Sample Sentences

语言能力之所以无法提升，并且句子漏洞百出，其实是因为你并没有真的“认得”句子里的每个单词。或者说，你的大脑，并没有储存足够多、或是足够正确的信息，让这句话里每个词汇都能无缝衔接。

If you're unable to improve your linguistic competence or if you make many errors in speech, it's actually because you really don't know every word in the sentence, or, that is to say, your brain hasn't stored up enough or the correct information to allow the sentence to come together seamlessly.

视觉效果好，演员好，片子就一定好看吗？我觉得现在国产大片的最大问题就是没有精彩的内容。张艺谋的《英雄》、《十面埋伏》、陈凯歌的《无极》、还有前一阵冯小刚的《夜宴》，都是请了大牌明星来演，场景、服装、道具也是美轮美奂，武打动作和电脑特技更是看得人眼花缭乱。可是光视觉效果好，故事情节和对白设计却漏洞百出，所以观众才不叫好。
