前言

　　本書與市面上其他寫商務(wù)對話的書不同，書中有八個(gè)固定的角色，這八個(gè)人每天都穿梭于商業(yè)職場，對話講述的就是他們的故事。同時(shí)，與按照特定話題來設(shè)計(jì)安排的枯燥的對話不同，這本書是關(guān)于這八個(gè)人之間以及和他們的上司之間發(fā)生的故事，趣味橫生。這一點(diǎn)書店里的其他書是不具備的。　　特別之處有三：　　第一，本書的作者來自英國，并且擁有多年在中國一流大學(xué)的教學(xué)經(jīng)驗(yàn)。對話中充滿了最時(shí)尚的表達(dá)方式，也就是說，你將會(huì)學(xué)到現(xiàn)在英國人最流行的口語?！　〉诙?，對話中突出強(qiáng)調(diào)了詞組、短語和表達(dá)法。因?yàn)樵谌魏握n文中，無論是口語還是書面語，由二、三、四，甚至是五個(gè)單詞所組成的詞組、短語和表達(dá)法都占據(jù)了主要部分。在我們?nèi)粘５穆犝f讀寫中，固定表達(dá)法的比例可能會(huì)高達(dá)70％，這就是我們的大腦儲(chǔ)存詞匯的方式。意識(shí)到這點(diǎn)很重要，與單個(gè)的單詞相比，我們更傾向于記憶和使用詞組。所以，在學(xué)習(xí)英語時(shí)，不要只記單個(gè)單詞，而應(yīng)該記憶詞組和短語。　　第三，也是最重要的。這些對話緊扣人們的商業(yè)和日常生活，取材來自生活，原汁原味，是日常英語會(huì)話中所必須?！　》浅８兄x我的出版人蔡箐小姐給予我的鼓勵(lì)和幫助。感謝Tori waters-wang為本書貢獻(xiàn)了許多精彩的對話。最后，我還要感謝李楊和趙嬌為本書所作的翻譯以及她們孜孜不倦、精益求精的態(tài)度。
