学习掌握纯正而又时尚的美式英语是许多英语学习者的共同愿望。我们在学习过程中会发现，在美语中存在着大量的习语、俚语和固定词组搭配。习语言简意赅，表达方式简洁洗练，语言生动活泼。习语的学习是英语学习过程的一个重要组成部分，但通常也是我们学习中最感困难的一个问题。它不但语法结构复杂、修辞色彩和语体色彩强烈，更重要的是，其来源背景涉及文学艺术、古代典籍、民间传说等诸多领域，如若不能对其进行全面的学习了解，我们就不能真正把握其内在含义，也就更谈不上正确的运用了。<br> 《〈海外英语〉口语精华：超级美语SHOW》将为您全面解决这方面的难题。《〈海外英语〉口语精华：超级美语SHOW》生动活泼地介绍了240条美语中常用的习语。每条习语自称一体，先以方块文字解释该习语的由来，其次以“场景对话”作为例证，设一场景使读者深入理解，才不致误用。其内容深入浅出，易学易用。适合作为大中专院校的教材，美语培训班教材，也可作为美语爱好者的自学教材。
