I am not learning definitions as established in even the latest dictionaries. I am not a dictionary-maker. I am a person a dictionary-maker has to contend with. I am a living evidence in the development of language.

  • -- William Stafford 威廉·斯塔福德

我甚至没有学习最新的词典中所建立的定义。我不是编字典的。我是一个词典编纂者不得不应付的人。我是语言发展的活生生的证据。
