(这里插一句,而英语就不同,书面语和口语几乎没有差别。只是说话的时候,大家都拣容易的说而已。你读几百年前Jane Austen的书,她们那时候的的口语比起书面语来,语法复杂程度,竟毫无差别。有时候,我竟要细细地翻译,才能弄懂其意思,以及背后的逻辑。但是她的语言是优美的,例如,当伊莉莎白一手抚琴,一面柔里带刚缓缓地问:“Shall we ask him why a man of sense and education, and who has lived in the world, is ill qualified to recommend himself to strangers?”这语言真是可与音乐相比!)
