The average person learns most of the 30 000～40 000 words whose meanings he or she recognizes by hearing them or getting familiar with them in the context of simply absorbing them without conscious(意識(shí)到的) effort.The best way to build a good vocabulary,therefore,is to read a great deal and to participate in a lot of good talks.There are relatively few words that we learn permanenly(永久的)by purposefully referring to dictionaries or keeping word lists.However,even those extra few are of value,and no one will make a mistake by working on developing a larger vocabulary.Here are some suggestions of how to do it.
Read plenty of good books.When you come across a new word,or a new meaning of an old word,stop and see if you can understand it from its context.If you can't,and if you can manage without interrupting the thought of the book too much,look it up in a dictionary or ask somebody and then repeat its meaning to yourself a couple of times.If you are really conscientious(認(rèn)真的),write the word and its meaning in a personal vocabulary list—preferably using it in a sentence,or you can keep a special vocabulary notebook.Go over the list from time to time.Further,try to use a new word in writing or conversation a few times over the next several days.
Listen to good talks and be alert to new words you hear or to new meanings of words you already know.Then treat them just as you do the new words you read.
Learn and be alert to the parts of words:prefixes,suffixes and roots.Knowing them enables you to make intelligent guesses about the meaning of words.
If you are studying a foreign language,be alert to words in that language which relate to words in English.English has inherited(繼承) or borrowed much of its vocabulary of 500 000～600 000 words from Latin,Greek,French,Spanish and German.

Feng Shoots War Film
Though war is something people hate,Director Feng Xiaoning often exposes his audience to it.
“If we don't impress the audience,who are without the painful experience of war,with the cruel injury to life and human nature war causes,how can we bring them a love of peace and objection to war?”asked the director with a glance in his eyes.
After Red River Valley and Lover's Grief over the Yellow River,both of which star Chinese model and actress Ning Jing,Feng drew a satisfactory full stop to his war trilogy(三部曲) last month with Purple Sunset.
The film tells a story which took place in 1945,at the very moment when World War Ⅱ was drawing to an end.A Chinese peasant and a Soviet woman soldier flee into a forest,where they seize a Japanese girl.They follow the girl in the hope that she will take them out of the forest,but instead they arrive in a Japanese base.Humanisty(人道主義) prevents them from killing the young,innocent(無(wú)辜的) victim of Japanese militarism.This humanity,the longing for peace and eagerness to survive,make the three unite.
“If people are touched by justice,tolerance(容忍) and unselfishness,I think I have achieved my goal,”Feng said.
Feng admits that there are violent and bloody scenes in the film,such as tanks fighting and Japanese burning Chinese people alive,to show the cruelty of war.But that's never his personal preference,he says.“Everyone who has watched my films can tell how much I detest war,”he said,“I wrote all the things for my war films by myself.Whenever I finished one,I felt as though I had suffered great pain.”
Feng regards every one of his productions as an opportunity to learn about human nature and humanity.In spite of violent scenes which frighten and sicken the audience,a balance is sought with beautiful scenery.Just like the snowy mountains in Red River Valley and the grand plateau(高原) in lover's Grief over the Yellow River,a beautiful vast grassland appears in this film.“I used to study art and I appreciate beautiful things,”Feng said,“I believe that films should offer the audience a chance to enjoy beauty.”
