Learning Vocabulary 学习词汇
A: I don''''t understand why we have to memorize conversations. We need more vocabulary, not pronunciation.
B: Don''''t you think memorizing conversations is a part of learning vocabulary? Every time we memorize a conversation, we''''re memorizing a whole series of contexts. Each context tells us one way a word can be used, I know from my own language that I can''''t always use words by simply looking them up in a dictionary and then putting them into sentences. Some words have many meanings. We have to know which meanings go where.
Notes
Context (文章或讲话中的)前后文(根据前后文的逻辑可以确定某一个具有多种解释的词或短语的含义)
Which meanings go where 哪一种解释讲得通
A：我弄不懂为什么我们一定要记住会话。我们需要的是词汇，而不是发音。
B：你不认为记住会话是学习词汇的一个组成部分吗？每当我们记住一句会话，我们就记住了全部的上下文。而这上下文可以供我们了解一个单词的一种用法。我从自己的语言中意识到，光靠查词典然后把这些词汇拼成句子，并不意味着会正确使用这些词。有些意识有很多解释。我们必须弄清楚在哪种情况下适用哪一种解释。
