sounds and meanings are related.语法包括声音系统，组词成句的规则以及语音和语义之间联系的规则。,Human language,however,is different from the communication systems of other species.Though a monkey in Asia may communicate with another

and means,a massive educational campaign is the only thing conceivable at the moment that can really help./在所有措施中，开展大规模的教育活动是目前唯一行之有效的办法。,Some people argue that a nationwide,or worldwide,educational campaign on AIDS awareness is difficult,expensive and therefore impossible.I think their argument is groundless./有些人认为，在全国范围或全世界范围开展提防艾滋病的教育活动难度大，代价高，因而无法实施。我认为这种观点是毫无根据的。,Well have to convince people

said to be superficially friendly.Perhaps it seems so.Just like anywhere else,it takes time to become real friends with people in the United
