问题     语言学家把英语里所有的单词,也就是英语的整个词汇叫做英语的“词库”(lexis或 lexicon)。英国语言学家威尔金斯(D.Wilkins)说过,“没有语法,人们可以表达的事物寥寥无几;而没有词汇,人们则无法表达任何事物。”学习英语词汇是学习英语的重要组成部分,而英语的词汇如此浩瀚,一个人想用一生的时间来记住所有的词汇也是不可能的。其实,一个人的词汇量总是有限的。据某位词典学家统计,莎士比亚大约掌握24 000个词,弥尔顿(Mil- ton)大约掌握16 000个词。对于英语中的两百多万单词来说,这些数字则十分渺小。

选项

答案Linguists call all the words in English, i.e. the whole English vocabulary, "English lexis or lexicon". A British linguist named D. Wilkins once said, "Without grammar, people could express few things while without words, people could not express anything." Learning English words is an important part of learning English. There are such a vast number of English words that it is impossible for one to memorize all of them in one’s lifetime. In fact, a person’s vocabulary is always limited. According to a lexicographer’s statistics, Shakespeare mastered about 24,000 words, Milton mastered 16,000 words or so. For more than 2 million words in English, these are very small numbers.
