6. The writing of a dictionary is not a task of setting up authoritative statements about the “true meanings”of words，but a task of recording to the best of one's ability，that various words have meant to authors in the distant or immediate past.
Not…but在本句中的意思是“不是……而是”。如：
1）What he needs is not money but some understanding. （他所需要的不是錢，而是一些理解。）
2）The story I have read is not a comedy but a tragedy.（我讀的那個故事不是個喜劇而是個悲劇。）
To the best of one's ability 意思是“盡某人的大努力”。如：
1）I'll put the article into Chinese to the best of my ability.（我將盡大努力把這篇文章翻成中文。）
2）He promised to do the work to the best of his ability.（他許諾說他會盡大努力做這個工作。）
a task of recording what various words have meant to authors…。，what引導(dǎo)賓語從句，做recording 的賓語。Mean意思是“表示……的意思”，“意指”等。如：
1）What he said means nothing to me.（他所說的對我來說毫無意義。）
2）What does this word mean？（這個詞的意思是什么？）
我們曾經(jīng)對mean這個單詞做詳細講解，再請看幾個例句：
1）What do you mean by saying that to him？（你對他說那話的意思是什么？）
2）I didn't mean to make you unhappy.（我不是故事要使你不開心的。）
3）You know what I meant to say.（你知道我想說的是什么。）
4）He criticism is meant for all of us.（他的批評是針對我們大家的。）
7. … but we cannot be bound by it…。
Bound是動詞bind是過去分詞，be bound by sth.意思是“受……束縛”，也可用be bound to sth.
1）We should not be bound by conventions.（我們不應(yīng)該受習(xí)俗的束縛。）
2）Housework kept her bound to the house.（家務(wù)把她束縛在家里。）
3）The term papers kept him bound to his desk.（學(xué)期論文使他終日厭案。）
