現在國內學英語還是很熱。我個人的經驗(可能也是很多人的經驗)是，用到多少，學
多少。比如你是搞科研的，應著重在英語科研文章閱讀和寫作上下功夫，英語口語
就不必花太多時間；因為花了很多時間，沒有用到，最後全忘掉。學英語需要一本好詞典。<<新英漢詞典>是大家常用的詞典。應該說，<<新英漢詞典

國外有不少“洋”漢學家(Sinologist)。他們大多數是白人男士。有些人還有華裔(或中國籍)的妻子。照理說，這些人耳濡目染，中文水平應該不錯；但實際上，他們的中文水平真不敢恭維。這方麵的笑話很多。比如，中文“洋”教授不知道“打的”是什麽意思。我讀了不少中文小說的英譯本。凡是“洋”漢學家翻譯的，都有很多錯誤。比如不知道“黃河[閱讀全文]
