不是所有的长句都是罗唆的,也不是凡是短的句子都是洗练的。我们要尽量运用简练的句子;我们也要尽量把没有增添语意的词语去掉,并且将冗长句子节缩,使之简练利落。
我们可以从四方面着手:
一、消除多余的词语
每句话里的词藻或用语,如果对语意起不了作用就不要铺张,要给以铲除,因此(1)a-(7)a都嫌唠叨,要由(1)b-(7)b来取代:
(1)a. At this point of time
b. Now
(2)a. Bring all this to a conclusion.
b. Concluding this.
(3)a. Has a tendency to drop
b. Can drop easily.
(4)a. On account of the fact that
b. As/Since
(5)a. Situated in the vicinity of
b. near
(6)a. June was detemined in her mind to
b. June was determind to /June decided to
(7)a. Here comes David, a person whom I idolise and for whom I have the greatest admiration.
b. Here comes David,a person I idolise./Here comes my idol, David.
二、避免不必要的重复
重复重要的字眼是种修辞手段,但是不必要或无目的的重复,却使句子累赘不自然,因此(8)a-(12)a要改为(8)b-(12)b:
