哎喲！日本人為什麼要這樣講話……你學的正規日語，其實日本人自己也不大懂？📱　智慧型手機的輸入法太聰明了，讓日本人連字都拼錯、唸錯。是要用敬語還是謙讓語，連母語者也不清楚？🔊　義正詞嚴地發表容易讓人誤會的話，日本人要說的到底是啥？日本人會發明「顏文字」是因為日語太曖昧、意思好模糊？對漢字圈的人來說，日語還可以猜，但洋人老外又該怎麼辦？✏ 猜猜看以下，翻譯成日語會是什麼？tableに、redいwineのglassが、twoつ。autumnのsunざしにshineめいて、とてもbeautifulしい。さあ、drinkもう、eatべよう。【本書特色】在語言學校裡學了很多日語規則，但是實際上似乎不是這麼一回事 !?公文看不懂，敬語＆謙讓語太難；原版漫畫好好笑，但笑點在哪裡啊？「大間違い」和「お間違い」哪個是正確的？那「お門違い」呢？五段動詞變化是大魔王、好難？但老師卻說它很簡單、又嚴整……👨　歪國人才懂 ── in日語教室裡的學習關卡👱　30年經驗談 ── 教授老外日語的獨特笑料原來「啊─啊─」和「啊、啊、」「啊──」意思全都不同（別想歪）；漫畫裡「欸～」和「欸欸」、「嗯～」和「嗯嗯」也有模糊的約定成俗。本書是外國學習者在課堂上會遇到的疑惑與趣味（吼~日本人為什麼要醬?）；有些特殊現象，經日語老師說明、真正理解後，日語程度就能快速進階～學習卡關了嗎？關於敬語、人物對話……竟連日本人都會搞錯？趕緊來看３０年資深經驗的日語老師，分享課後的教學真心話！日語真的好難？老師的補充說明，可能和你想的不一樣喔……

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
