13.How men first learned to invent words is unknown,in other words,the origin of language is a mystery.All we really know is that men,unlike animals,somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings,actions and things,so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs,called letters,which could be combined to represent those sounds and which could be written down.Those sounds,whether spoken,or written in letters,we call words.The power of words,then,lies in their association-the thing they bring up before our minds.Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live,the more certain words recall to us the glad and the sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn,the more the number of words that mean something to us increase.
Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions.This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary style.Above all,the real poet is a master of words.He can convey (表达,传递)his meaning in words which sing like music,and which by their position and association can move men to tears.We should,therefore,learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately,or they make our speech silly and vulgar.(粗俗的)

分析 人们最初是如何发明单词的是未知的,换句话说,语言的起源是个秘密.所有我们所知道的只是人,不同于动物,发明了某些声音来表达思想、情感、行为和事物,以便相互交流;后来统一了某些被称为字母的符号,这些字母可以连起来代表声音,可以写下来.我们把那些声音叫做单词,不管它们是口语还是书面语. 文字的力量在于其联系性--它们把这些联系带到我们的头脑中.通过我们的自身经历,单词对我们来说充满了意义.我们活得越久,某些单词就越能使我们回忆起过去的喜怒哀乐;我们越是阅读和学习,对我们有意义的单词数量就越增加. 伟大的作家是那些不仅具有伟大思想而且能用词汇来表达这些思想的人,他们的思想强烈地震撼着我们的心灵和情感.单词的这种美妙和寓意用法就是我们所谓的文学性.总之,真正的诗人是文字大师.他可以用音乐般的词汇来表达自己的意思,这些词汇凭借其所应用的环境和联系能让人感动得流泪.因此,我们应该学会仔细选择所用词汇并准确使用,否则会使我们说的话可笑又粗俗.
