本書特色
【特色一】
模擬實際職場的情境對話與例句
書中共有十篇主題對話,從主角智媛在Chapter 1的面試到Chapter 10的海外商務會議,讓讀者學習時不再是死板地背誦例句,而是彷彿進入智媛的職場生活,跟著她一起學習到面試、簡報、聚餐、虛擬會議、客戶協商等實用的職場英文!
【特色二】
精選140個職場最常用的字句
本書不從頭開始教詞性與文法,而是根據作者多年指導過上萬名韓國上班族英文的經驗,歸納出職場人士在溝通上最常犯的英文錯誤。不同於一般文法教科書,作者以幾行清晰明瞭的解釋,輔以大量例句和正反面範例,絕對是最節省上班族學習時間的英文自學書。
【特色三】
可相互對照的正確及錯誤英文句型範例
本書於章節開頭會先給你一篇充滿錯誤的英文對話或示例,讀者可自行閱讀並找出錯誤處,作者會於章節末尾給出修正後的版本並標示出重點文法。每個小節文法中,作者會補充大量正確及錯誤例句,讓你不只能夠學習標準文法,更能從書中的錯誤處明白自身盲點,加深學習印象。
例如:
1.在回信的最後用「I’m waiting for your response.」做結尾,會給人有點無禮又生硬的感覺。
錯誤用法:I’ll be waiting for your reply.
正確用法:I look forward to hearing back from you! (formal) 期待收到你的回覆!
2.appointment適合用於接待或交易等特定情況,不適合用於以友誼為目的,輕鬆見面的關係。如果是與某人輕鬆地見面,可以直接說出見面後要做的事(如 have coffee、have dinner 等),或是使用 hang out、meet up 等表達方式。
錯誤用法:I’m really sorry, but I can’t attend our appointment tonight because my son is sick at home.
正確用法:I’m really sorry, but I can’t have dinner with you all tonight because my son is sick at home. 真的很抱歉,我兒子生病在家,所以我今天沒辦法跟大家一起吃晩餐了。
【特色四】
部分單字英英釋義,對話可中英對照學習
本書部分單字會提供英英釋義,可補充單字轉譯後容易讓非英文文母語者混淆的部分。對話及文章皆有中英對照,易於讀者閱讀學習。
