Explanations are liberally supported with iconic/pictorial illustrations of usage.EPE is a unique resource for creative writing because of its explanatory nature. Covering more than seventy, mostly spatial and temporal, prepositions, it presents a picture of remarkable systematicity.EPE is fully indexed and includes a glossary of terms and an annotated bibliography.　　本書主要對象為英語教師、翻譯人員、英文科系學生，以及一般經常使用英文書寫的人士。全書編排分二十三章，詳細剖析同性質介系詞之間的細微差異，並經常藉助圖例以增強讀者印象。討論的介系詞超過七十個，例句極多，讀者依樣畫葫蘆，易學難忘，書後另有索引及參考資料詳注備查。
