引領搭配詞運用潮流、各界爭相學習仿效的，「搭配詞的力量」系列，再次出擊！本次《搭配詞的力量Collocations：名詞篇 全新升級版》，特別加錄美式英語錄音，讓你眼耳鼻舌心，全面學習搭配詞，改變一生的學習觀念，不再年年學英文，年年從頭學！◆什麼是搭配詞？什麼時候會用到搭配詞？ 你知道嗎？中文說「恢復某人記憶」時，英文用「refresh one’s memory」來表示；而中文的「活化經濟」，英文母語人士常說「invigorate economy」；中文的「燙手山芋」，英文使用「a pain in the neck」。 上述這樣一個「單字」加上「慣用法」所形成的固定詞組，我們統稱為「搭配詞」，如果搭配詞太少，使用英文容易語塞或出現「台式英文」。◆搭配詞如何給你力量？為何搭配詞那麼重要呢？ 在學習英文的道路上，你曾遇過以下困擾嗎？ 想要講一句話，但是語塞講不出來，因為「不知道要用什麼字表達心中所想的東西」。 有時會覺得自己的英文看似「字字是英文」，但其實「句句不是英文」，不知如何道地、精準地使用英文。　知道的單字不少，但是真的用出來的總是那些。 如果以上問題你都感同身受，代表你非常需要這本書！ 有了搭配詞，你不會再害怕開口說英文，說英文就像是呼吸一樣自然；出國在外，跟外國人交談再也不用支支吾吾，很順利地就能講出流利的句子。這，就是搭配詞的力量。 有別於一般搭配詞辭典過度厚重、資訊繁多、不適合學習者研讀，本書系統性地整理出台灣人最需要的搭配詞用法，從此擺脫「字字是英文，句句非英文」！◆台式英文OUT！搭配詞改變你學英文的習慣！ 本書是搭配詞的名詞篇，以詞彙的開頭字母分類，分成A～U，每個名詞詞彙又囊括了以下架構：1. 搭配詞 當名詞前後加上了動詞、形容詞及慣用法，就形成了一個固定詞組，也就是搭配詞。學會了搭配詞，英文自然脫口而出，不再東拼西湊出錯誤的句子。 例： Belief 信念、看法 Adj. + belief firm belief 堅定的信念 unshakable / unwavering belief 不可動搖的信念 widely held belief 普遍看法 V. + belief hold belief 抱持信念 adhere to / cling to
