前言
再版前言
《英美概况》这本书出版后,我先后收到很多读者和将本书
用作教材者的来信。有的谈对全书的看法,有的谈对某些章节的
看法,有的要我帮助解答某些具体问题,由于时间关系,未能够
一一回信,我向他们致歉并表示谢意。这些来信,还有本书这几
年在使用中反映出来的情况,都是我这次修改增订本书时的重
要参考。
这次增订,变动较大,新内容增加较多,时间一直写到20世
纪80年代后期,材料处理更重视客观性和完整性。由于目前还
不能根据不同水平和不同的需要,马上编著出几种不同版本的
《英美概况》,这本书修改时还是尽量兼容并蓄,在尽量控制篇幅
的前提下,加大内容含量,提高其可教性、可读性和参考性,以满
足多层次、多方位的不同需要。
这次修改增订,进一步完善了副标题的体系,使用本书时只
要查到目录副标题就能很容易地找到所需内容。用作教材时,也
可把副标题视作讲课大纲参考,可以组织学生进行讨论,不需要
过多受限于原文字句。
这次增订准备时间较长,但具体实施是在两次印刷之间进
行的,时间仓促,难免有错,欢迎读者及有关专家学者批评指正。
