Upon the publication of this collection of essays by Professor Qian Jiaoru over years of a variety of English teaching, translating and research experiences, I would like to express my heart-felt congratulations to him in the form of this preface, which I have the pleasure of writing at his request. Honestly, when he first asked me if I could do him this favor, I was a little hesitant because I had just arrived at Shihezi University in Xinjiang as a visiting professor with new people to meet and new things to attend to. But after reading the first few essays he sent me, I felt sure they were going to make a good collection worthy of strong recommendation not only to students of English language and literature but to scholars in this field as well.
