The Sign of the Four


Overview

Every year, hundreds of thousands of international students from China travel overseas to learn about Western science and culture; the first problem they encounter is the language and cultural barrier. Therefore, we believe it is necessary to produce a set of reading materials, of original English text, that is customized for Chinese students learning English - supplemented by Chinese annotations and commentary as required to clarify any ambiguity (thus reducing and eliminating uncertainty) that may arise. We provide the relevant definitions for any new vocabulary (the first time it appears in the book); analysis and breakdown of the more difficult, complex sentences; and also background information on the subject matter, to reduce the difficulty level and increase the readability of the text. This will help the reader take fewer detours, save valuable time, while following the natural process of language learning, and make up for the earlier deficiency in reading.The Chinese Annotated English Literature series is a new collection of the best-loved Classics of the English language, uniquely customised for Chinese students reading at the Intermediate Level. Each literary work is presented in its original entirety, supplemented by Chinese annotations and commentary. We provide the relevant definitions for vocabulary words; we offer analysis and translation of the more difficult, complex sentences; and we supply background information on historical and literary references. This book is a complete learning tool; you won't need a separate dictionary or study notes.From Sherlock Holmes to Jane Eyre, from Jane Austen to Charles Dickens, we invite you to experience for yourself the elegance of the English language and the richness of Western culture and literary traditions.
