Proof of the principle, the more the merrier, this is an expanded edition of an ever-popular dictionary. Now reissued and updated, this invaluable work of reference provides the reader with over 1,000 of the best-known English proverbs from around the world.
安伯罗丝·比尔斯(Ambrose Bierce)(1842/1914？)是一位美国记者和作家，他的短篇小说最为著名，这些小说为人们展示了一个刻 薄、残酷和可怕世界。他的后半生是在无聊和悲伤中度过的，这在他的最著名的《魔鬼辞典》中有所验证。 《魔鬼辞典》是比尔斯的代表作之一。在该书中，比尔斯以辞典的形式为世间万物正名定义，既剖析了人性方方面面的弱点，又对人类文明进行了辛辣而幽默的嘲 讽。其另类观点，看似乖张悖谬，其实偏激而不乏深刻，尖酸而充满机智，读来让人哑然大笑，或者顿生感悟。

Cliches, the "coin(s) so battered by use as to be defaced," are anathema to Eric Partridge. He says, "their ubiquity is remarkable and rather frightening," and while he likens proverbs to expressions of wisdom, he says, cliches are instances of "inanition." They all sound familiar, for such is the nature of the cliche. What, for example, does "in the event of an emergency" add, beyond verbosity, instead of "in an emergency"? And so, from "abject apology" to "your guess is as good as mine," he lists, explains, and categorizes more than 2,000 trite and tired phrases to avoid "at all costs."

Each article explains the meaning of the word and uncovers the history behind its origin and use.

American idioms can cause confusion and frustrate many English language learners. This thin, delightful collection 101 idioms uses humor, clear drawings, and witty captions to illustrate the real meanings of odd phrases. Many English teachers love the verbal and visual humor, and add it as a supplemental text for intermediate or advanced ESL students. The mocking tone, however, probably annoys the more prudish folks. Other adult educators might also feel that their precious class time is better spent on more practical life skills. I understand their reservations, but still strongly recommend it as a real treat. The author, Harry Collis, deserves great praise for creating a very entertaining, informative ESL book.This satisfying collection seems ideal for self-study, college students, and tutors. Do yourself a favor - read this book!
