The study of words is not merely something that has to do with literature. Words are your tools of thought. You can't even think at all without them. Try it. If you are planning to godowntown this afternoon you will find that you are saying to yourself: “I think I will go downtown this afternoon.” You can't make such a simple decision as this without using words.
學習詞匯不僅是與文學有關的事情。詞匯是你的思維工具。沒有它們你甚至根本沒有辦法思維。試試看。如果你計劃今天下午去市中心,你就會發現自己對自己說:“我想今天下午我要去市中心。”不用詞匯你連這樣簡單的決定也無法作出。
Without words you could make no decisions and form no judgments whatsoever. A pianist may havethe most beautiful tunes in his head, but if he had only five keys on his piano he would never get more than a fraction of these tunes out.
沒有詞匯你就無法作出決定,也無法作出任何判斷。一位鋼琴家也許在頭腦中有最優美的曲調,但如果他的鋼琴上只有五個琴鍵,他最多也只能彈出曲調的一小部分。
Your words are your keys for your thoughts. And the more words you have at your command the deeper, clearer and more accurate will be your thinking.
你的詞匯就是表達你思想的琴鍵。你掌握的詞越多,你的思想就會更深刻、更清晰也更精確。
A command of English will not only improve the processes of your mind. It will give you assurance; build your self-confidence; lend color to your personality; increase your popularity. Yourwords are your personality. Your vocabulary is you.
掌握英語不僅會改進你的思維進程。它還會給你信心;樹立你的自信;使你的個性更真實可信;使你更受歡迎。你的詞匯就是你的個性。你的詞匯就是你。
