The fact that you are beginning to study this book shows that you are no longer what is called an intermediate student of english but can be considered advanced ——that is to say, it can be assumed that you can express (1) yourself quite well in English, both (2) in speaking and in writing. 你即将开始学习这本书，这一情况表明你已经不再是人们常说的中等水平的英语学习者了，而是该被称作水平较高的学生 — 也就是说，我们可以认为你既能够用英语口语也能够用英语书面语很好地表达自己的意思。This book is intended (3) to help you to improve still (4) further so that you can reach the point where (5) people will say that your English is fluent — a level measured by the Cambridge Proficiency Examination, for example. 本书就是想要帮助你进一步提高，使你达到被人们公认为是熟练掌握英语的水平 —— 比如，这一水平是由剑桥英语考试来测量的。 You will see my personal (6) opinion of the difficulties ahead of (7) you and how you can best solve them (8) in Lesson 4 of this book. ( 在本书的第四课中你能看到我提出的一些个人观点，解决学习英语时你将面对的困难)But it may be helpful for me to make (9)the main points of my argument here, before (10) you start. 但是，在此之前我想先陈述下我的观点。In the first place, there is still (11) quite a long way to go before (12) you can feel sure that your English is fluent

(13). 首先，在你觉得自己英语已经学的很熟练之前，你还有很长一段路要走。You have probably noticed yourself that while (14) you can express your ideas in English clearly enough(15), you only know one way of saying or writing them.你可能已经发现了，尽管你已经能用英语清楚地表达出自己的想法，你却只是会用一种方式来说或者写出来。You would like to be able to vary this a little, depending on (16) the company around you or the situation you find yourself in(17), just as you would in your own language. 就像你在使用自己的母语一样，你也想在用英语时稍微变通一点点，这都是由我们使用语言时你的对象和所处的环境决定的 In (18)the same way, while you understand your teacher perfectly, you may sometimes not find (19) it so easy to follow ordinary English or American people who (20)do not choose their words so carefully(21). 同样的，你能完全听懂老师的英语，但是有时候你还是很难在普通的英语交际中或是和美国老外交际时无法跟得上他们的英语，他们在用词时没那么认真。One object of

this book is to “expose” you to （22）as many variations of modern English as possible （23）and help you to use them yourself in the appropriate circumstances.本书的目的之一是想让你接触到尽可能多的英语语言变体，这有助于你在合适的场合用上它们。 The second main point I want to make （24） here is that becoming fluent in English does not really depend （25）on learning a lot of more complicated structures than（26） you have studied already. 我在此要说的第二点是：你能够熟练使用英语，这并不是由你学会了很多复杂的英语结构所决定的。Good modern English is not made（27）up of long, complicated sentences. It largely depends on the correct use （28）of structures and the connecting words and phrases （28）that link sentences together. 现代英语中的出彩之处并不是由那些既冗长又复杂的句子所构成。 它主要是取决于正确地使用这些结构和句子间的衔接词与短语. You will find some of these in the paragraphs above （30）—— “that is to say,” “for example,” “in the first place,” “in the same way,”and so on （31）. 这些词在段落中很常见，就是诸如像“换句话说，例如，首先，同样地” 等等。This book tries to demonstrate（32）by examples the use of such phrases so that you will be encouraged to try them out（33）for yourself in your own speech and writing（34）. 这本书通过举例来具体展示这些短语的用法，并且鼓励你能在你自己的口头和书面表达中尝试使用它们。
