高ji时刻。创造性思考。仅仅从组成它们的单词就无法理解这类习语。《美国传统成语词典》探讨了成语的含义，包括短语动词（如回踢），谚语（如过多的厨师弄糟肉汤），感叹词（如坚硬的豆子）和象形文字（如房间里的大象）。自15年前出版di一版以来，作者克里斯汀·安默（Christine Ammer）进行了广泛的修订，以反映新的历史学术和英语语言的变化。与当前可用的任何其他词典相比，第二版更详细地定义了10,000多个惯用语。英语学习者会发现这本词典特别有用。

Senior moment. Think outside the box. Idioms like these can't be understood just from the words that make them up. The American Heritage(R) Dictionary of Idioms explores the meanings of idioms, including phrasal verbs such as kick back, proverbs such as too many cooks spoil the broth, interjections such as tough *eans, and figures of speech such as elephant in the room. Since the publication of the first edition 15 years ago, author Christine Ammer has made extensive revisions that reflect new historical scholarship and changes in the English language. This second edition defines over 10,000 idiomatic expressions in greater detail than any other dictionary available today. English language learners will find this dictionary especially useful.

Christine Ammerhas authored over three dozen reference books, on subjects ranging from classical music to women's health. Her works include Facts on File Dictionary of Cliches, Seeing Red or Tickled Pink, Southpaws and Sunday Punches, Cool Cats and Top Dogs, and Fruitcakes and Couch Potatoes. She lives in Lexington, Massachusetts.
