中文是一門藝術
不能生吞活剝地使之機械化系統化
太看重語法是學不好語言的
中國人自古喜歡的是文法非語法
下面是一段我從別人口中聽得的辜鴻銘先生有關中文（文言文）的論述（至今我還未找到出處﹐望高人指點）。叫那些外國學生好好理解一下
or half educated people, even the spoken English, as I have said, is difficult
. For half educated people it maybe said of them as was once said of rich
men, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for
them to understand high classical Chinese and for this reason: written Chinese
, is a language only for the use of really educated people. In short, written
Chinese, classical Chinese is difficult because it is the language of really
educated people and real education is a difficult thing but as the greek
proverb says:"all beatutiful things are difficult"........
Here is the Chinese text which is not doggerel (這裡老辜指得是用英文翻譯得
漢語詩), but poetry-poetry simple to the verge of colloquialism, yet with
a grace, dignity pathos and nobleness which I cannot reproduce and which
perhaps it is impossible to reproduce, in English in such simple language
.

: “不可以”也可以是should not或者unable to。“不能吃”不給上下文的話有兩種意思﹕不允許吃﹔沒有能力吃。“不可以吃”一般就隻有前者的意思。沒有“不行吃”這種說法。“不會吃”這種說法是存在的﹐但是“不會吃這麼多”這種搭配很怪。
: sp: “不允許吃”就是“不被允許吃”﹐然而後者是一種歐化的洋式漢語說法﹐平常沒人這麼說話。
