楓書坊《看圖學英語BOOK 1》勘误 --马虎是中国人的文化

楓書坊文化最近出版了一套有趣的英语书《看圖學英語》。原著为English through pictures，是很老、很著名的英语教材，主要是通过图片辅助学习英语（右脑学习，脱离母语束缚）。国内上海科技出版过简体中文版，现在绝版了，所以选择了楓書坊的台版。拿到书后比较失望，却领悟了一个道理，就是中国人做事马虎是个传统。就像古文中的很多错别字（学名通假字）一样，这本基本上是翻印的英语书里面有不少低级错误。

最不能忍受的是，他们居然提供了中文的翻译，这点完全违反了原作者的教学理念，误人子弟非浅也。

作者就是要让学生忘掉母语来学习外语，通过简单图片来形成所学外语的形象思维。
