美高经济学衔接手册

《美高经济学衔接手册 / A Bridge to U.S. High School Economics》是一本面向中文母语、就读或即将就读美国高中的学生的双语经济学教辅，也适合备考 AP Microeconomics 与 AP Macroeconomics 的同学。

很多学生并不是学不懂经济学，而是被全英文的术语、模型语言和图表挡在门外。本书正是为帮你跨过这道坎而写：以中文叙述为主，所有关键术语、人名、概念均以英文嵌入，带你用英语重新理解经济学--重要术语首次以「English（中文）」形式给出，并在书中反复出现，自然加深记忆。它不是枯燥的公式清单，而像一本能读下去的书。每个模型都先讲「它想回答什么问题、为什么长这样」，再用原创的生活化例子和简洁清晰的原创手绘灰度图把它讲透。本书的目标不是死记硬背，而是培养一种受用终身的"经济学思维"

全书共 29 章，分为两大部分，完整覆盖入门微观与宏观经济学。每章结构统一：主要内容、本章总述、分节讲解、本章小结，以及一组纯英文章末练习与中英双语解析，难度对标 AP。脚注帮你用词根词缀打通术语、辨析易混概念；书末附完整的双语术语表，确保全书用词一致。对于最低工资、贸易保护、再分配、政府干预等存在争议的话题，本书刻意保持中立，讲清各派的逻辑与各自的代价，把判断权留给你自己。

A Bridge to U.S. High School Economics is a bilingual companion designed for Chinese-speaking students who are studying-or preparing to study-economics in a U.S. high school, including those working toward AP Microeconomics and AP Macroeconomics.

Many students don't struggle with economics itself; they are blocked by the wall of unfamiliar English terms, model language, and diagrams. This book is built to help them cross that wall. Written mainly in Chinese with all key terms, names, and concepts presented in English, it teaches students to re-understand economics in English-each important term appears first as "English（中文）" and recurs throughout to build natural recall.

Rather than a dry list of formulas, the book reads like a story. Every model begins with the question it was invented to answer and the intuition behind it, illustrated with original, everyday examples and clear, hand-built grayscale diagrams. The goal is not memorization but a lasting habit of thinking like an economist: weighing opportunity costs and trade-offs, reasoning at the margin, asking how incentives change, and telling apart positive facts from normative judgments.

Across 29 chapters in two parts, the book covers the full scope of introductory micro- and macroeconomics. Each chapter follows a consistent structure-key points, an engaging overview, clearly sectioned explanations, a concise chapter summary, and a set of all-English practice questions with bilingual answer explanations pitched at the AP level. Footnotes unpack word roots and easily confused term pairs, and a comprehensive bilingual glossary keeps terminology consistent throughout. On contested issues-minimum wage, trade protection, redistribution, government intervention-the book stays deliberately neutral, laying out the logic and trade-offs of each side so students can think for themselves.
