很多學生對英文心存畏懼，主要的原因是他們讀不通、讀不懂，不能深入的了解英文。越不會，就越考不好，成績低落，興趣就隨著下降，越不想讀，因此越不會。一旦這些環節形成了「封閉的迴路」，也就形成了惡性循環， 這是令人非常惋惜的遺憾。本書是為了減少國人學習的困難而編寫的，是一本英文啟蒙書，像建萬丈高樓一樣，它是地面下的地基磐石。從最基本的〞be〞動詞開始，一直到動詞的三變化、現在分詞、過去分詞的用法，都有極

Frontiers of Memory in the Asia-Pacific explores the making and consumption of conflict-related heritage throughout the Asia-Pacific region. Contributing to a growing literature on ‘difficult heritage’, this collection advances our understanding of how places of pain, shame, oppression, and trauma have been appropriated and refashioned as ‘heritage’ in a number of societies in contemporary East and Southeast Asia and Oceania. The authors analyse how the repackaging of difficult pasts as heritage can serve either to reinforce borders, transcend them, or even achieve both simultaneously, depending on the political agendas that inform the heritage-making process. They also examine the ways in which these processes respond to colonialism, decolonization, and nationalism. The volume shows how efforts to preserve various sites of ‘difficult heritage’ can involve the construction of new borders in the mind between what is commemorated and what is often deliberately obscured or forgotten.
