Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, we call words. 人們最初是如何發(fā)明單詞的不得而知，換句話說，語言的起源是個秘密。所有我們所知道的只是，人，不同于動物，不知怎么發(fā)明了某些聲音來表達(dá)思想、情感、行為和物質(zhì)，以便相互交流；后來統(tǒng)一了某些被稱為字母的符號，這些字母可以連起來代表那些聲音，可以寫下來。我們把那些聲音叫做單詞，不管他們是口語還是書面語。The power of words, then, lies in their associations - the t

47、 . (239words)偉大的作家是那些不僅具有偉大思想而且能用詞匯來表達(dá)這些思想的人，他們的思想強(qiáng)烈地震撼著我們的心靈和情感。單詞的這種美妙和寓意用法就是我們所謂的文學(xué)性。總之，真正的詩人是文字的掌握著。他可以用音樂般的詞匯來表達(dá)自己的意思，這些詞匯憑借其所用環(huán)境和聯(lián)系性能讓人感動得流淚。因此，我們應(yīng)該學(xué)會仔細(xì)選擇所用詞匯并準(zhǔn)確使用，否則會使我們說的話可笑又粗俗。21.
