★ 學習英語 Collocations 好的教材哪找？★
近兩個禮拜來，收到很多學生 and 讀者的來信，詢問市面上有沒有什麼好的教材可以學習 collocations. 身為語言教學者之一，
看到越來越多英語學習者體認到 collocations的重要性，感到無比欣慰。
To the best of my knowledge 市面上跟collocations 有關的教材甚少，大多都是 (1) collocations 字典, 不然就是 (2) 不適合學生 （給語言學家）的語料庫 (corpus); 但不諱言的，collocations的字典，能收錄的組合真的很有限。因此, 我總是跟學生講，最好的collocations 教材，是自己編撰、蒐集累積的。
Examples are shown below.
[句子皆出自於國內外各領域知名雜誌]
1. The healthiest eaters know how to maintain a balance without going overboard. ---Advanced
---維持平衡 'maintain' a balance 取得平衡 'strike' a balance
(曾有學生寫 find a balanced point 尋求平衡點，這是中文)
---太超過 go overboard (不過這比較像片語，嚴格講不是collocation，片語跟搭配詞的差異以後會再解釋)
2. Japanese architect Sou Fujimoto creates buildings that explore the boundary between the natural and artificial, such as the Serpentine Gallery Pavilion in London. ---Monocle
---'explore' (探索、發掘） the boundary between A and B
(在兩者間做發掘探索)
3. The bigger danger, however, lies in the emerging world, where uninterrupted progress to prosperity is beginning to be seen as unstoppable. ---The Economist
---danger 'lies in' ______ (~就在於、位在、源自於）抽具象都可
---difference / difficulty / problem / answer / risk + lies in
4. The company is also launching a project Fendi Casa Icons, producing or reproducing limited-edition works by major figures in contemporary design. ---Wallpaper
--to develop / launch a project
5. When I arrived at Fast Company in 2007, I had an archaic understanding of design. Like many businesspeople, I equated design with tangential aesthetics and fleeting style trends. I was taught by the Fast Company staff that good design is really about problem solving, that it offers a more sophisticated perspective on modern business challenges than traditional spreadsheet-based approaches. –Advanced
---have a __(adj.)__ understanding of (後面最習慣加 of, 不是about)
---equate A with B 將 A 與 B 視為同物 (前面常加 'falsely' --誤視A 與 B 為同物, 也可直接用 equal (vt.)
---answer a question, solve a problem, resolve an issue
---'offer' a ___(adj,)_____ 'perspective' on ________
結論：你喜歡做菜，就去看英文的食譜; 你喜歡時尚，就去看 Vogue; 你興趣眾多，就去看Monocle; 你喜歡IRs, 就去看 Foreign Affairs; 你喜歡經濟和全球趨勢，就去看 The Economist; 你喜歡設計，就去看 Wallpaper..........Collocations are everywhere.
