5. Read it aloud.

大声朗读

Reading your works out loud allows you to notice something that you might not have noticed if you were just reading it silently. Go on, read them out loud now. Also, try to listen to your work objectively as you read it. Are you making sense? Or are you simply stringing a couple of words together just to fill a gap?

把你的作品朗读出来，这会让你注意到默读时所忽略的内容。现在就把它们朗读出来吧。另外，当你朗读时，试着客观地去倾听你的作品。你写的有理吗？还是只是把几个词凑在一起来填补空白？

6. Avoid using jargon as much as possible.

尽量避免使用行话。

Not everyone in your audience will know what a “bull market” is. Not everyone knows that “pyrexia” is basically the same thing as “a fever”. And surely you can come up with a better term for high blood pressure than “hypertension”?

不是每个读者都知道“牛市”是什么。不是每个人都知道“pyrexia” （注：发热的临床用语）和“fever”基本上是一个意思。当然，你可以造一个比"hypertension"更好的词来表示高血压。

7. In terms of words, size matters.

词的长短也很重要。

Please, don’t strain yourself by browsing the Internet, looking for complicated and fancy-sounding words. Less is always more.
