　　這幾年寫了這麼多英文書，嘗試了多種學習方法，總覺得還少了點什麼。有次佳燕來美國找我時，談到近來學生雖然比較敢講英文，但在單字、時態和場合的運用上總是容易混淆不清，用語也不夠貼近現代外國人的用法

　　簡單來說就是不夠生活化。頓時腦中便浮現一個念頭：何不出幾本專門介紹生活化英文的書呢？於是「最易混淆的動詞」、「最常使用的短句」、「最易犯錯的句子」、「最常使用的單字」和「最不冷場的會話」便應運而生。

　　生活英文是由無數個單字所組成，一般大眾所認定的單字都是以名詞、形容詞為主；動詞因為有時態變化，很容易被歸到文法的範圍內。

　　不過我個人以為，動詞反而是串聯英文會話的關鍵；尤其不能只以學文法的方式學動詞，這樣會讓動詞的用法變得枯燥無味！

　　學英文動詞的概念，除了時態變化外，其實和中文動詞相似。我從以下三個步驟來說明：

　　1.想一想：先把各種意思做個分類。例如，「說話」的動詞有什麼？中文有講話、演說、告訴…等，英文也有talk, speak, tell…。把彼此的解釋連連看，就會發現其實是相通的。

　　2.看一看：看完本書的分類和解釋後，看看自己之前使用動詞的方法是否正確。

　　3.試一試：試著把學會的動詞拿來用。每個單元後面都有附三分鐘練習題。除此之外，也可以試著跟外國朋友聊天或msn，試試看你是否都學會正確的用法了。

　　很感謝我識出版社又再次給我「嘗新」的機會，讓我跟佳燕的構想得以實現。也多虧蔣先生和毓芳提出「隨身讀」的概念，讀者們才得以見到今日小巧可愛的小書樣貌。

　　Some people may study English because they have to, for example because of school or work, while others may do so due to personal interest. Whichever the case, in order to study English efficiently, the right methods and proper motivation are a must. When I was young, I studied English in order to pass tests, never realizing the fun involved or the necessity of understanding English. Even though my grades were outstanding, and I picked up a lot of vocabulary along the way, a foreigner looking for directions would be better off asking a tree than asking me! Since then, my attitude has changed dramatically and I want to share the joy of learning English with you.

　　This book focuses on the many uses of verbs, both in everyday conversations and also in more formal situations such as discussions, meetings and conferences. For those whose native language is Chinese such as myself, you may come across words that mean similar things, but are used completely differently. For example, while predict, forecast, foresee, expect, are four words which have similar meanings, forecast is usually related to explaining weather, while foresee is more often used in the context of fortune telling.

　　When you begin to understand the difference between the subtle differences in the use of these verbs, your English will have unknowingly improved beyond your expectations. In turn, you will be more able than ever before, to express yourself with greater depth and accuracy.
