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
