Idioms成語、metaphors隱喻和similes比喻就像是語言的彩虹，為我們的說話和寫作增添了許多色彩。它們不僅是英語的一部分，更是表達情感和想法的有趣方式。 Idioms成語是英語的精華，能夠幫助我們準確地表達自己的想法和感受。例如，當你完美地表達了一個主意，別人就會說你"hit the nail on the head" 「一針見血」，這就是成語的力量，它讓我們的語言更加生動、精確。 Metaphors隱喻和比喻則是英語中的寶藏，它們讓我們的想法更加豐富、有趣，也讓我們的表達更生動。比如，當我們說"time is a thief"「時間是一個偷竊者」，就像是說時間偷走了一些寶貴的東西。 而Similes比喻則是美妙的比較，它用一個事物來形容另一個事物，讓我們更容易理解。舉個例子，當我們說某人 "bright as the sun"「如同陽光般燦爛」 ，就像是在說她帶給了我們無盡的歡樂和溫暖。 通過這本書，我們將一起來探索這些有趣的英語表達方式，並學會如何巧妙地使用它們。無論是在課堂上還是日常生活中，這些語言小技巧都將成為你們表達的寶貴工具。讓我們一起來發現語言的樂趣，並用它們來豐富我們的學習吧！

Each metaphor is explained in the following way: 1. The most common version of the metaphor, and its meaning. 2. Examples of the metaphor in use by English speakers. 3. Questions and discussion points. 4. Other forms and further information Each example is taken from a corpus of natural, authentic English used by native speakers. Sources include newspapers and magazines, blogs and journals, and more. So, are you a chicken (p.11) or a black sheep (p. 20) ? Was it a false start (p.27) or a slam dunk (p.35)? The ball's in your court (p.24) ! Don't be gloomy (p. 59), keep a cool head (p.44)! Learn all 70 of these natural English metaphors and increase your English skills to native-like ability.

This book examines how people understand utterances that are intended figuratively. Traditionally, figurative language such as metaphors and idioms has been considered derivative from more complex than ostensibly straightforward literal language. Glucksberg argues that figurative language involves the same kinds of linguistic and pragmatic operations that are used for ordinary, literal language. Glucksberg's research in this book is concerned with ordinary language: expressions that are used in daily life, including conversations about everyday matters, newspaper and magazine articles, and the media. Metaphor is the major focus of the book. Idioms, however, are also treated comprehensively, as is the theory of conceptual metaphor in the context of how people understand both conventional and novel figurative expressions. A new theory of metaphor comprehension is put forward, and evaluated with respect to competing theories in linguistics and in psychology. The central tenet of the theory is that ordinary conversational metaphors are used to create new concepts and categories. This process is spontaneous and automatic. Metaphor is special only in the sense that these categories get their names from the best examples of the things they represent, and that these categories get their names from the best examples of those categories. Thus, the literal "shark" can be a metaphor for any vicious and predatory being, from unscrupulous salespeople to a murderous character in The Threepenny Opera. Because the same term, e.g.,"shark," is used both for its literal referent and for the metaphorical category, as in "My lawyer is a shark," we call it the dual-reference theory. The theory is then extended to two other domains: idioms and conceptual metaphors. The book presents the first comprehensive account of how people use and understand metaphors in everyday life.
