Bill Bryson告别了畅销书《The Lost Continent》中诙谐描绘的美国中部大道小径，踏上了一场沿着美国语言与大众文化66号公路的飞驰畅快之旅。在《Made in America》中，Bryson剥去了故土的神话色彩——解释了一个既无树木也无冬青（holly）的荒漠小村落如何演变成好莱坞（Hollywood），狂野西部（Wild West）其实并未被征服，美国人为什么把中尉念成“lootenant”、把星期二念成“Toosday”，美国人如何在垃圾食品（junk food）这个词出现之前就对其大快朵颐——并揭示了丁字裤的真正起源，最初的$64,0

我的书单推荐（基本只看自传类）：-《My Father Marconi》（Degna Marconi 著）-《Made in Japan》（索尼创始人）-《Made in America》（沃尔玛创始人）-《How to win friends and influence people》（不过我听说拿破仑·希尔那四本书都字字珠玑）。或者我还读过《Never Eat Alone》，风格类似也很棒。…
My recommendations (stick almost exclusively to autobiography): - My Father Marconi (degna marconi) - Made in Japan (sony founder) - Made in America (walmart founder) - How to win friends and influence people (though I hear all 4 of N Hill's books are worth their weight in gold). Alternatively I read "Never Eat Alone" which is similar and also great.…
比尔·布莱森的书《Made in America》，虽然主要讲的是语言（美式英语 vs 英式英语），但也厘清了很多关于某某东西到底是谁发明的虚假或存争议的说法。在语言层面，它还指出很多经常被人嗤之以鼻的“美式表达”…
Bill Bryson's book Made in America, although mainly about language (US v British English), also deals with many false and/or disputed claims about who invented what. On the language side, it also points out that many "Americanisms", oft-derided…
我挺喜欢比尔·布莱森的《Made In America》，它从美国历史对英语产生的影响这一角度切入。读起来既幽默风趣又长见识。https://www.amazon.com/Made-America-Informal-History-Languag...
I enjoyed Bill Bryson's "Made In America" which approaches American history through its effect on the English language. A very entertaining and informative read. https://www.amazon.com/Made-America-Informal-History-Languag...
这些全都是比尔·布莱森写的，但一本都不是讲旅行的：《Shakespeare: the World as Stage》《One Summer: America, 1927》《The Mother Tongue: English and How it Got that Way》《Made in America: an Informal History of the English Language in the US》《At Home: A Short History of Private Life》
All of these are by Bill Bryson but none are about travel: Shakespeare: the World as Stage One Summer: America, 1927 The Mother Tongue: English and How it Got that Way Made in America: an Informal History of the English Language in the US At Home: A Short History of Private Life
…觉得有什么“必读书目”，但我推荐贝弗利·克利里的 Ramona 系列，非常适合给五岁以上的孩子大声朗读。我和我的大孩子（现在12岁了）都超级喜欢比尔·布莱森的《Made in America》和《A short history of nearly everything》之类。
…think there are any "must-reads", but I'll recommend the Ramona series by Beverly Cleary as fantastic read-alouds for kids age five or older. My older child (12 now) and I really enjoyed Bill Bryson's "Made in America" and "A short history of nearly everything".
