It's fun. And it's so easy. And we've made it like a game. We have filled these pages with a collection of devices that we hope will be stimulating. Here are things to challenge you and your friends. Try these tests on your acquaintances. They will enjoy them and it may encourage them to wider explorations in this exciting field of speech. There are entertaining verbal calisthenics here, colorful facts about language, and many excursions among the words that keep our speech the rich,flexible, lively means of communication that it is.
这很有趣。而且又是这样容易。我们把它编得像是一种游戏。我们在书中精心设计了许多题目，希望它们具有刺激性。这里是些激励你和你的朋友的东西。拿这些测试在你的熟人身上试验一下。他们会喜欢它们的，这也许会鼓励他们对语言这一令人激动的领域作更广泛 的探索。书中有引人人胜的词语操练，有丰富多彩的语言知识，有可供漫游的词语园地，正是这些词语使得我们的语言一直像现在这样成为丰富、灵活、生动的交际手段。
Come to this book every day. Put the volume by your bedside, if you like. A short time spent on these pages before you turn the lights out each night is better than an irregular hour now and then. If you can find the time to learn only two or three words a day — we will still promise you that at the end of thirty days you will have found a new interest. Give us fifteen minutes a day,and we will guarantee,at the end of a month,when you have turned over the last page of this book, that your words and your reading and your conversation and your life will all have a new and deeper meaning for you.
请每天都接触本书。如果你喜欢就把它放在你的床边。每天晚上熄灯前花上一点时间读 几页要比没有规律地偶尔读一小时好。如果你能挤出时间每天只学两三个词——我们仍向你保证，在30天结束时你会发现一种新的爱好。每天给我们15分钟，我们将保证到一个月结束时，当你翻过这本书的最后一页时，你的词汇，你的阅读，你的会话和你的生活都将给你带来新的、更深刻的意义。
For words can make you great!
因为词语可以使你变得伟大！
