书籍介绍
这不是一本按字母顺序罗列单词的工具书，而是一条通往英语底层逻辑的通道。作者以希腊、拉丁词根为骨架，把看似孤立的词汇编织成一张彼此呼应的网络：从拉丁语“war”走出的bell，牵引出antebellum那段消失于战后的南方旧时光；从“under”生出的sub，又悄然潜入潜意识的幽暗地带。读者记住它，往往不是因为背下了多少词，而是因为单词忽然有了历史、神话与文化的体温——读着读着，希腊罗马神话成了绕不开的兴趣，连例句里都藏着科幻迷的会心暗号。它适合愿意把背单词当成读故事的人：慢一点没关系，水滴石穿，终会看见一个焕然然的英语世界。

如果你想背单词背builder吧，如果你想睡觉，看builder吧，如果你没事了想看故事还是看builder吧~
终于拖拖拉拉的背完了，我很喜欢韦小绿啊，例句下面的那段话旁征博引的看的超开心。于是努力背例句去。
当年地摊10元买来的.
为了GRE，这两个多月认认真真读完了这本书，前面还有些困难，后面就像读小说一样顺畅。无论为了什么，都应该读它！！

准确 简洁 美
Very good book, exhausting to read.
