We say 'attend a lecture' in formal contexts or 'go to a lecture' informally. We do not say 'assist a lecture' (a common error from speakers of Romance languages).
在正式语境中我们说'attend a lecture',在非正式语境中说'go to a lecture'。我们不说'assist a lecture'(这是说罗曼语系的人常犯的错误)。
Decimos 'attend a lecture' en contextos formales o 'go to a lecture' de manera informal. No decimos 'assist a lecture' (un error frecuente de hablantes de lenguas romances).
正式な文脈では「attend a lecture」、カジュアルには「go to a lecture」と言います。「assist a lecture」とは言いません(ロマンス語話者がよくする間違いです)。
격식체에서는 'attend a lecture'라고 하고, 비격식체에서는 'go to a lecture'라고 합니다. 'assist a lecture'라고 하지 않습니다(로망스어권 화자들이 흔히 하는 실수입니다).
