現代英語的辭彙量到底有多少？

這麼大的辭彙量要怎麼才能記得住？

The Second Edition of the 20-volume Oxford English Dictionary contains 171,476 English words that are currently in use.

People typically use 1,000 to 5,000 words in their daily lives.

A 25-year old native speaker knows and can use about 25,000 words on average.

This graph demonstrates the distribution of the vocabulary size of native English speakers.

1. 辭彙量可以去查網路詞典的條目數量。

2. 基本上掌握一門語言，不需要記住所有的辭彙量，只要掌握常用的就行了。
3. 但是掌握一門語言，不僅僅是記住辭彙，而是要知道如何運用，就像造房子不是簡單地堆砌水泥磚頭，而是要考慮如何「堆砌」。
