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 own language that I can't always use words bysimply 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。

adv.(副词)

1. simply的基本意思有两个:一是“简单地,简易地,朴素地”; 二是“仅仅,只不过”。作“简单”解时可修饰动态动词,一般位于句末。作“仅仅”解时可修饰动态动词、静态动词、系表结构、形容词、名词、介词短语或从句。
2. simply作“仅仅,只不过”“简直,非常”解时无比较级和最高级形式。
3. not simply位于句首时可引起主谓倒装。

adv.(副词)

下面两句意思不同:

He explained simply.

他简单地解释了一下。

He simply explained.

他只不过解释了一下。
