大学英语应用类课程系列教材是苏州大学大学英语教师多年来教学研究成果的结晶。为了更有效地提高国内大学生英语应用能力，大学英语教师们坚持不懈地学习和研究国内外外语教学前沿理论和研究成果，深入探讨外语学习成功的诸多因素，多视角地展开实验性教学研究。广大教师通力合作，理论联系课堂教学实践，从大学英语教学目标、课程设置、教材使用、教学方法、教学对象、评估手段以及学生的学习动机、学习策略等方面，广泛展开了英语教学有效性的探索，并编写完成了本套教材。 随着我国基础英语教学水平的不断提高，大学阶段的英语教学应该更多地重视培养学生学以致用的意识，着重提高学生综合应用英语的能力，引导学生通过口头、书面、计算机网络等途径学习和运用专业知识，获取和交流信息，开展和表达创新性思维，以便他们迅速成为直接参与21世纪全球科学技术与经济发展的优秀人才。 基于我们对大学英语教学总目标的新认识，并结合近年来广大教师课堂教学实践的成功经验，我们编写了《英语口语交际》、《大学英语写作与翻译：生成及其转换》、《跨文化交际与地球村民》、《中华文明与地方文化英文导读》、《英语影视欣赏》、《医学英语入门》、《大学英语综合能力训练》系列教材，并着力打造以下五个方面的特色： （1）教材题材和体裁广泛，课文取材既体现语言的经典性，又不乏时效性；学生既可以学到充满诗情画意的美文，又可以体验反映现代气息和幽默的当代谚语。
《医学英语入门》选材着重基础，反映现代，强调科学性，兼顾趣味性，语言规范化，内容多样化，努力涵盖各类实用型医学英语的表达，使医学院学生尽可能建立起医学专业英语词汇体系，基本掌握各种文体的医学英语专业文献结构，以及医学英语书面语言和口头语言的表达特点和规律，为未来的临床、科研、对外学术交流和医学服务打下基础。《医学英语入门》既能用做医学院完成大学英语学习的本科生后续教材，也适用于医学院研究生进行医学英语的自主学习。

3.2Prefixes A prefix consists of one or two syllables placed before a word inorder to modify the meaning of the word. Often these syllables areprepositions or adverbs. Prefixes are commonly used to help describethe appearance of, or the location of, an anatomical part.Forexample, the term adrenal, the name of a ductless gland above thekidney, is composed of the prefix ad, which means near, and a rootrenal, which means kidney. Combine the prefix and the root and thenthere is a term that means "near the kidney". Commonly used prefixesand their definitions are listed in Appendix I. 3.3Suffixes A suffix refers to a syllable or a group of syllables attached to theend of a word root to modify the meaning of it. By adding a suffix to aword root, one may change the meaning of a word, or merely changeits grammatical function,i.e.,create a noun or an adjective.Commonly used suffixes and their definitions are listed in Appendix Ⅱ. 3.4Combining vowels Combining vowels are sometimes used to create a more fluidtransition between word parts and to make medical terms easier topronounce.Forexample,thetermsplenomegalymeanstheenlargement of the spleen. It is the combination of the root word splenmeaning spleen, and the suffix megaly meaning enlargement. The "O"which follows the root word splen is a combining vowel which simplymakes the word flow better. The vowel used most often to combinemedical words is "0", but other vowels are also sometimes used. Itshould be noted that combining vowels may be used between two rootwords, or between a root word and a suffix, but they are never usedbetween prefixes and root words.
