《史上最強法語文法》修訂版專為初學者設計！秒懂易學的法語文法教材「字母、發音、拆音節、連音、文法」完全收錄！從「字母、發音、拼字、拆音節」等基礎課程開始，先學會法文字母的拼寫、唸讀的基礎，再結合最完整的文法課程＋重點式解說＋圖表、例句，搭配隨掃隨聽的QR碼線上音檔，從發音、會話、文法全方位加強法語自學好學，教學好帶，一本搞定「聽說讀寫」的法語文法書不同於其他法語文法書！這本從「字母、發音」開始教！ 看書中的文法講解，並聆聽例句，讓法語零基礎的初學者，也能從頭感受法語的魅力。【對零基礎的人來說，「法語」一開始最要命的障礙是…】法語表面上看起來和英文一樣是26個拉丁字母A, B, C…，卻有自己一套特殊的發音規則與文法規則，例如法語有很多需要連音、不發音的地方，並非像英文一樣，用什麼字母拼字就發那個字母的音。若一直停滯在看到法文字卻不知怎麼唸的階段，或是只是死記文法規則，因為缺乏實際開口運用的經驗，文法規則與例句之間的關聯無法活生生地烙印在腦袋中，很快地就會失去學習的動力。【對法語初學者來說，「法語」怎麼學老是學不會的原因是…】法語基本的會話聽著聽著就會唸、單字可以依樣畫葫蘆，但真正要表達或了解一句法語，若一直沒搞懂法語文法的話，馬上就會卡住。法語有自己特殊又嚴謹的語順、拼字、用字與變化的規則，一旦詞類位置順序搞錯了、陰陽性沒弄懂，整句話的意思就偏了。要掌握法語的邏輯，首先就要先弄清楚法語的文法規則。【雖然學過法語，但要是沒打好基礎，可能會發生這樣的事…】＊看到法文un homme沒學過法語的人可能會唸：[un hom]。因為和英文home拼法很像，甚至還會以為是「家」的意思！→其實這個字要唸 [œ̃ nɔm]，h不發音，兩單字要連音。而且從un也可知是陽性，而homme為「男人」的意思。＊你想表達「我喜歡狗」，法國人以為你「喜歡吃狗肉」，用錯「定冠詞」差很多！就算你已經知道這些單字chien（狗）、aimer（喜歡）、je（我），也知道法文的語順與結構，但如果...你說 成了：J’aime le chien.（我喜歡狗肉），意思就差很多了，而且會嚇壞許多法國人。正確說法：J’aime les chiens.（我喜歡狗。）→關鍵在於定冠詞le（陽性單數的定冠詞）和les（複數定冠詞）（相當於英文的the）。當要表示喜歡某某事物時（例如狗），在可數的情況時，aimer後面

Longquan wares were made mainly in Zhejiang province over a period of over sixteen hundred years, from the 3rd to the 19th centuries. There are two outstanding features of the beautiful Longquan ceramics, one is that the body is made of porcelain, and the other, that the glaze contains kaolin in its composition. This gives Longquan ware unique colour and quality.The body is smooth and dense, the glaze either unctuous or shiny, the colour a myriad shades of kingfisher blue and jade green. The result of development of porcelain technology at Longquan was a tough, attractive, and versatile celadon material that was ideally suited for export. Longquan vessels found their way to a variety of markets around the world, from royal palaces to common dwellings.During the Yuan dynasty a peak in quantity was reached, with more than 150 kiln sites overall. Many new decoration techniques and forms of mass production for global exports emerged, until production almost expired entirely during the late

沒有人是一座孤島，獨踞而立。每個人都是陸地的一小塊，都是主體的一部分。 No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. 這是十六世紀英國詩人約翰．多恩（John Donne, 1572–1631）的著名詩作，傳達了每一個人的存在都不是與世隔絕的，我們活在這個世界上，我們與外界、與他人，就是一個整體的存在。 我們從出生就處在緊密交織的關係網中，這個關係網小至日常生活中天天接觸的家人，我們在當中笑、在當中哭，強烈影響著我們的身心；這個關係網又可大至無垠的宇宙，它維繫著生命萬物的存在，但是我們往往忽略了這個事實。 作者的上一本系列著作《我們與自己的距離：如何認識你自己》，主要探討了「自己與自己的關係」，本書《我與我之外的距離：如何建立更好的關係》，則是探討「自己和外界人事物的關係」，從近至遠，帶領我們穿梭這層層交織、綿延無盡的關係網。 家人、朋友、同學、同事，家庭、學校、工作、戀愛、結婚；不同的人，不同的環境，不同的關係，不同的互動；在「我之外」的這些存在，左右著自己的喜怒哀樂，甚至決定了自己的生存。 「沒有人是一座孤島」，但是在主觀的心靈感受上，我們往往卻容易產生孤獨感，其中很大的原因，是「我與我之外」相處出現了問題，像是冷漠、衝突，甚至是斷裂。本書將探討各種關係，審視各種關係上的問題，並且提供有效的方法，幫助解決各種關係的疑難雜症，打造更美好的關係。 這不是一本高深的學識著作，而是透過深入淺出的文字，帶領讀者迅速找出各種關係溝通的問題，學習如何面對並處理自己與外界的關係。本書將探討的主題包括： * 人際溝通的困境與突破 * 溝通的模式與方法 * 人際關係與設定界線 * 親子和夫妻等家庭互動 * 愛情關係 * 婚姻關係 * 與大環節的互動關係 書中有各種知名的理論和有效的實踐方法，可以引導如何發現問題，並採取適當的措施來解決問題，例如：薩提爾的冰山理論和五種溝通型態、卡內基的三十個溝通原則、盧森堡的非暴力溝通、蓋瑞巧門的五種愛之語、塔瓦布的人際界線與設定、設定內在界限、史坦伯格的愛情三角理論、約翰李的六種愛情風格等等。 本書兼具啟發性和可操作性，可以引導一步步認識自己與外界的各種關係，給予清晰的角度以重新認識問題，並提供具體
