8、hree-part novel told a story set in the Middle Ages.注:把句中的”three parts”改用形容词来表达,节省了四个不必要的单词”which is written in”。我们经常可以将关系代词如”that”去掉,这只会引起最少的变动。2 策略之三:剔除你不需要的单词Two joint partners will present their views over a long-distance telephone call. 写完这样的句子后,你自己再读一遍,挑出单词”joint”和”telephone”,注意删去不必要的词。2 策略之四:
9、表达否定意义时,尽量避免使用否定词。英语中很多词不用 nos 或者nots也能表达否定含义的词汇,你尽可以采取更为委婉的表达方式。例:Thus college students who do not have sufficient financial backing ,也就是 college students who lacks sufficient financial backing。如果你不想使用太多的否定词,就应该尽量避免使用它们。善于变化许多人将简洁与简短混为一谈,其实二有很大区别。简洁的主旨是用尽量少的词汇讲述整个故事,简短的主旨则是为保持文章篇幅短小,精心撰写或随意删除文中的某些词
10、语或章节。简洁并不意味着总写短句子。事实上,如果句式缺乏变化,文章就会显得支离破碎,缺少联系,让人觉得写作技巧贫乏。句式的变化能令文章协调而流畅,会让读者感觉到作者对主题把握得游刃有余。虽然短句没什么语法错误,但用得太多会使本应合在一起的意思分离开来。记住:不要使用一串串短的、支离破碎的句子。要理清自己的思路,尽量使句子长度有所变化。Before: The Art of Strategy was written by Sun Tzu.

20、意思)转化为复合结构(两个中心意思)和复杂结构(一个中心意思和一个从属意思)甚至转化为复合-复杂结构(两个或以上的意思)。主句,又称独立句,表达可独立成句的思想内容。从句,又称非独立句,表达不能独立成句,而需与主句一起构成完整的思想内容。达到句式多变的最佳期途径是把关键词或短语换到开头或结尾,从中发现达到你的目的和适合你的品味的最好方法。通过连接短句-省词,增词,改变词序或把不那么重要的思想放到从句中去-你就可以写出更流畅,成熟的句子。例 Lu Hao graduated last summer.
