什么时候应该用sorry，什么时候应该用excuse me？ 怎样一开口不总是以“I”开头？ 外国人讨厌，中国人却爱用的英语单词有哪些？ 本书由台湾的世界公民文化中心在《商业周刊》上连载的有关中式英语改进的短文集结而成，主要内容是讲解那些人们在日常生活和商务活动中经常需要使用的纯正的英语表达方法。这些纯正的表达方法虽然用词简单，语法结构也不难，但是在实际的日常生活和商务活动场合中却屡屡被英语学习者遗漏，成为他们的盲点，导致在需要使用时只能被中式英语生硬笨拙的表达方式替代，造成沟通上的误会。本书就是为这个问题定制的一套解决方案。通过83篇言简意赅的文章，本书罗列出了上百个国人在使用英语时经常用到的错误的中式英语表达方式，清楚地指出了那些表达方式的错误所在，并且详细讲解了如何修改这些表达方式以及在不同使用场合中应如何用纯正的英文表达自己的意思。英语学习者既可以用这本书检测自己在使用英语的过程中犯过多少中式英语的错误，也可以用这本书充分体会到中文与英文的差异之处。

The three pocketbooks comprising the English Through Pictures series are the remarkable invention of I.A. Richards and Christine Gibson, who designed them to help the learner speak, read and write English in the quickest and clearest possible way - through pictures. The authors have made a careful selection of the most widely useful English words, choosing those with the power to define other words, and have put them to work in key patterns that offer the learner the ability to communicate successfully in English. Book 1 contains a vocabulary of 250 such words, with an additional 500 developed in Book 2; these 750 words are then used in Book 3 to build a command of 1000 words which, by their defining power, hold the possibility of understanding as much as another 20,000 words of English. Throughout English Through Pictures, responsibility for learning is placed directly on the learner, who from the very start enjoys the ability to put essential words to work creating key sentence patterns where meaning is clearly shown in pictures. These simplified drawings allow learners to focus on the sentence and to enjoy growing confidence as they successfully take control of language, with the workbooks in Books 1 and 2 challenging and reinforcing their growing competence as both speakers and readers. Motivated and inspired, learners will soon find to their delight that fluent communication in English - the common language of today's world - lies well within their grasp. English Through Pictures has already been used successfully by millions of learners in more than forty countries.
