古德明很有心的推廣英文, 他的書有不同形式的英文講解. 這一本都有說及商業英語, 文法. 因為簡短, 看起來很暢快.

回覆刪除我話呢條友仲當現在係查理士狄更斯年代，而家英文聖經都改左九十幾次來就返現代人啦，啋佢就傻。叫佢不如開口埋口都thou, thee，shalt啦
刪除你說得對！如果表達方式表與時代脫節，會收曲高和寡嘅效果！
刪除本書其他內容冇咁古老既, 只係我揀出黎姐.
刪除如果為同英文人溝通，呢本書唔睇就罷。今時今日，邊有人咁樣講野？用呢種英文同鬼佬講野，佢聽得明都當你異形
回覆刪除本書都係大部分written English, 如果你見佢專欄, 佢都係寫好古式中文, 有D直情係文言文, 我反而中意睇呀, 而家有幾多人寫得出文言文呢.
