你用的英文絕對精準嗎？文法沒錯、對方聽懂、能溝通就沒問題了嗎？也許對方只是對你客氣，而你已經冒犯了他而不自知！舉例來說：「簡單問一下」是simple question 還是 quick question？只差一個字，造成的意義、結果可能完全不同！說英文不難，難的是用得精準又恰到好處！透過日常對話情境比較與分析各種英文常用字彙與表達方式，告訴你如何精確用字、避免誤會、得體有禮的使用英文！★ 「符合文法、沒有錯誤」的英文句子，問題出在哪裡？ 學英文學了十幾年，文法學會了、字彙量也夠，為什麼面對外國人還是常常覺得溝通不良？這是因為你沒有隨著不同情境，選用恰當的字彙與表達方式，讓你的用字遣詞和表達方式都不夠精準，若沒有當下確認對方是否正確理解自己想表達的意思，不僅容易溝通失敗、造成誤會，也會讓對方對你留下糟糕的印象。舉個例子：“Can I ask you a simple question?”‧你以為的意思 → 我可以「簡單問個問題」嗎？‧真正的意思 → 我可以問個「簡單到連三歲小孩都會，不是只有你才能回答」的問題嗎？聽在英文母語者的耳裡，可能會產生「如果是這麼簡單的問題，你何必非要問我？」的感受。其實你該說的是：“Can I ask you a quick question?”，只要換一個字，聽起來的感受就完全不一樣了！ 除了告訴你正確的說法，本書也會一併說明另一表達方式可以用在哪裡，像這裡的 “a simple question” 就常用在「追問某事」的情境之中：Do you love me or not? It’s a simple question!→ 你愛不愛我？這問題這麼簡單，你立刻回答我！ simple 和 quick 都是非常基本的單字，用在這裡也都符合文法，聽在對方耳裡的意思卻大不相同，只要把握這種微妙差異，就能精準使用英文，避免誤解和失禮！★ 當有人說：「你的英文好 blunt！」，這到底是稱讚還是批評呢？ 如果去查字典，blunt 的中文字義是「直率的；直截了當的」，所以可能會誤以為這是在稱讚你說話直爽，不過 blunt 這個字的意思其實是 “saying what you think without trying to be polite or considering other people’s feelings”，也就是「不禮貌或是不考慮

William LaFleur (1936-2010), an eminent scholar of Japanese studies, left behind a substantial number of influential publications, as well as several unpublished works. The most significant of these examines debates concerning the practice of organ transplantation in Japan and the United States, and is published here for the first time.This provocative book challenges the North American medical and bioethical consensus that considers the transplantation of organs from brain dead donors as an unalloyed good. It joins a growing chorus of voices that question the assumption that brain death can be equated facilely with death. It provides a deep investigation of debates in Japan, introducing numerous Japanese bioethicists whose work has never been treated in English. It also provides a history of similar debates in the United States, problematizing the commonly held view that the American public was quick and eager to accept the redefinition of death.A work of intellectual and social histo

How ecological design emerged in Scandinavia during the 1960s and 1970s, building on both Scandinavia’s design culture and its environmental movement.Scandinavia is famous for its design culture, and for its pioneering efforts toward a sustainable future. In Ecological by Design, Kjetil Fallan shows how these two forces came together in the late 1960s and early 1970s, when Scandinavian designers began to question the endless cycle in which designed objects are produced, consumed, discarded, and replaced in quick succession. The emergence of ecological design in Scandinavia at the height of the popular environmental movement, Fallan suggests, illuminates a little-known reciprocity between environmentalism and design: not only did design play a role in the rise of modern environmentalism, but ecological thinking influenced the transformation in design culture in Scandinavia and beyond that began as the modernist faith in progress and prosperity waned. Fallan describes the efforts of Scan
