想在職場上自在使用英語溝通,關鍵不在字彙量多寡,在於活用字彙的能力!
本書收錄:最常使用的1,000個商用英文字彙、近10,000個相關搭配詞組及實用商務情境例句。
一開口說英文就語塞?腦子裡有幾十幾百個英文單字飛來轉去,但當下卻不知道該用哪個字才好?作者希望能讓害怕說英文、寫英文,或苦惱於該用哪個單字來表達語意的讀者們,都能透過此書找到最適的英文說法。《1000 Essential Words for Business English》羅列了1,000個職場中最常使用的商業英文單字,搭配多個應用詞組構成實用例句,不僅能讓讀者懂得怎麼用,更幫助讀者了解如何才能應用的更好!
以 opinion「意見」這個大家熟知的字為例,應該要用什麼樣的動詞來搭配它比較適合呢?例如have an opinion「有意見」、express an opinion「表達意見」,或是voice an opinion「說出意見」,但當你對著native speaker說say an opinion時就顯得不自然了。所以連帶學會這些相關搭配詞組(collocation),你才能真正活用 opinion這個字。用這樣的方式學習英文,才能將你已知的字彙發揮最大效用!
