作者簡介
比爾‧布萊森(Bill Bryson)
1951年出生在美國愛荷華州首府第蒙市(Des Moines),年輕歲月也在該地度過,成年後多半時間住在英國。曾任職於《波茅斯夜報》(Bournemouth Evening Echo)、《金融週報》(Financial Weekly)與《泰晤士報》,並為《獨立報》創刊記者之一。著作包括《布萊森之英語簡史》(Mother Tongue)、《布萊森之英文超正典》(Byrson's Dictionary of Troublesome Words),以及《一腳踩進小美國》、《歐洲在發酵》、《哈!小不列顛》、《別跟山過不去》、《請問這裡是美國嗎?》、《澳洲烤焦了》等旅遊作品,和科普作品《萬物簡史》。目前和妻子及四個小孩住在英國諾福克(Norfolk)。
As usual Bill Bryson says it best: "English is a dazzlingly idiosyncratic tongue, full of quirks and irregularities that often seem willfully at odds with logic and common sense. This is a language where 'cleave' can mean to cut in half or to hold two halves together; where the simple word 'set' has 126 different meanings as a verb, 58 as a noun, and 10 as a participial adjective; where if you can run fast you are moving swiftly; but if you are stuck fast you are not moving at all; [and] where 'colonel,' 'freight,' 'once,' and 'ache' are strikingly at odds with their spellings." As a copy editor for the London Times in the early 198Os, Bill Bryson felt keenly the lack of an easy-to-consult, authoritative guide to avoiding the traps and snares in English, and so he brashly suggested to a publisher that he should write one. Surprisingly; the proposition was accepted, and for "a sum of money carefully gauged not to cause embarrassment or feelings of overworth," he proceeded to write that book - his first, inaugurating his stellar career.
