Comment	It is effective to learn new words of foreign language is to read a dictionary. Dictionaries accumulate variosu usages and knowledge with each new publication; they contain useful citation of old and new examples of usage, which constitue a shared intellectual property.	外国語の単語を覚えるには、辞書を読むのが良い。 辞書は、出版を重ねる毎に、知識が集約され改良されてゆる。それは古来の洗練された用例の引用であって、いわゆる知の共有財産となっているからである。
