謝謝！收藏啦

收藏先

這樣的「例句」，恐怕沒幾個人真正能夠下功夫去背、去真正牢記這些生詞、尤其是它們的用法。就像樓上說「先收藏了」的網友，恐怕只是把TA 硬碟上「英語學習」那好幾十、甚至好幾百GB的儲存量又增加了些許而已。這根本就不是輸入自己頭腦、信手拿來就能用的那種「掌握」。
所以到頭來，如果你買了這本書，真正受益的，是賣書的那個人，而不是買書的人；
至於拿到網上來「分享」，everybody loses ---- 編書、賣書的沒掙到錢；買書、最早拿上網的那個花了冤枉錢；拿到這裡來「分享」的兄弟白費了時間；「收藏的」的人給硬碟添了些許東西，卻什麼也沒學到，白耽誤工夫了；本人瞎耽誤工夫在這裡「咸吃蘿蔔淡操心」 寫這條反饋。   

俺也試試

好多年前就見過。那時說是什麼鬼佬或鬼佬公司的東西。現在又說什麼魚老師的東西。
