9. Learning Vocabulary 學習詞匯
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 (文章或講話中的)前后文(根據(jù)前后文的邏輯可以確定某一個具有多種解釋的詞或短語的含義)
Which meanings go where 哪一種解釋講得通
A：我弄不懂為什么我們一定要記住會話。我們需要的是詞匯，而不是發(fā)音。
B：你不認為記住會話是學習詞匯的一個組成部分嗎？每當我們記住一句會話，我們就記住了全部的上下文。而這上下文可以供我們了解一個單詞的一種用法。我從自己的語言中意識到，光靠查詞典然后把這些詞匯拼成句子，并不意味著會正確使用這些詞。有些意識有很多解釋。我們必須弄清楚在哪種情況下適用哪一種解釋。
