本辭典是編纂者劉雲适先生從成千上萬的英文報章雜誌書籍、英譯中國文學名著中,萃取了優美道地的英文段落或句子,在關鍵詞旁加註中文。這種先有英文後註中文的逆向編輯,避免了傳統漢英辭典的缺點-先有中文後再創造英文的那種生硬不自然,以及陳陳相因、充滿錯誤的缺點,是最佳的英文作文、翻譯寶典。

書評

Spare on words but strong on pictures, this delightful picture book for young readers is full of life, joy and warmth, and has obviously been a labour of love. The simple story of a little girl dressing up as a ballerina and then dancing with her jeans-clad grandmother develops into a joyous romp and ends with an exhausted collapse on the couch and a quiet read together. The setting is a very recognisable, average family home and Grandma is in the kitchen. But she is not so busy that she cannot spare the time to abandon the washing-up to have some quality time with her granddaughter. The cat and the dog, obviously much-loved family members, eventually join in the fun (the dog rather begrudgingly). The free-flowing watercolour illustrations extend the story to give young readers a subtext to follow that will have them returning to the first page for repeat readings to check out the subtle changes. The landscape format is perfect for the pace of the story, enhanced by the clever typography and design, and a generous use of white space. Highly recommended for children and their grandparents.

Audrey’s Big Secret


出版公司:Little Hare Books

作者:Christine Harris & Ann James

20099月出版

ISBN: 9781921272530

平裝讀本,176

奧黛莉在半夜醒來上洗手間的路上,似乎看見了鬼!這絕對不是亳無根據的想法,因為她有一對雙胞胎的妹妹之前不幸離世,正是埋葬在這附近!

不過,奧黛莉後來發現那不是鬼,而是和她同齡、名叫做珍妮特(Janet)的澳洲原住民。原來珍妮特從社會福利機構逃了出來,想要尋找她想念的家人。奧黛莉明白家人的重要性,於是決定幫助她,但為了保護她,奧黛莉必須保守秘密。不過,這並不是一件容易的事……

這個故事可讓讀者瞥見當時澳洲的原住民政策同化政策。其中一個做法是強制將原住民兒童從他們親生父母身邊帶走,然後交給社會福利機構或寄養家庭,這些原住民兒童從此斷了文化的根,也失去了家庭的溫暖。Audrey’s Big Secret故事感動人心,而奧黛莉打抱不平和伸張正義的勇敢行為也得到讀者的喜愛。


書評

“…Audrey is a likeable character who is loyal and caring and it is through her child’s eyes that Christine Harris can weave the themes of the love, loss and the Stolen Generation through the story and present them in a way that is ideally suited to readers six-to-10 years. You don’t necessarily need to read the Audrey books in sequence, however, after being introduced to Audrey here I did feel that I wanted to return to the first two books to fill in a

little more of the storyline.”

National Library of Australia in Canberra

Sam’s Bush Journey讓青少年讀者藉由本書練習學習說故事、了解澳洲叢林的知識、環境與兩代之間的相處。



書評

This cleverly written story, a collaboration between Sally Morgan and Ezekiel Kwaymullina, and illustrated by Bronwyn Bancroft, carries a couple of telling messages for young people, Indigenous and non-Indigenous alike. The concrete jungle and world of digital technology shelters and screens us, young people in particular, from the natural environment. The consequence of our sheltered existence is a lack of appreciation and understanding about the bush, its plants and animals, and for Indigenous Australians a lack of cultural knowledge, and the diminishing of their oral narrative tradition. Sam is one such kid, reliant on the mod-cons to get him by. A visit to his Nanna who lives in the bush is painful for him--too many mosquitoes and spiky bushes. Sick of Sam’s complaints his Nanna schools him with cultural knowledge about bush tucker and survival without Google maps. His negativity causes something strange to happen, transported from his bed one night, Sam awakes to find himself in the bush. Forced to use his newly acquired knowledge, Sam gradually starts to appreciate the inherent value of the natural environment. This is a great book, suitable for lower to middle primary school students.

Ruby and Leonard and the Birthday Surprise

李奧納多(Leonard)想作一個蛋糕送給茹比(Ruby),但要完成這個蛋糕卻需要茹比的幫忙。李奧納多會想到什麼方法讓茹比幫忙做蛋糕,卻又不會發現這個驚喜呢!本書還敎你製作杯子蛋糕喔!

書評

Ruby and Leonard are two adorable mice who live behind a biscuit tin, along with a crowd of brothers and sisters. One day they decide to surprise their siblings by baking something. What will it be? Of course, when you’re a mouse, even the smallest tasks are huge--measuring the butter, cracking the eggs and mixing the ingredients. Then there’s the icing to do, and it all gets rather messy! As the cupcakes take shape, there’s an even bigger surprise waiting--an impromptu birthday party. There are clues about this in the preceding pages, but it’s sometimes a little confusing as to who’s in or out of the secret. Written and illustrated by Judith Rossell (of the 'Inspector Stilton' series), this picture book for young children (aged about four to seven) is extremely cute. Pastel colours against a creamy background create the feeling of an old-fashioned kitchen, complete with floral teacups, checked tablecloths and an ancient Mixmaster. Kids will love seeing the familiar steps of cake-baking interpreted from a teeny-tiny perspective, and will probably want to head straight to the kitchen afterwards. The book prepares for this with a bonus cupcake recipe on the final page.

書評

Tilly and Gruffy think they’ve got it made. In Two Tough Teddies they were taken home by Molly-Sue and were much loved. This book is a sequel, and life is not so rosy. There’s a new toy on the block called Bendy Bill, who gets all Molly-Sue’s attention. The two teddies conspire to regain Molly-Sue’s affections, but when disaster strikes they realise that Bendy Bill does have his good points and there is room in the house for them all. I was on the teddies’ side as they are extremely cute and cuddly, as teddies should be, and it was good to see them together again. The text is warm and friendly and conveys the action with humour and immediate child appeal. It’s the illustrations that will be so recognisable and a great addition to Niland’s large body of work. Her soft, delicate watercolours bring these teddies to life. They have almost a tactile presence and remain real teddies, as opposed to the caricatures some illustrators might resort to. The warm patterns, soft colours and eye contact between the characters and the reader make this a very engaging picture book. This is the last book from Kilmeny Niland, she will be sadly missed.
