If you want to get the most out of thestudy of a language, you must also read for pleasure: novels, plays, travelbooks, and so on. And in reading books of this kind the important thing is toget on with the reading; to try to grasp（理解） what the writer is going to tell you in thebook as a whole. This is impossible if you stop and think over the meaning ofevery single word which happens to be unfamiliar. You can not enjoy a story ifyou stop half a dozen times on every page in order to look up words in thedictionary. You may even prevent yourself from understanding the story as awhole by doing this.
When you are reading books of this kind,therefore, you will usually have to depend mainly on the context (上下文) to help you. If you meet anunfamiliar word, do not let it take too much of your attention from the mainidea of the story. In all probability you will meet the same word again a fewpages later on in a slightly different context, and each time you see it that yourunderstanding of it will become more exact.
