The last motive in the world for acquiring vocabulary should be to impress. Words should be acquired because we urgently need them -- to convey, to reach, to express something within us, and to understand others.

  • -- Vanna Bonta 范娜·邦塔

学习词汇的最后一个动机应该是给人留下深刻印象。语言是需要后天习得的，因为我们迫切需要它们——去传达，去触及，去表达我们内心的某种东西，去理解他人。
