吳明益專文推薦。寫詩、也寫散文的作家阿布；在精神科診療病人，並返看自我的醫者阿布。內容簡介：吳明益推薦：「一個能思考死亡，而不只是對抗死亡的醫師，也有可能接近哲學家與詩人的。」我們永遠無法親身經歷另一個人的苦痛，只能試著接近。［這世界像極了一艘巨大的「瘋人船」，在正常與瘋狂之間，飄蕩。］有時我會錯亂，究竟病房裡面是精神疾患的世界，還是現實社會反而是妄想與幻覺的樂園？精神科病房永遠大門深鎖。似乎在這裡時間有不同的流向。或許鐵門的存在不是防止他們外出擾亂這個世界，而是讓這個粗暴的世界不至於輕易地傷害到他們。／你有一指幅的自由，但當你抵抗，拘束只會愈來愈緊。面對約束帶最好的方式是全身放鬆。／用肉體的傷驅除心裡的痛，好像生活到了最低最底，只剩下自己的痛自己的血，是整個失控的生命裡，唯一能掌握的東西。精神科醫師似路又似橋，承接著眾多「卡住」的微渺心靈，無法代其受苦，但願盡己所有地貼近。傾力收小自己，將他人的地獄融成了自己，清晰聽見病徵在泣訴，這是身為醫者對患者的虔誠敬意，也是一名寫作者之於苦痛經驗的溫柔自省。還是住院醫師時，曾聽學姊說：「精神科的訓練能給你一次機會，讓自己成為更好的人。」成為主治大夫的自己，如今有變得更好嗎？光探入了裂隙，答案就在那裡。本書特色：◎吳明益推薦：「萬物都有裂縫，那是光照進來的契機。（There is a crack in everything.That's how the light gets in.）這是加拿大歌手柯恩（Leonard Cohen）的歌詞，當然，對我來說也是詩。阿布以此為標題，寫了從受苦者、醫學知識、醫師不同角度所觀看的精神問題。阿布的文字不再像過去一樣單純地熱情，而多了節制以及博雜的援引。那些援引讓身為讀者的我，有時迷惘，有時若有啟發，有時則純然地沉浸在他的敘事和那些病徵發生的可能原因裡。」（──節錄自推薦序〈作為凡人，聆聽凡人〉）◎「有時候覺得好像有兩個我，鏡像似的。一個是醫學中心裡的醫師，一個是穴居的寫作者。」──寫詩、也寫散文的作家阿布；在精神科診療病人，並返看自我的醫者阿布……萬物皆有裂縫，他細細探入，那光照進的地方。◎我們永遠無法親身經歷另一個人的苦痛，只能試著接近。學習將自己的腳縮小、變形，塞進那雙自己不曾穿過、但另一個人必須天天面對的破鞋，學習同理他鞋子裡的小石頭與腳臭。這裡不是最後一站，多數人只是在此換車，休息

博客來語言學習類「年度之最」，熱銷10年全新改版！教你掌握讀英文最基本、最重要，卻最多人忽略的觀念：「一個句子只有一個主詞、一個動詞！」觀念正確，就算句子再複雜也能一看就懂！「單字都看得懂，連在一起變成句子就一片混亂！」「看完句子抓不到重點，只好從頭再看一次，花了很多時間！」「想搞清楚句子裡的每個單字和文法，結果讀得很慢，也愈來愈沒興趣！」本書作者黃玟君老師於國立台灣科技大學應用外語系任教多年，時常擔任國高中英語教學研習講師、受邀為企業開設英語進修課程。她觀察到，國人明明學了英文多年，卻還會有上述的困擾，多是出在學習觀念不正確，以至於出現「不斷背單字、卻看不懂句子」的情況。本書的目標就是破解這些英文閱讀困境，從最核心的觀念「一個句子，只有一個主詞、一個動詞」出發，不論句子多長、多複雜，都可以運用這個原則，快速讀懂句子的重點，從此改造你的閱讀力！一個句子只有一個主詞、一個動詞！每個英文句子都只能有一個主詞、一個動詞，其餘內容都是用於修飾、補充的「廣義形容詞」。舉例來說：The girl in a beautiful red dress likes me.The girl wearing a beautiful red dress with a lovely smile likes me.這兩個句子的主詞都是The girl（那個女孩）、動詞是likes（喜歡），雖然兩句各有修飾「女孩」的內容，但重點都是：The girl likes me.（那個女孩喜歡我。）只要找出句子的「主詞 + 動詞」，就已經掌握了句子的意思，閱讀內容再多、句型再變化也不怕！跳躍式閱讀，英文別再逐字看！聰明的讀英文方式，不是由左而右一字一字前進的「線性閱讀」，而是「跳躍式閱讀」──聚焦句子的主詞、動詞，迅速掌握重點。你可以現在試試看：After 10 years on the run, the criminal was apprehended by the police during a routine traffic stop.（逍遙法外十年的罪犯在警方一次例行的交通臨檢中被逮捕。）如果你快速掃過這個句子，能夠一眼看出主詞是the criminal（罪犯）、動詞是was apprehended（被逮捕），就算沒有細讀每個字，也會立刻知道：「有個罪犯被逮捕了！」用這樣的方式熟練跳躍式閱讀，聚焦重

提到德國，你一定知道： ．賓士、BMW、保時捷、愛迪達、RIMOWA行李箱、朗格錶……都是德國品牌； ．哲學家尼采、詩人歌德、音樂家貝多芬和巴哈都出生於德國； ．格林童話故事的故鄉（發源地）在這裡； ．足球隊曾奪得4次世界盃冠軍； ．德國啤酒好喝、豬腳美味、香腸種類超過1500種、做黑森林蛋糕得依照國家標準…… 但你很可能不知道：在英國、法國完成工業革命時，德國還是個農業國， 現在享譽世界的「德國製造」（Made in Germany） 曾是帶有侮辱性的符號， 是什麼原因翻轉了「德國製造」？ 資深媒體人、歐洲深度研究者葉克飛， 多年來走訪德國數次，找到了德國人嚴謹做事卻從不加班的竅門。 ◎對工業的敬畏，成就了德國製造 在德國，組裝一輛保時捷只需9小時，但檢測和測試需5天，出廠則要幾個月； 朗格的鐘錶師至少須學3到7年才可參與製作，每個錶的製作時間最少6個月； 德國刀具的工序起碼四十多道；製作一個行李箱需用兩百多個零件； 就連個小香腸、黑森林蛋糕，也有嚴格的標準和生產流程。 這就是聞名世界的「工匠精神」。怎麼辦到？ 多數德國企業不貸款、不上市，專注於技術， 所以這裡有兩千多個世界級品牌和一千多個世界隱形冠軍 世界上有四個頂級的櫥櫃品牌，全部出自德國， 連英國女王的廚房也只用德國品牌。 ◎不爭一流，卻成為真正一流的人才培養 德國的哲學和科學如此發達，與古老而穩定的大學體系密不可分， 這裡的教育是免費的，對於外國留學生也一樣， 但他們寬進嚴出，申請學校很容易，畢業卻很難。 這裡很少綜合性院校，多數都是應用科學大學， 所以在世界排名上相對吃虧， 但也讓德國理工科大學，成為科技業的長春藤。 一個人口八千萬的國家， 竟有兩千多個世界級品牌和一千多個世界隱形冠軍， 從來不應酬、每天一定準時下班回家吃晚餐的德國人，怎麼辦到？

本書在自然與身體感受性的脈絡下，思考禮儀中的象徵在修身及教化中所扮演的關鍵地位。本書溯源到文化源頭的先秦、兩漢時期，說明自然節氣如何影響身體經驗，在對天道的體察中，從而形構物的象徵與身體隱喻。本書透過秦漢禮儀中象徵的細部分析，說明象徵符號與自我的形構、身心轉化，人我關係定義以及倫理的秩序有密不可分的關係。「象徵」既反映著自然風土與物之質性，同時也反映著不同的地方文化所形成的文化心理及身體經驗。修身與教化的理想在體察自然節氣和風土、透過象徵以調節人情中亦得到實踐。This book investigates the key role of symbolism in self-cultivation and moral education in the context of nature and bodily senses.

The practice of self-cultivation and morality is also in the process of interpreting nature and regulating human sentiments through symbols.

Now a major Netflix film by Jane Camption, starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Kirsten Dunst: Thomas Savage's acclaimed Western is "a pitch-perfect evocation of time and place" (Boston Globe) for fans of East of Eden and Brokeback Mountain.

"Gripping and powerful...A work of literary art." --Annie Proulx, from her afterword
