14. Learning a language 學(xué)習(xí)一種語(yǔ)言
    A: To speak a language, one must know its grammar almost completely, not just its vocabulary or its sounds, not even sets of rules for constructing sentences. But one can't learn a language by studying only its grammar. If you do this, you may learn only the grammar and not the language. Instead, by memorizing how to use them, one can learn both the grammar of the language and the language.

    Instead-rather
    A great many-a great deal
    A：為了能說一種語(yǔ)言，一個(gè)人不僅要掌握詞匯和發(fā)音，以及一系列造句的規(guī)則，還應(yīng)對(duì)語(yǔ)法做到差不多融匯貫通。但是僅僅學(xué)習(xí)語(yǔ)法，還不能掌握一種語(yǔ)法。如果只做到這點(diǎn)，那你學(xué)會(huì)的可能只是語(yǔ)法，而不是語(yǔ)言。相反，記住大量句子并學(xué)會(huì)使用這些句子，就能既學(xué)會(huì)語(yǔ)法，又學(xué)會(huì)語(yǔ)言。
