商品簡介
Take a trip around the world of words and unlock the meaning of some of the most insightful, intriguing, and satisfying expressions on the planet, for which there are no English equivalents.
Christopher J. Moore defines these so-called "untranslatables," opening a window into the culture of each language, explaining words and phrases that in literal terms may boggle the mind. But when you understand words like a native, you will quickly grasp why, for example, in Swedish lagom is "just right" in more ways than one.
In Other Words is arranged by country or region of origin and spans the globe, offering words from Finnish and Portuguese to Chinese and Arabic. Each section begins with an enlightening introduction that leads into the fascinating stories behind the words and people who speak them, and phonetic guides make clear how to pronounce each word.
