怎樣使用精煉簡潔的表達方式

在英語寫(xie) 作中，尤其是對於(yu) 學術寫(xie) 作，精煉簡潔屬於(yu) 極其重要的要求。我們(men) 在課上一再強調，學術寫(xie) 作追求目標其實就是兩(liang) 個(ge) ——清楚和簡潔，clear and concise。也就是如何在不丟(diu) 失含義(yi) 的基礎上，用最簡短的方式來表達。

滿足了這兩(liang) 個(ge) 目標，再來討論如何造句優(you) 美有文學性。

這兩(liang) 個(ge) 目標看起來簡單，但想真正做好其實是需要深厚的寫(xie) 作功底的。我們(men) 今天就從(cong) 簡單著手，給大家介紹一個(ge) 列表，如何把一些常用的冗長表達短語，也就是所謂的inflated phrases，用簡短單詞來表達，同時又不丟(diu) 失任何含義(yi) 。
