When it comes to learning new words, its not where you look them up that's important. Not long ago, my son asked me about the meaning of a word... "Can't you just use your phone" he asked. I recalled my own teenage years when I loved dictionaries and marked new words with pens. Unfortunately, my old dictionary was stolen when I was in college.学习新词时,查阅工具并非关键。不久前,儿子向我询问小说中单词的含义,他不愿翻阅纸质词典,反倒想直接用手机查询。这让我回忆起年少时的自己:我十分喜爱词典,习惯用笔在上面标注生词。遗憾的是,这本陪伴我许久的词典在大学期间不慎失窃。全文主旨:作者感慨当下青少年依赖电子设备查词、疏远纸质词典,最终感悟:学习形式无关紧要,保持探索新知的好奇心才最为可贵。
