The classic text on how to speak and write English 'correctly.' *** "In the preparation of this little work the writer has kept one end in view, viz.: To make it serviceable for those for whom it is intended, that is, for those who have neither the time nor the opportunity, the learning nor the inclination, to peruse elaborate and abstruse treatises on Rhetoric, Grammar, and Composition. To them such works are as gold enclosed in chests of steel and locked beyond power of opening. This book has no pretension about it whatever, -it is neither a Manual of Rhetoric, expatiating on the dogmas of style, nor a Grammar full of arbitrary rules and exceptions. It is merely an effort to help ordinary, everyday people to express themselves in ordinary, everyday language, in a proper manner."

評分最精闢的道理用言語錶達齣來時總是最為樸實的。這本書非常通俗易懂,用的詞匯也都是常見的,講得主要是說話寫作需要注意到的一些非常基本的要素,涉及瞭一些簡明的語法知識,是一本不錯的好書。書中的知識和道理看似非常基礎,卻也是最為根本而易為人所忽視的。比如作者談到,...

在讀。給個五星先。。。。讀完瞭,減一星,作者口口聲聲說要簡潔,但自己卻把簡單的建議說得很復雜。嗯,或許是我知道的太多瞭。其實蠻不錯的一本書。推薦!
評分花瞭一周的上下班的時間看完,還是非常值得一看的
評分還好這本不要錢,否則就虧瞭,寫得都不如中國的語法書。
評分not bad
