17. Being articulate has been equated with having a large vocabulary. Actually, however, people with large vocabularies have no incentive for, and tend not to engage in, the kind of creative linguistic self-expression that is required when no available words seem adequate. Thus a large vocabulary is a hindrance to using language in a truly articulate way.
Which one of the following is an assumption made in the argument?
(A) When people are truly articulate, they have the capacity to express themselves in situations in which their vocabularies seem inadequate. (B) People who are able to express themselves creatively in new situations have little incentive to acquire large vocabularies. (C) The most articulate people are people who have large vocabularies but also are able to express themselves creatively when the situation demands it. (D) In educating people’ to be more articulate, it would be futile to try to increase the size of their vocabularies. (E) In unfamiliar situations, even people with large Vocabularies often do not have specifically suitable words available.
口才好一般也具备大词汇量。但是实际上,有了大的词汇量的人往往缺乏一种口才训练(这种训练是在词汇不足的时候能够解释清楚东西的训练)的incentive。就好比GRE单词背完了,解释怪兽形状的水龙头可以用一个单词,不用训练怎么解释这个单词,所以这种当词汇缺乏时候的口才训练就不够了。因此结论是大词汇量是using language in a truly articulate way的障碍。
