If you want to get the most out of the study of alanguage, you must also read for pleasure: novels, plays, travel books, and soon. And in reading books of this kind the important thing is to get on with thereading; to try to grasp what the writer is going to tell you in the book as awhole. This is impossible if you stop and think over the meaning of everysingle word which happens to be unfamiliar(不熟悉). You can not enjoy a story if you stop half a dozentimes on every page in order to look up words in the dictionary. You may evenprevent yourself from understanding the story as a whole by doing this.

  When you are reading books of this kind,therefore, you will usually have to rely mainly on(依靠) the context (上下文) to help you. If you meet an unfamiliar word, do not let it taketoo much of your attention from the main thread(主线) ofthe story. In all probability(可能) you will meet thesame word again a few pages later on in a slightly different context, and eachtime you see it that your understanding of it will become more exact.
