Learning Vocabulary-(学习词汇)

A：I don't understand why we have to memorize conversations.We need more vocabulary, not pronunciation.
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：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 ownlanguage 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.
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。

1. language泛指“语言”时是不可数名词,在句中可用作定语。language用来表示一个国家或民族具体的“语言文字”时,是可数名词,其前要加the。language与the连用还可表示“某种语言的全部词汇”。
2. language还作“表达方式”解,可指用各种非语言的方式来表达情感或传达信息。有时还可表示“亵渎的言语”,是不可数名词。language有时还可引申表示“观点,立场”。
3. the spoken language和the written language分别表示“口语”“书面语”,前面均应有the。
