作者序



　　繼上次「高劑量簡報英文」Part II and Part III 撰寫之後，感謝力得文化的邀約，繼續撰寫這本以科技人為主的每日英文用書。



　　在科技業多年的工作經驗，我有幸曾與不少優秀科技人共事，不少朋友曾分享他們對無法正確用英文表達自己意思的挫折感，雖然對科技專業用語沒太大問題，但當需要用英語對話正確表達，中間就有障礙存在，結果在外國同事前似乎就矮了一截。



　　因此讓我想撰寫這本書，根據科技人在工作上可能碰到的情境提供對話用語，使在工作崗位上表現不因英文表達而打折扣。當然英文能力的累積不是一蹴可幾，但重點是如何取得有效學習資訊，加以記憶、學習、運用。根據個人經驗，本書提供了73個情境，讀者能根據情境加以應用到其他自己的每日應對中。每天一句，都是非常實用的句子，加上常用字彙，相信對你會有所幫助。
