No sound, no problem！（掩耳盜鈴） Groundless worries （杞人憂天） There are hundreds more of these Chinese idioms (chengyu) that pack a lot of meaning into four characters。 Many of these Chinese idioms originate from historical events，classics，and folklore； they give us valuable insights into Chinese culture，history，and literature。 Aimed at English learners，The Magic Four groups together some of these well-known stories with attitude and behaviour as its theme。 Each story is accompanied with extra learning elements： • The literal and figurative meanings； • A similar idiom/phrase in the English language； • Definitions of useful vocabularies in the story； • Meanings of different idioms/phrases used in the stories and examples。 Not only will you gain insight into Chinese wisdom accumulated for centuries but also learn fun aspects of the English language too！

「不投林白就是選擇戰爭！」預言美國後九一一與川普時代的警鐘之書◆HBO迷你劇集《美國外史》改編原作◆◆《紐約時報》二十一世紀百大選書 #60 ◆◆2005年美國歷史學家協會歷史小說獎得主◆（Society of American Historians Prize for Historical Fiction）在這些所有記憶中，永久盤據的恐懼勝過了一切。當然，沒有人的童年是完全沒有恐懼的，但我總想，如果林白沒有當選總統，或如果我不是猶太人的孩子，會不會少一點恐懼？一九四〇年，時年七歲的男孩菲利普．羅斯，與任保險業務員的父親、家庭主婦的母親及富有藝術天分的哥哥同住在紐華克市的威奎依猶太社區，和樂融融。菲利普受美國最著名的集郵家羅斯福總統啟發，從小熱中集郵，最大的願望就是收集到人人稱羨不已的夢幻郵票。一切都在林白上台後改變。羅斯福在總統大選中慘敗給這位年輕氣盛的傳奇飛行英雄，退隱故居；林白則與阿道夫．希特勒及軸心國結盟，誓言不讓這個偉大的國家捲入世界大戰，以此捍衛美國的核心價值。劇變衝擊了羅斯一家，在一次目睹父親崩潰嚎哭之後，菲利普知道快樂的童年一去不返，從今以後只剩恐懼。這裡，從來不是他的國家。美國當代名家菲利普．羅斯遊走虛實之間，以其尖銳筆鋒重返二戰時空，從「可能的美國」當中思及美國浩瀚、多樣性的複雜面貌。◆聯合推薦黃崇凱 小說家蔡易澄 作家顏擇雅 出版人、作家◆各界推薦「菲利普．羅斯再次出版了一本你必須一讀的小說，現在就讀……出色的傑作。」——《基督科學箴言報》（The Christian Science Monitor）「這不是預言，而是夢魘；隨著故事推進，夢魘越來越可怕，同時也變得越來越可笑、越來越詭異……迂迴而又高明的作品。」——《紐約客》（The New Yorker）「貼身觀察到各個角色陷入了社會上最深沉、最苦澀的壓力當中，會是如何……這本書就是最高明的折磨手段，讓人無法放下。」——《新聞週刊》（Newsweek）「（羅斯的聲音）從未如此細膩……精雕細琢地如此美麗……一名小說家在這四十五年來一直不斷改造自己，而《反美陰謀》就是最為出色的作品。」——《波士頓全球報》（The Boston Globe）「傑出之作……羅斯的文筆優美而有力，旋繞著、起舞著、憤怒著……似乎從來沒有如此精確而明朗。」——《沃斯堡星報》（Fort Worth Star-Telegram

書籍介紹本書內容完整涵蓋「社會研究法」、「社會研究方法」、「社會工作研究方法」、「社會調查與研究」等名稱相異、內容雷同之試題，堪為坊間唯一收錄試題適用對象最完整之考試用書。其篇幅精巧，難易適中，極適合國考的考生研習、鑑往知來。本書特色如下：一、定義周延、中英對照本書所涉及的專業術語，一律給予周延而嚴謹的概念定義，全力杜絕望文生義的直覺。此外，重要概念均標示英文以避免多種譯名的誤解，並竭力註記所有的中文譯名，以供對照。最後，在每章末更對歷年相關名詞解釋做詳解，以消除任何留下想像空間的模糊地帶。二、圖表定位、全書導航本書依據Walter Wallace所提出的科學之輪（the wheel of science），強制貫穿各個看似分崩離析的章節，並在每章開頭標示個別章節在整體圖像上的定位，以讓讀者建立統整的理解，沒有任何遺世獨立的片段。三、標題一貫、平行比較本書以直角座標系的精神強制貫穿所有章節，把一切頑強的不可共量性都暴露在放射線下，透明評比，讓讀者在研讀時能逐章過關斬將。四、事例齊備、活學活用各章中，以對稱且齊備的方式安排每一環節的應用事例。相較於一般教科書較為艱難與駁雜的事例，本書為幫助考試而生，自然應安排簡短、切題且不會留有額外想像空間的範例，尤其在社會統計部分，生硬的公式最需搭配簡要事例的解說，本書為此提供最有效率的認知捷徑。五、試題索引、鉅細靡遺本書以多種方式將試題融入學習當中。首先，在各章內文標記過往出題紀錄；其次，在各章末尾收錄相關之選擇題、申論題及名詞解釋題（來自所有科別之試題），進行破題指導與解析。六、歷屆試題、鑒往知來書末蒐納至113年試題，期能幫助讀者瞭解命題核心及掌握趨勢。

This commentary on the Analects will bring you back in time to meet the Sage whose teachings on benevolence and integrity are deeply infused within the Chinese culture。 Confucius’ students included political advisors，military strategists，educators，businessmen，philosophers，warlords，and kings。 How could he possibly teach his way so calmly and gracefully through states and kingdoms of hegemons vying for regional power？ Who was this man！？ This is a book by two masters，one ancient and one contemporary，both enigmatic。 The lives of Confucius and Master Nan Huai-Chin (Nan Huaijin)，in many ways，parallel each other。 Both lived through tumultuous times，both had to leave their home state and wander only to return in old age to their birthplace。 They were teachers，learned in many fields and arts and in life itself，but not scholars in the traditional sense；rather，they were masters of all they engaged in。 They had students from all walks of life，were advisors of statesmen of all ranks and were flan

FOREWORDAt the beginning of 2024, I was invited to contribute to a project focused on women who engage in futures thinking and foresight. As a cornerstone of the project, a seminarwas planned to celebrateInternational Women’s Day. In preparation for the event, a vibrant exchange unfolded in a WhatsApp group. Participants, including myself, posed questions, suggested sessions, and explored shared concerns and interests. The following were some of the questions raised:• Why do so many people, who agree with the principles of feminism, hesitate to identify themselves as feminists?• What does feminism signify in 2024?• How should we define it?• Can individuals of genders other than women be feminists?• Is feminism still relevant, or is it considered passé?• Does the concept of feminism require rebranding?• Should we discuss feminism in the singular or feminismS in the plural?• Are we now closer to achieving the central feminist vision of an equitable

甜美的愛文的天鵝！一道多麼亮麗的景致照見你在水波上現身，在泰晤士河岸翻飛……──本．瓊生　Sweet Swan of Avon! what a sight it wereTo see thee in our waters yet appear,And make those flights upon the banks of Thames...— Ben Jonson 「知人論世」是重要的文學鑑賞方法。傅正明的新作《愛文的天鵝：誰是真正的莎士比亞？德維爾筆名背後的秘辛》，在歐洲文藝復興時期多種文化背景中，力求多角度評論偉大劇作家和詩人威廉．莎士比亞的歷史意義及其屬於一切時代的現實意義。在莎士比亞著作權的爭議中，著者推重「牛津派」（The Oxfordian theory），即以愛德華．德維爾，十七世牛津伯爵（Edward de Vere，17th Earl of Oxford）為莎士比亞全部作品的真實作者。除了引證德維爾的傳記史料和早期作品以外，本書作者兼用美學、政治、文化和宗教的鑰匙和佛學禪宗的視角來解讀莎士比亞之謎，分析滲透在莎劇和詩歌中以天鵝為象徵的「愛」（love）的多義性及其精神昇華。 本書是中文領域第一本簡明德維爾文學評傳和莎士比亞作品的學術研究專著。　About the Book The explication of “understanding the authors and discussing their times” is an important method of literary criticism. From multiple perspectives and on the various cultural backgrounds in the European Renaissance period, this book entitled Swan of Avon attempts to comment on the historical and contemporary significance of the great playwright and poet William Shakespeare who is for all ages.

The GNH ideology of Bhutan acts as a catalyst for happiness, challenging the dominant paradigm of economic development as the sole metric of progress and prompting individuals to reassess the true essence of happiness in life. It calls upon governments to integrate happiness into policy planning. We believe that Bhutan's Gross National Happiness concept is not only relevant to Bhutan but also serves as an important reference for every country and the entire world to pursue happiness and well-being.Moving ahead, there is anticipation that alongside national happiness indices, a collective "Gross Earth Happiness" index could emerge, enhancing the overall well-being of humanity and nurturing a more harmonious cosmic civilization within the galaxy!不丹的GNH思想，宛如幸福的火種，改變人類以經濟為發展單一量尺的價值觀，啟發人們重新省思生命的幸福，促使政府將幸福納入政策規劃。我們認為不丹的國家幸福力思想，不只針對不丹，更能作為世界上的每一個國家及全體地球創發幸福的重要參考。期待在未來，除了各國的幸福力，更能成全地球加總的「地球幸福力」，形成整體文明的幸福指數，在銀河中創造更美好的宇宙文明！
