Към читателите
Всички, които’ изучават английски език, са се
сблъсквали с факта, че колкото и добре да знаят и
разбират значението на отделните думи, често
не могат сами да осмислят фразите, изразите и
изреченията, които me образуВат. Тези английски
изрази и фрази, чието значение се различаВа на-
пълно или донякъде от значенията на съставящи-
те ги думи са така наречените идиоми.
Сами разбирате колко важно е изучаВането им:
me праВят речта no-изразителна и жиВа, а умест-
мата им употреба е сигурен критерий за степен-
та на оВладяВането на английския език.
Речникът, който предлагаме, съдържа около
'1000 анелийски идиома и 2000 фразови глаеола,
иреВадени на български език.
