 2. 老外也主張不寫嚕蘇或絢麗的字眼(flowery or wordy),句子應(yīng)該越短越好,一句能用兩個(gè)字,絕不多加一個(gè)。 例如:


  At this point in time, we should pull together for our goal.


   (現(xiàn)在我們應(yīng)該為我們的目標(biāo)團(tuán)結(jié)一致)


  (如果說:Now, we should pull……更簡單。因?yàn)?at this point in time = now)


  Despite the fact that my English is not very good, I am not discouraged.


 。m然我的英語不好,但我不灰心。)


  (如果說:Although my English is not…… 就更簡短。因?yàn)閐espite the fact tha t= although = Though)


  I am of the opinion that Mr. Lee should resign from this position.


  (我想李先生應(yīng)該辭職)


  (假如說:I think Mr. Lee should……不是更簡單嗎?因?yàn)镮 am of the opinion = I think)


  He quitted the job due to the fact that he was sick.


  (他由于生病而辭職)


  (若說:He quitted the job because he was sick. 更簡單。因?yàn)?due to the fact that = because)


  In the majority of cases,he likes to ride bike to the office.


 。ㄋǔO矚g騎單車到辦公室)


   (如果說:Usually, he likes to ride…… 更簡單。因?yàn)?in the majority of cases = usually)


  She shows a preference for tea rather than coffee.


   (她喜歡茶而不是咖啡)


   (若說:She prefers tea rather……更簡短清楚,因?yàn)?show a preference for = prefer)


  I will bring the matter to the attention of Mr. Wang. (我要通知王先生)


  如果只說:I will tell Mr. Wang (about the matter). 不是更簡單嗎?因?yàn)?bring the matter to the attention of = tell = inform)


  (句子最后面:「about the matter」可以省去); 同理,也要避免意義的重復(fù)或用字的多余 (redundant); 例如:


  The consensus(of opinion)is that we have to act right away.


 。ù蠹艺J(rèn)為我們必須立即行動(dòng))


  (of opinion 可以省去,因?yàn)?consensus 的意思,就是大家的意見。)


  The letter shows that the problem(continues to)remain unsolved.


  (他的信顯示問題尚未解決)


  (continue to 是多余的字,因?yàn)?remain 已經(jīng)有 continue 的含意。所以句子就成為:The letter shows that the problem remains unsolved.)
