B

When you are learning English, you find it not clever to put an English sentence, word for word, into your own language. Take the sentence "How do you do?" as an example. If you 1ook up each word in the dictionary, one at a time, what is your translation? It must be a wrong sentence in your own language.

Languages do not just have different sounds. They are different in many ways, It's important to master (掌握) the rules for word order in the study of English, too. If the speakers put words in a wrong order,.the listeners can't understand the speakers' sentences easily.Sometimes when the order is changed, the meaning of the sentence doesn't change.

Let's see the difference between the two pairs of sentences:

"She only likes apples." "Only she likes apples."

"I've seen the movie already." "1 have already seen the movie."

When you are learning English, you must do your best to get the spirit of the language and use it as the English speakers do.

31. From the passage we know that______when we are learning English.

A. we shouldn't put every word into our own language

B. we shouldn't look up every word in the dictionary
