step 6  language points

1. the way a written language developed can tell us just as much about a culture as the history of a spoken language. 一種書面語言的發展方式, 能告訴我們關于一種口語的歷史,同樣也告訴我們文化方面的東西.

l                       我不喜歡他對待孩子的方式.     i don’t like the way he treats his child.

l                       他解決問題的方式很奇特.       the way he solved the problems was strange.

2. the chinese language differs from many western languages in that it uses characters which have meanings and can stand alone as words. 漢語與很多西方語言不同, 區別在于漢語使用的基本單位漢字本身就具有意義.

differ from不同于; 有區別 = be different from

l                       men are alike in their promises. it is only in their deeds that they differ (from each other).

人在許諾時都一樣,不同之處在于他們的行動.

l                       i’m sorry to differ from/ with you about that question.
