請問 CliffsNotes 是什麼意思?

Q:
不需要翻譯,我只是想知道CliffsNotes是什麼意思?謝謝!Here’s Your Syllabus, and Your Condom AMERICANS generally think of back-to-school as a time for discounts on laptops and backpacks, a mad dash for textbooks and CliffsNotes, a chance to stock up on wool tights and warm socks. Few associate it with latex and lubricant. 如果需要上下文,請看下列網頁:http://www.nytimes.com/2006/09/24/fashion/24condom.html

A:
CliffsNotes, 正確拼法應該是CliffNotes, 是指美國學生學習用的學習導覽手冊. 這個名詞的來源是因為有位在書店工作名叫Clifton的人, 把一些文學名著, 如莎士比亞, 作成學習重點notes, 因此演變為CliffNotes, 但拼法經常被誤拼為CliffsNotes.來源請參考下列網址.在上句中的意思是指美國人一般認為開學季(back to school) 是電腦及背包的折扣季, 也是忙著購買教科書及學習導覽手冊(學習清單)....的時刻.
