Preface
Hi, there. Welcome to the fascinating world of slang / idioms. Come on in, sit down and make yourself comfortable. Let’s chat a bit before you start expanding your vocabulary. After all, there are hundreds of slang and idioms in this book, so you’ll be here for a while.
Allow me to introduce myself a little. I’m Brian (I guess you already knew that from the front cover, huh?). I’ve been an ESL teacher in Taiwan for more than a decade and a professional writer for much longer than that.
If I may, I’d like to make a few assumptions about you:
You’re not a complete beginner
You’re right; it doesn’t take a genius to figure that out. Wait, there’s more.
You’ve got a keen curiosity about the English language
Otherwise, you’d be at home watching TV, playing video games or doing some other fun activity that doesn’t require so much mental energy.
You realize that slang / idioms are a key part of a language
You know that by taking the time to learn this colorful and somewhat mysterious vocabulary, you’ll be opening up a new universe of understanding and communication for yourself.
There’s no doubt about it – learning how to use slang / idioms is a challenge, especially if one is no longer a teenager. Our ability to pick up another language diminishes as we age, making each new word and phrase more and more difficult to remember as the years go by. As with any difficult feat, it’s important to equip yourself with the right tools. That’s where this book comes in. This book is like your hiking boots, your map, flashlight and guidebook, and I’m your personal tour guide through the world of slang / idioms.
I want to briefly tell you about the format of the book, and how I believe it will help you learn and remember the expressions.
First, there is a clear explanation of the precise meanings of the slang / idioms in Chinese. That means you’ll be absolutely certain of the definitions of the phrases (the problem with slang / idioms is you usually can’t figure them out just by analyzing each individual word, so someone has to specifically tell you the exact definitions).
Second, the origins of the slang / idioms are presented. Not only is this information quite interesting and, often, fun to know, it helps you remember the slang / idioms.
Third, the slang / idioms are used in sample sentences and conversational formats, providing contexts and examples of how to use them.
Finally, synonyms for the expressions are provided, which further helps to enlarge your vocabulary.
OK, I think that’s enough for now. You’re ready to embark with me along an enjoyable journey of language learning. Don’t forget to review the phrases that you learn from time to time (new vocabulary has a nasty habit of slipping out of your brain unless you practice it several times).
Trust me: if you stick with it and continue traveling along this road, you’ll find the trip most enlightening and rewarding!
作者序
嗨，大家好。欢迎来到俚语 / 常用语的美妙世界。快点进来吧，坐着、让自己感到舒服。在你开始扩充自己的字汇时，我们先来聊一下。毕竟，这本书里有几百个俚语和常用语，你要花好一阵子来学习呢。
让我先简单地介绍我自己。我叫柏莱恩（我想看封面你又知道这点了吧？）。我在台湾担任 ESL 教师已经超过 10 年了，从事职业写作的时间更是远远超过教学。
关于你（读者），如果可以的话，我想做一些假设：
●你并非全然的初学者
你想得没错：不用多聪明就可以做出这个假设。等等，还有还有。
●你对英语有非常强烈的好奇心
否则，你就会坐在家里看电视、打电动，或做些不用太多脑力的有趣活动。
●你知道俚语 / 常用语是英语的重要部分
你知道花时间学这些活泼、有点奇妙的字汇，你将可以为自己开起一个理解与沟通的世界。
无庸置疑地，学习如何使用俚语 / 常用语是个挑战，特别当你已不是青少年的时候。我们学习其他语言的能力随着年纪增长而消退，让每个新单字、片语越来越难记住。就像完成任何困难事蹟一样，让自己配备正确的工具是很重要的。这就是为什么会有这本书的诞生。这本书就像是你的登山靴、地图、手电筒和指南，而我就是你在俚语 / 常用语世界里的个人导游。
我想简短地告诉你这本书的形式，和我相信本书能够如何帮助你学习记住这些用语。
首先，这些俚语 / 常用语都有详尽清楚的中文解释。也就是说你能完全了解这些俚语 / 常用语的定义（俚语 / 常用语的问题就是，你通常无法仅靠每个单独的字的意思而了解整句的意义，所以就要靠别人来明确说明正确的定义）。
第二，提供俚语 / 常用语的起源。这些资讯不只是很有趣，而且，常常可以帮助你记住这些常用语。
第三，这些俚语 / 常用语实际运用在例句、会话形式，用前后文与范例呈现
