Life is not long, and too much of it must not pass in idle deliberation how it shall be spent — Samuel Johnson, British lexicographer.(生命短暫，不要花太多時間去考慮怎樣度過這一輩子---薩繆爾·約翰遜，英國字典編纂家。)

The lexicographer knew that the English lexis was changing.(字典編纂者知道英語詞匯在不斷變化。)

And they spoke the English that the lexicographer loved.(他們說的英語正是字典編纂者喜歡的。)

Here the lexicographer has to be his own linguist and have recourse to the linguistic analysis of the language.(在這里辭典編纂者必須當他的自己語言學家并且有對語言的語言學分析的依賴。)

"When a man is tired of London he is tired of life," said the great English poet, critic and lexicographer DR Samuel Johnson in 1777.(“如果有誰厭倦了倫敦，他就厭倦了生活，”1777年英國偉大的詩人、批評家、詞典編輯家塞繆爾·約翰遜博士如是說。)

Samuel Johnson, English writer and lexicographer (1709-84), was once taken to task by a woman for recording "improper" words in his dictionary.(英國作家、辭典編纂家約翰遜(1709-84)曾經遭一個女人責難，說他的辭典收錄了些“不正經”字。)
