课95：同形异义词，拼写相同

Lesson 95: Homographs, Words Spelled the Same

Because the English language developed as a mixture of many languages, it is often illogical and confusing. 由于英语是多种语言的混合体，因此通常不合逻辑且令人困惑。

Homographs are particularly confusing, because two words with the same spelling have different meanings! They may have the same pronunciation, or they may sound different. 同形异义词尤其令人困惑，因为具有相同拼写的两个单词具有不同的含义！ 它们的发音可能相同，或者听起来可能不同。

The word "homograph" comes from the Greek language, meaning "same writing". 单词“ 同形异义词”来自希腊语，意思是“相同的文字”。
