Bill Bryson's Mother Tongue is a hymn to the English language. In examining how a second-rate, mongrel tongue came to be the undisputed language of the globe. Bryson explores English from America to Australia and looks at, among other things, swearing, spelling, spoonerisms and Scrabble. No self-respecting English speaker should open his mouth without reading it.
Bill Bryson was born in 1951 in Des Moines, Iowa, and grew up there, but spent most of his adult life in Britain. He worked for the Bournemouth Evening Echo, Financial Weekly and The Times, and was one of the founding journalists on the Independent. His books include Mother Tongue and Troublesome Words (revised edition, 2001), both published by Penguin, and the travel books The Lost Continent, Neither Here Nor There, Notes from a Small Island, A Walk in the Woods, Notes from a Big Country and Down Under. He now lives in the United States with his wife and four children.

評分有则英文招聘笑话:3-year-old teacher need for pre-school. Experience preferred。有人翻译:幼儿园招聘3岁大的老师,有经验者优先。这翻译看了让人不免捧腹,什么特殊学校需要招聘3岁的老师,可能吗?原来这只是个乌龙,真正的意思是:幼儿园招聘照看3岁幼童的老师,有经验...
