Book excerpt: worth & worthy 是什麼在「值得」? skinny, slim & thin 都是瘦,到底怎麼「瘦」呢? bite & sting 是被蜜蜂「叮」還是被蚊子「咬」? hope & wish 哪一種「希望」會成真? say, speak, talk & tell「說說看」哪裡不一樣? arrive, come & reach 「到達」怎麼用才對? 傻傻分不清的這些字,很常用錯場合而造成語義不清! 6大分類總整理,讓你不再用錯字、會錯意! 1. 拼法相似字比一比 2. 近義字程度比一比 3. 特定單字不混淆 4. 說話者語氣比一比 5. 中英翻譯比一比 6. 正確用法不混淆 精準用字不出錯,英語溝通更順暢! 生活中有一些看似簡單的用字大家都會,但如何用的精準呢? 來看看以下兩個情境:①進到公司看到兩個同事在「談話」,跟他們「說」早安後,他們跟我「講」了個笑話。要用talk、say 還是tell 呢?②我們放學「後」約在公園「後面」打籃球如何?要用after 還是behind。除了上面這兩個情境之外,有些你本來就會的單字卻可能在對話的當下說錯,例如你知道「空的」是empty,但如果把空白處(blank space)說成empty space 就會鬧笑話了。因此精準的用字,不僅可以讓溝通更順暢,也更貼近所要表達的意思。 收錄最常用的英語混淆字彙,讓你不再用錯字、會錯意! 本書收錄240 組英語學習者最常搞混的易混淆字,為了方便讀者學習,各組易混淆字依照單字的使用方式分為:「拼法相似字比一比」、「近義字程度比一比」、「特定單字不混淆」、「說話者語氣比一比」、「中英翻譯比一比」及「正確用法不混淆」等六個Section。 每組字都是以表格方式編排,目的是讓讀者可以一目了然單字的比較,搭配使用情境和用法小提醒,清楚易懂。表格下方的例句特別把各組混淆字和對照的中譯做套色處理,讓讀者一看就能明白該組字彙的相異之處。如果遇有特殊片語或句型時還會另外標示做解釋,加強對句意的理解。另外,針對主題內容還會適時補充延伸學習,例如在cap & hat 單元除了介紹兩個字的不同,還補充其他常見的帽子說法,搭配圖像學習可加強單字記憶。而每個Section 後附加的測驗題,有三種不同的題型讓讀者測試自己的學習能力。最後,書末還附上單字索引,方便讀者查詢想了解的單字。 目錄介紹 Section 1 Affixes 拼法相似字比一比 1. alike & like 哪裡「像」?

Book Clothes    and other things that matter

Download or read book Clothes and other things that matter written by Alexandra Shulman and published by Cassell. This book was released on 2020-04-23 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'Clothes is the perfect isolation read - clever, emotionally intelligent, revelling in style without making us yearn to shop' - Hannah Betts, The Times 'Self-deprecating and stylish, this is sure to become a classic.' - Vanity Fair 'A life beyond Moss, mwahs and Manolo Blahniks - by the fashionista that really knows [...] a wry and candid part-memoir, part-fashion history, part-social commentary.' - Mail on Sunday Chosen as 'book of the week' by the Observer: 'It might just be the perfect lockdown pick-me-up' 'Shulman can craft a good story and has an eye for great pictures [...] it will make perfect lockdown reading, an opportunity to shut out the real world and meander through the Arcadian years of fashion.' - The Sunday Times 'She has written about her clothes, and given us some scintillating reading. [...] hugely engaging memoir.' - Emily Bearn, The Spectator 'I really loved this book - it's warm, thought-provoking and honest. In the end, I had to ration myself because I didn't want to finish. In these frankly strange times it was wonderful and comforting.' - Victoria Hislop 'I loved this book. It's great company and a Corona comfort. [She] has made me feel so much better about owning too many clothes. Instead of doing a ruthless edit I find myself curating my own private exhibition - inside my wardrobe hang not just clothes, not just stories but my own autobiography.' - Helena Bonham Carter 'From the hat that went to a Royal wedding to a life-changing bathrobe, Alexandra Shulman tells her life story in clothes ... in her hotly anticipated memoir' -You magazine 'Such a great read - so open and honest and funny. I devoured it in one sitting.' - Kirsty Wark Chosen by Evening Standard as one of the books to look forward to in 2020 Chosen by Stylist as one of 2020's best non-fiction books In Clothes... and other things that matter, Alexandra Shulman delves into her own life to look at the emotions, ambitions, expectations and meanings behind the way we dress. From the bra to the bikini, the trench coat to trainers, she explores their meaning in women's lives and how our wardrobes intersect with the larger world - the career ladder, motherhood, romance, sexual identity, ambition, failure, body image and celebrity. By turns funny, refreshingly self-deprecating and often very moving, this startlingly honest memoir from the ex-Editor of British Vogue will encourage women of all ages to consider what their own clothes mean to them, the life they live in them and the stories they tell.

Book Arab Dress  A Short History

Download or read book Arab Dress A Short History written by Norman Stillman and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2022-06-08 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This richly illustrated volume is a historical and ethnographic study of one important aspect of Arab and Islamic material culture - clothing. While in part descriptive, its principal focus is on the evolution and transformations of modes of dress over the past 1400 years throughout the Middle East, North Africa, and for the Middle Ages, Islamic Spain. Arab clothing is treated as part of an Islamic vestimentary system and is discussed within the context of the social, religious, esthetic, and political trends of each age. In addition to the five historical chapters, three chapters are devoted to major themes of Arab costume history - the dress code for non-Muslims, the important socio-economic and political institution of luxury fabrics and garments of honor, and the most well-known and frequently misunderstood institution of veiling.

Book excerpt: "CINDERELLA'S DRESS was like a stroll through the 1940's with a magical twist and a sprinkling of fashion. Highly recommend for all in need of a happily ever after." On the home front in 1944, Kate wants to do her part for the war effort. She'd prefer filling in for the window dressers at the New York department store where she works, but her mother insists on sending her to audition for roles she never gets. When relatives arrive from war-torn Poland with a mysterious steamer trunk and an even more mysterious story, her life is about to hit center stage. Kate's elderly aunt claims she is the keeper of the wardrobe for Cinderella's family--the real Cinderella. Her responsibility is to keep the dress safe and now she wants Kate's help. But the war has taken a toll on Kate's aunt and nothing is as it seems. While navigating family and first love, Kate will have to uncover layers of family secrets as her own secrets stack up. Will she get to the truth before it's forgotten? If you like the magic and warmth of fairytale retellings, then you'll love this continuation of the Cinderella story. Start reading today.
