1. Most of the subjects of the enquiry think that nearly every word in English has just one meaning.

2. While it's true, of course, that many words in English do have only one meaning, it can easily be shown that the majority have more than one.

3. The third important misconception on the part of the students is their idea that a word can be used correctly as soon as its meaning is known.

4. English has a larger vocabulary than any other language. The reason for this, of course, is that it has been influenced by several other languages. It has, in fact, borrowed words from many sources. It is, therefore, particularly rich in synonyms.

5. Perhaps more important is a grammatical matter, namely that some words which mean the same can only be used when certain other words are present.

6. Unfortunately, when many students pick up a book to read they tend to have no particular purpose in mind other than simply to read the book.

7. The result is that students frequently don't have an overall view of what they're reading; also, they tend to forget fairly soon what they've been reading.

8. One reason for poor comprehension from reading may be that students fail to make notes or to ask themselves questions about the text.

9. If the reading material was broken down every twenty-five pages by short tests, reminding him what he had read, he could go on without fatigue or loss of efficiency for periods of up to six hours.

10. If he can increase his reading speed without loss of comprehension, then he'll have become a more efficient reader.

Into this Universe,

and why not knowing,

Nor whence,

like Water willy-nilly flowing:

And out of it,

as Wind along the Waste,

I know not whither,

willy-nilly blowing.

<Rubaiyat Of Omar Khayyam>


不知为什么，

亦不知来自何方，

就来到这世界，

像水之不自主地流；

而且离了这世界，

不知向哪里去，

像风在原野，

不自主地吹。


——《鲁拜集》

北国绽春枝，雪色虚空

故乡近低檐，梦中虚空

星影袭墨砚，诗句虚空

潮浪逐寰宇，露香虚空

蓟马无望欲捕风，世界虚空


——《捕风》

I saw all the deeds that are done under the sun;and see,all is vanity and a chasing after wind.

Holy Bible
<ECCLESIASTES>

后来，我察看我手所经营的一切事，和我劳碌所成的功。谁知都是虚空，都是捕风，在日光之下毫无益处。

——圣经《传道书》

Vague may not be a good thing.It often meas being inextricably involved,and when it comes to
love,it usually follows with the sentiment for never giving up.It maybe sounds quit good,but actually it not be accepted by majority.So people should get down to how to deal with vague things especially like love.Mingling will never be same as mixing.It is a simple principle.However,it looks like that not everybody understand it quit well.So the vague love appears.It hurts someone,discomforts someone,makes someone insomnious.But in fact,more and more people intend to doing this.Would it mean selfish?To say this may be a bit thick,indeed they just attach importance to the feeling in heart instead of the fact in front.their mind are really vague.To solve this problem,just remember to think through things over and over and never make things vague.

1.Why is it that I have to climb 1,000 mountains to get to you and all you have to do is smile to get to me?
2.You are my words, my feeelings and my emotions. You are all I have wanted in my life.
3.I dropped a tear in the ocean, and when i find it thats the day i will stop loving you.
4.If i cried for every time that i thought about you i would end up drowning.
5.Love is a river that flows without banks.
6.Love can turn a storm into a breeze and a breeze into a storm.
7.Loving someone who doesn't feel the same way about you is like trying to reach for a star: it's right there in front of you, but it's millions of miles away.
8.Love doesn't make the world go 'round. Love is what makes the ride worthwhile.
9.Love is fire. But whether it's gonna warm your heart or burn your house down you can never tell.
