  Passage 9

  How men first learnt to invent words is unknown; in other words, the  origin of language is a mystery. All we really known is that men, unlike  animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and  feelings, actions, and things, so that they could communicate with each  other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters,  which could be combined to represent those sounds, and which could be  written down, these sounds, whether spoken, or written in letters we  call words. The power of words, then, lies in their associations -the  things they bring up before our minds, Words become filled with meaning  for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words  recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read  and learn, the more the number of words that mean something to us  increases. Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but  also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our  minds and emotions. This charming and telling use of words is what we  call literary style(文体). Above all, the real poet is a master of words.  He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music, and which by  their position and association can move men to tears. We should  therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately,  or they will make our speech silly and vulgar (粗俗的).
