20世纪初,心理学家观察到,一个人生活是否成功与他的词汇量大小及其运用词汇的能力有着直接的关系。在某一领域最成功的人士的词汇量在该领域中排在前10%。换言之,一个人的词汇量越大,语言智能就越高,他在生活的各个方面——工作、社交、个人生活及学习上——就越成功,越自信。 At the beginning of the 20th century, psychologists observed that the success of a person’s life is directly related to his vocabulary size and ability to use vocabulary. The most successful person in a field has a vocabulary of the top 10% in the field. In other words, the greater the vocabulary of a person, the greater the linguistic intelligence, the more successful and confident he is in all aspects of life - work, social life, personal life, and learning.
