此书通过两种语言所出现的各类现象，发起对“有关中文和英文，这两种语言的真理性”的探索与考究。可是因为，真理只能被启示而得以完全，不能通过有限地观察而得以完整地被呈现。 因此，该书会把“最大程度内”所得到的观察而整理出来的，具备解释性与囊括性的单元语言性的意义，系统地分成各类“双语语言定理”。本书所要负责的，以及想要承担的使命，与倡导的意义就在于传扬这些“双语语言定理”。我们又通过这些已经建立起来的，相对比较成熟的定理系统，以此来引导两种语言之间的相互佐证和推衍，从而达到“教学相长”的功用。至于在“教”与“学”的过程中，由诸类“双语语言定理”所推衍出来的各样“实用性”的推理，本书尚不能承担由这些推理所引发的自由思考和结论。
“是故学然后知不足，教然后知困。知不足，然后能自反也；知困，然后能自强也。
故曰：教学相长也。
- 乐正克 《学记》
Therefore, learning makes awareness of self-insufficiency and teaching makes less of stubbornness. Thus, self-insufficiency enables reflection and humility; less stubbornness increases flexibility and strength. Therefore, the old wisdom often proclaims “teaching and learning should grow together.””
