Each of these special words describes a kind of picture. It is important to learn the exact meanings of words like these. A photograph is a picture made with camara. A drawing is a picture done with a pencil, a pen or crayons. A diagram is a drawing that shows the important parts of a thing.　　You will learn science words by learning their definitions. This means that you will learn how to describle what science words mean using other, more familiar words. Soon you will find how easy it is to express yourself clearly with the help of science words.　　Learning to use science words correctly is not different from learning to do anything well. We learn by practising and by constantly trying to improve. It is not so important to say the definitions of words, but it is quite important that we learn to use words corretly to express ideas.　　作者闡述了準(zhǔn)確運(yùn)用詞匯的重要性，并建議讀者通過學(xué)習(xí)具體詞匯尤其是科學(xué)詞匯的定義來掌握詞的所指，達(dá)到正確使用的目的。雖然轉(zhuǎn)接詞用得不多，但語句簡(jiǎn)單、明了，行文流暢。　　正確使用語言的重要性　　人人都使用具有特殊意義的詞匯。我們做事越是嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)，就越有可能使用這樣的詞。一個(gè)詞若用得恰當(dāng)，其作用相當(dāng)于幾個(gè)句子，甚至一幅圖畫。　　在學(xué)習(xí)科學(xué)的時(shí)候，你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)一個(gè)圖解，一個(gè)制圖或者一張照片有可能幫助你搞清楚，開明白一些問題。這些特殊詞語中的每個(gè)記號(hào)都描述一種圖畫。了解這些詞的確切意義很重要。照片是用照相機(jī)制成的圖畫；制圖是用鉛筆，鋼筆或炭筆描繪出來的圖畫；圖解則是解釋說明某件物品重要部位的繪圖。　　你可以通過學(xué)習(xí)其定義來學(xué)習(xí)科學(xué)詞語。這就意味著你將學(xué)習(xí)怎樣用其他更熟悉的記號(hào)來描述科學(xué)詞匯的含意。很快你就會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)借助科學(xué)詞語使自己表達(dá)清楚是多么容易。　　學(xué)習(xí)正確使用科學(xué)詞語與學(xué)好做其他事沒有什么不同。我們通過練習(xí)和不斷的嘗試來長(zhǎng)進(jìn)。說出詞語的定義并不重要，但是學(xué)會(huì)正確使用詞語表達(dá)思想是非常重要的。
