How man first learnt to invent words is unknown; in other words, the origin of language is a mystery. All we really know is that man 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 would 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—things 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 sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something to us increases. Do you think about the reason why you don’t become a boss? The reason is that your boss has a bigger vocabulary than you do. Maybe you can’t believe it. This discovery has been made in the laboratories of the world. Not by theoretical English professors, but by practical, hard-headed scholars who have been searching for the secrets of success. After a host of experiments and years of testing they have found out: If your vocabulary is limited, your chances of success are limited. Dr. Johnson O’Connor of the Human Engineering Laboratory of Boston and of the Steves Institute of Technology in Hoboken, New Jersey, gave a vocabulary test to 100 young men who were studying to be industrial executives. Five years later those who had passed in the upper ten percent of all, without exception, had executive positions, while not a single man of the lower twenty five percent had become an executive. Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerful to our minds and emotions. The real poet is a master of words. He can convey 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 will make our speech silly and vulgar.

人类最初是如何学着去创造单词的,我们不得而知;换言之,语言的起源是个谜。我们所真正知道的是,人类以某种方式发明了某些声音来表达思想、感觉、行为和某些事情,因此,他们可以互相交流,慢慢地,他们默认了某些符号并把它们称之为字母,并且这些字母不仅可以代表那些声音,而且还可以写下来。那些声音,无论是人们发出来的,还是用字母写下来的,我们都把它们叫作单词。然后,单词的力量在于它们的联系性——它们使我们在脑海中想起一些事情。我们经历过以后,单词对于我们变得有意义;我们活的越久,就会有更多的特定单词让我们想起悲欢往事;我们读书和学到的单词越多,就会有更大数量的对我们有意义的单词。你有没有想过你为什么没有成为老板?7.理由就是你老板的单词量要比你更丰富。你可能不相信。这一发现是在全世界的实验室中得到的。它不是由英语教授推想出来的,而是由那些善于实践的、理智的学者通过探寻成功的奥秘而得出来的。经过大量的实验和多年的测试,他们发现:如果你单词量有限,那么你成功的概率就也是有限的。来自波士顿人类工程实验室和新泽西霍博肯史蒂夫科技学院的约翰奥康纳博士对100名学习工业管理的年轻人进行单词量测试。五年后,那些测试成绩在所有人中排名前10%的人,毫无意外的都走上了总经理的岗位,相比之下,排名在后25%的人中没有一个成为总经理。那些伟大的作家不仅仅拥有伟大的思想,而且他们还能用一些震撼心灵的词汇来表情达意。真正的诗人都是语言的大师。他可以用语言传达他的意思,他的语言唱起来像动听的音乐,让人们联想到自己而感动落泪。因此,我们应当学习仔细选择我们的语言,并准确地运用,要不然不恰当的语言会使我们的演讲听起来又蠢又俗。
