问题 The grammatical words which play so large a part in English
   grammar are for the most part sharply and obviously different
   from the lexical words. A rough and ready difference which may
   seem the most obvious is that grammatical words have "less                  (1)______
   meaning", but in fact some grammarians have called                          (2)______
   them "empty" words as opposed in the "full" words                           (3)______
   of vocabulary. But this is a rather misled way of                           (4)______
   expressing the distinction. Although a word like the is not the name of
   something as man is, it is very far away from being meaningless;            (5)______
   there is a sharp difference in meaning between "man is vile" and
   "the man is vile", yet the is the single vehicle of this                    (6)______
   difference in meaning. Moreover, grammatical words differ
   considerably among themselves as the amount                                 (7)______
   of meaning they have even in the lexical sense. Another name for the
   grammatical words has been "little words." But size is by no mean a         (8)______
   good criterion for distinguishing the grammatical words of English,
   when we consider that we have lexical words as go,                          (9)______
   man, say, car. Apart from this, however, there is a good deal of truth
   in what some people say: we certainly do create a great number of           (10)______
   obscurity when we omit them. This is illustrated not only in the poetry of
   Robert Browning but in the prose of telegrams and newspaper headlines.
