內容簡介

　　「Go over my head」？這還不簡單？當然是「走過我的頭」囉！嘿嘿！如果你這樣想就大錯特錯了！正確答案應該是「無法理解」的意思才對，是不是讓你覺得「不可思『意』」呢？

　　從這裡可以了解到英語成語不能光照字面上的意義去猜測，而是要去了解它背後真正的含義。成語多半為藉由某件較誇張的事件去形容或影射另一事件，它就像語言的調味料，讓我們在與人談天說地時盡量將話說得生動、精彩，藉以吸引人的注意，這就是成語「畫龍點睛」的妙用。

　　因此，本社特別蒐集了常用的英成語，依照英文字母 A~Z的順序排列，並分為３冊出版。本書為第１冊，囊括 A~G為開頭的英成語。本書最大特色在於配合彩色漫畫先介紹英成語字面直譯，反面才揭曉正確答案，像不像成語的「急轉彎」呢？希望讀者們不要急著先看答案，運用你的想像力思考猜測一下，或者朋友間互相出題問答，相信如此一定能達到突飛猛進的學習效果。

　　盼望讀者閱讀完本書後，再看到或聽到英成語時，不會再說「Oh！it’s go over my head！」而是說「It’s child’s play！」（再簡單不過！）。
