「每日英文閱讀分享#029-神奇書店」
今晚，我想來點Inc.
由於HBR的選題跟內容我最近沒什麼興趣，
然後就The economist最小氣不讓人試閱，
所以今天跟大家分享另一個雜誌，「Inc.」，
他的文章大多都是分享跟創業相關的內容，
有興趣的捧有可以追起來拉～
今天文章：Part Bookstore, Part Retail Theater, This Tempe Business Became a Local Mainstay
這篇文章主要介紹這間神奇的書店，
剛開始，書店化身為storyteller的空間，幫助bilingual跟deaf children，
後來慢慢的也化身為教室，教導一些aspiring authors，如何寫作、如何出版？
同時也是增加community events（例如音樂會等等）、二手書交易，
最後更擴增店面變成一個theater，也同時販售起禮物。
其中販售禮物的方式我覺得很酷，
They display a set of mixing bowls next to The Joy of Cooking.
我其實也非常喜歡逛書店，
有時候會意外的在書店看到很棒的書，
最近也要開始慢慢多寫書評與心得，
希望能夠帶給大家多元的體驗。
至於Inc.的文章我可能要多看一些才能跟大家分享了～
但的確一些用字難度有稍微增加，
每次看到不會的字或用法都覺得很愉悅～
今天要跟大家分享一個神奇單字：【subject】
這邊我就省略它當名詞的用法了，
除了名詞，subject還有兩個詞性，
當adj.時， 慣用為：be subject to
1: owing obedience or allegiance to the power or dominion of another
2
a: suffering a particular liability or exposure: subject to temptation
b: having a tendency or inclination : PRONE: subject to colds
3: contingent on or under the influence of some later action: the plan is subject to discussion
--Merriam Webster
當作動詞時，特別需要比較的是這個意思時to cause or force to undergo or endure，
慣用語會是be subjected to，
例句：He was subjected to constant verbal abuse.
所以別搞混了唷～
本文例句：They were titles about politics and environmentalism--subjects the idealistic young founders hoped would open minds and change attitudes.
