Eventually, an English learner should get rid of the habit of translating from their mother tongue into English. Instead, they will learn to simulate other English users. Look at the following examples:

1) We honor all of our competitors' coupons.
2) We will not honor your check unless you endorsed.
3) If your check cannot be honored, a $25 of financial charge will be imposed on your account.

If we use an English-Chinese dictionary, we may know "to honor a check". Unless we are really immersed in an English environment, we probably don't know that a competitor's coupon can also be honored.
