《English Stylebook 英文寫作的法則》修訂版文章力強不強，就藏在寫作的細節裡！！舉例來說，用錯一個標點符號，可能就會被母語人士或長官誤解！本書精選出317條英文寫作必備規則，讓你寫作時直接查找、馬上套用，寫出上司激賞、教授驚艷、連AI也取代不了的超完美文章！.本書適用於各個場合，顯示英語程度、提升好感度，英文學習愛好者、英語文字工作者、譯者......必備工具書！ 有些人的英語非常流利，在與外國人交談時都能對答如流，然而在寫作時常常被圈出錯誤、通篇需要修改，文章中有很多不會注意到的小錯誤，這些都是非母語者時常碰到的情況，這是因為大多數英語學習者在聽力、閱讀、口說能力都會下很大的功夫去精進，但是寫作能力卻是大家都會忽略的部分。 透過本書，學習者可以學習到各種平時學校不會仔細教、自己也不會注意到的寫作小細節，包含英文拼字、標點和特殊符號、各種數字、文體的正確寫法，讓你的文章不僅在文法上很通順，連閱讀時都會讓人感到舒服，進而讓人認同你的英語程度是菁英等級，讓教授和長官都對你刮目相看，連AI都挑不出錯誤。【本書特色】認識道地英語的基本規則 本書介紹寫出道地英文必須注意的317項基本規則，以拼字及標點及特殊符號、數字為主，著重於使用英語時需要特別留意的部分來說明，請看以下兩個例子就可以知道寫作時非常細微的差異，在句意上會有什麼樣的變化：☆ 為什麼要謹慎使用逗號呢？ 小小的逗號，為什麼會讓一個句子創造出不同的語意呢？我們來看 (a)、(b) 這兩個例句(a) John didn’t die happily.(b) John didn’t die, happily. 從這兩個句子來看，(a) 句代表 John 過世時並不快樂；而 (b) 句則代表很愉快地，John 並沒有過世。我們可以從這兩種句子看出來，這兩個句子只差了一個逗號，意思就完全相反。在寫作時，如果可以注意到這些小細節，將會把寫作帶到更高的層級，也能讓你想要表達的意思更加清晰。★ 為什麼表示強調時要使用斜體？(1) It is wrong.(2) It is wrong.（這句將 it改成斜體） 從這兩個句子來看，(1) 句只是普通的表達法，表示 It 所代表的事物是錯誤的；(2) 句將It 用斜體呈現，強調 It 這個詞彙，指錯的是那件事，而非其他事物。因此，在寫作時如果想要特別強調某個事
