浩庭's lab(2) homework

I can't find the news that I read in the lab class, so I choose another news about "Feeling grumpy is good for you". I found it interesting because all the news and the papers always tell us that feeling happy is good for your health or can strengthen our faith. If a mans with cancer always be in a good mood and forget all the pain, then maybe miracle happends.
And my favorite dictionary on the list is Longman. I choose the word "dwell" for example. I compare Longman with the yahoo dictionary. Yahoo dictionary's explanation is live, and the Longman's explanation is literary to live in a particular place. The different between those two dictionary is how detailed there explanations are. And I think if you want to learn a language, then you mest kown the certain meaning of the word, just like comparing see, look and watch, their Chinese are both 看, but actually, they're definitely different!

  1. I'm not sure what you mean by "literary to live in a particular place".

    Yes, it is very important to understand that very few English words have an exact equivalent in Chinese, or other languages.
