　　3. 多开口才能活学活用

　　You need to spend the time and effort. You must have the interest. At the end of the day, it must be a live language. Apart from watching it on the TV or reading the newspapers, you must meet people and talk. Then it is a live language.

　　你要花时间和精力。一定要有兴趣。归根结底，必须在生活中使用语言。除了看电视和读报，你必须和人们交谈。这才是活的语言。

　　4. 从小学语言记得更牢

　　Language is heard and spoken long before people learn to write and to read. The more frequently one uses a language, the easier it is to express one's thoughts in it. The younger one learns to speak a langugae, the more permanently it is remembered.

　　人们学会读写一种语言之前很久就会听说。一个人使用一种语言越频繁，就越容易用它来表达思想。学习语言的年纪越小，就越不会忘记。

　　5. 西学为体，中学为用

　　I may speak the English language better than I speak the Chinese language because I learnt English early in life. But I'll never be an Englishman in a thousand generations and I have not got the Western value system inside me; it's an Eastern value system with the western value system superimposed.

　　我的英文大概比中文好，因为我从小就学习英文。但无论再过多少年，我都不会是个英国人，我并没有接受西方价值观。我的价值观是带有西方色彩的东方价值观。
