《美高物理衔接手册》（A Bridge to U.S. High School Physics）是一部为即将进入美国物理课堂的中文背景学生而写的双语衔接读物。它针对的是这样一个具体时刻：学生已经在中文里学过一些物理，可一打开英文课本、或面对一份 AP 试卷，却忽然不知从何下手。
本书不是对现有教科书的翻译，而是用学生真正能跟上的方式重新讲述物理：用中文承载推理与直觉，而每一个核心术语、定律和题目都以英文呈现，并反复出现，直到成为本能。读起来不像工具书，更像一个故事--它的目标是真正的理解，而非死记硬背。
全书覆盖美国高中物理与代数水平的 AP Physics 1 与 2（非微积分的 Physics C）：测量与向量；运动学与牛顿动力学；圆周运动与万有引力；功、能与动量；转动与流体；电场、电路、磁与电磁感应；振动、波与光学；热力学；以及近代、原子、核物理与相对论。三条线索贯穿每一章：训练如何读懂英文题干背后的"潜台词"；一套循序渐进的解题方法--画图、建坐标、列式、求解、验单位；以及以教学为目的、而非装饰的原创黑白线条插图。每章末尾配有英文练习题与详尽的中英双语解析。
本书希望帮助学生理解物理规律"是如何被建立起来的"，而不仅仅是"公式写了什么"，并为 Honors Physics 和 AP Physics 打下坚实基础。
A Bridge to U.S. High School Physics (《美高物理衔接手册》) is a bilingual companion written for Chinese-speaking students stepping into the American physics classroom. It is built for a very specific moment: when a student already knows some physics in Chinese, yet suddenly faces an English textbook or an AP exam and has no idea where to begin.
Rather than translating an existing textbook, the book rebuilds physics in a voice students can actually follow. Chinese carries the reasoning and intuition, while every core term, law, and problem appears in English-repeated often enough to become second nature. The result reads less like a reference manual and more like a story, with genuine understanding, not memorization, as its goal.
The book covers the full span of U.S. high-school physics and algebra-based AP Physics 1 & 2 (not calculus-based Physics C): measurement and vectors; kinematics and Newtonian dynamics; circular motion and gravitation; work, energy, and momentum; rotation and fluids; electric fields, circuits, magnetism, and electromagnetic induction; oscillations, waves, and optics; thermodynamics; and modern, atomic, nuclear, and relativistic physics. Three features run through every chapter: training in how to decode the hidden meaning of English problem stems; a step-by-step calculation method-draw the picture, set up coordinates, write the equation, solve, and check the units; and clear, original line-art figures that teach rather than decorate. Every chapter closes with English practice problems and detailed bilingual solutions.
The aim is to help students understand how the laws of physics are built-not just what the formulas say-and to lay a confident foundation for Honors and AP Physics.
