四、文化类
1. The Personality Brokers. By Merve Emre.
《人格经纪人》(作者:梅尔韦·埃姆雷)
The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, the best-known personality test, is the focus of an entertaining cultural history of the personality-assessment industry. Its enduring popularity ought not to be surprising: after all, it offers both the “rush of self-discovery” and “the comfort of solidarity” with others of the same type.
最著名的人格测试“迈尔斯-布里格斯类型指标”在人格评估业成为娱乐文化一部分的过程中扮演着核心角色。它经久不衰的热度应该并不令人意外:毕竟,它可以让人“迅速发现自我”,同时又因为同一种类型的其他人的存在而获得“抱团取暖的安慰”。
2. The Prodigal Tongue. By Lynne Murphy.
《英式英语与美式英语爱恨交织的关系》(作者:琳恩·墨菲)
The first and perhaps only book on the relative merits of American and British English that is dominated by facts and analysis rather than nationalistic prejudice. For all its scholarship, this is also a funny and rollicking read.
关于美式英语与英式英语相对而言的优点,这是第一本、可能也是唯一由事实和分析而不是民族主义偏见占主导的书。尽管是学术性著作,读来却轻松有趣。
rollicking['rɑlɪkɪŋ] : adj.欢乐的;喧闹的
