an ordinal number? One of the English language's most skilled writers answers these and many other questions and guides us all toward precise, mistake-free usage. Covering spelling, capitalization, plurals, hyphens, abbreviations, and foreign names and phrases, Bryson's Dictionary for Writers and Editors will be an indispensable companion for all who care enough about our language not to maul, misuse, or contort it.
