是的，人人都有自己的词库系统，这个系统里，包含着我们通过习得或学习而来的每个词汇的所有信息，包括某个词汇的文化、意义、发音、以及可搭配的词语等等。

Yes, everyone has their own lexicon system. This system includes all the data on words we acquire or learn, including the culture, meaning, pronunciation of a word and other words and expressions that go with it, and so on.

这样看来通过词汇就可以将信息有逻辑的链接起来，所以词语和词语之间也不是孤立的，相反它们本身就蕴含了大量信息。所以词汇真的可说是语言的一切了。
zhèyàng kànlai tōngguò cíhuì jiù kěyǐ jiāng xìnxī yǒu luóji de liànjiē qǐlái ，suǒyǐ cíyǔ hé cíyǔ zhījiān yě bù shì gūlì de ，xiāngfǎn tāmen běnshēn jiù yùnhán le dàliàng xìnxī 。suǒyǐ cíhuì zhēnde kě shuō shì yǔyán de yīqiè le 。
So, from this it seems that through the lexicon you can link bits of data together with logic, so individual vocabulary words aren't isolated from one another. On the contrary, they contain a lot of data in themselves. So you really can say that vocabulary is everything in language.

使用流行语就是为了好玩，大家对于一些词语会心照不宣地笑一下。“丁歆觉得，网络语言会让语言异化。“我们会把一些传统词语进行解构，重新放到现在的聊天环境下，本质上来说是污染了汉语原本的语义的，但这可能也是流行文化的意义。”复旦大学中文系教授申小龙认为，网络语言既是一种特殊的语言现象，也是一种社会文化现象，蕴含着丰富的社会文化、情感和心理。网络交际平台为交际者提供了一个较为宽松、便于自由创造的语域。

“When people use buzzwords they have fun knowing everyone using them will know their meanings”. Ding Xin feels that internet language will create dissimilation problems. “Some words are deconstructed and inserted into today’s conversations which essentially “pollutes” the original semantics of Chinese, but this may also be driven by popular cultural trends”. Shen Xiaolong, a professor of Chinese Department at Fudan University, believes that internet language is not only a special language phenomenon, but also a social and cultural phenomenon, which contains rich social culture, emotions and psychology. The internet social platform provides users with a more relaxed environment and drives creativity.

哈哈，常用词语甚至句子的输入是可以用首字母缩写的，比如说，“什么”，你就输入两个字的首字母“SM”，“生日快乐”就输入“SRKL”，快多了吧！
hāhā ，chángyòng cíyǔ shènzhì jùzi de shūrù shì kěyǐ yòng shǒu zìmǔ suōxiě de ，bǐrú shuō ，“shénme ”，nǐ jiù shūrù liǎng gè zì de shǒu zìmǔ “SM ”，“shēngrì kuàilè ”jiù shūrù “SRKL ”，kuài duō le ba ！
Haha, if you regularly use a word, or even a phrase, you can just use the first letter of each character as shorthand, like, for example, if you want to type "什么" or "what", you can just type in the first letter of each character "SM", for "生日快乐" or "Happy Birthday" you just have to type "SRKL". It's so much faster!
