A FRESH, FUNNY, UP-CLOSE LOOK AT HOW SOUTH KOREA REMADE ITSELF AS THE WORLD'S POP CULTURE POWERHOUSE OF THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY By now, everyone in the world knows the song "Gangnam Style" and Psy, an instantly recognizable star. But the song's international popularity is no passing fad. "Gangnam Style" is only one tool in South Korea's extraordinarily elaborate and effective strategy to become a major world superpower by first becoming the world's number one pop culture exporter. As a child, Euny Hong moved from America to the Gangnam neighbourhood in Seoul. She was a witness to the most accelerated part of South Korea's economic development, during which time it leapfrogged from third-world military dictatorship to first-world liberal democracy on the cutting edge of global technology. Euny Hong recounts how South Korea vaulted itself into the twenty-first century, becoming a global leader in business, technology, education, and pop culture. Featuring lively, in-depth reporting and

Tenderly resonant and memorable." --Kirkus Reviews (starred review) It's the summer before fifth grade, and for Ferris Wilkey, it is a summer of sheer pandemonium: Her little sister, Pinky, has vowed to become an outlaw. Uncle Ted has left Aunt Shirley and, to Ferris's mother's chagrin, is holed up in the Wilkey basement to paint a history of the world. And Charisse, Ferris's grandmother, has started seeing a ghost at the threshold of her room, which seems like an alarming omen given that she is also feeling unwell. But the ghost is not there to usher Charisse to the Great Beyond. Rather, she has ot

「英國人很常這樣說，外國人卻不知道！」從打招呼、約見面、表達關心、抱怨、談工作，到聊天氣最貼近生活、適用不同情境的800句對話讓你用英式風格接住日常話題，自然地融入當地生活！ 用英文聊天的時候，是不是表達總是差那麼一點？？ 明明語意沒有錯，話題卻一下子就結束？ 關鍵在於，你不知道英文母語者都怎麼聊！ 聊天就像拋接球，如果不能自然接住話題，對話就會像失手的球一樣尷尬落地。要在英文對話中接住話題，就得了解母語者都怎麼說！ 舉例來說： 有人分享自己做了厲害的事，你可以立刻誇獎Nice one!（幹得好！）；要表達理解，除了說I get it.，還可以說Fair enough.（聽起來很合理。）；朋友講了很扯的經驗，你可以說That’s mad!（太誇張了！）；聽到有人分享衰事，可以說That’s the pits.（太糟了吧。） 在聊天中給予適當的回饋，就能讓氣氛更加熱絡；掌握英國人慣用的說法、口吻，就能聽懂言下之意，讓對話流暢進行，即使身為外國人也不會格格不入！ 本書作者在倫敦生活6年，深入觀察英國人在日常和職場中的對話，精選出800句連英國人都認可、實用度最高的說法。例如： A：What are your plans for tomorrow?（你明天有什麼計畫？） B：Just chilling out.（在家耍廢。） 此外，各種說法的使用範例中，時不時會出現神來一筆的英式幽默，除了學英文用法，也體會整個文化中的機智詼諧，例如： A：Last night I was so upset we lost the match. I indulged in a big box of chocolates.（昨晚我因為比賽輸了心情好差，所以嗑掉一大盒巧克力。） B：How are you feeling today?（那你今天覺得如何？） A：Fat.（覺得胖。） 全書輕鬆有趣，書中解說不同說法的起源、適用的情境，還不時補充英國文化小知識，讓讀者豐富學習，深刻感受英式英語獨特的魅力！ 適用讀者 如果你…… ■ 即將前往英國求學、工作 ■ 喜歡英國影視作品 ■ 熱愛英國文化 那麼一定不能錯過這本書！ MP3免費聆聽 讀者請參閱書內APP操作說明，或加入眾文LINE官方帳號好友（ID：@jwbooks）申請兌換序號，享有免費聆聽音檔的
