建议二: 避免重复
1. 尽量避免重复使用同样的词汇。或者有的时候虽然词汇没有重复,但意思却有重复。这时候可以做一些简化的工作。例如下面这个例子: :
The farm my grandfather grew up on was large in size.
large 对一个 farm 来说就是 size 方面的 large ,所以 in size 可以去掉,改为:
The farm my grandfather grew up on was large.
更简洁的表达方式为:
My grandfather grew up on a large farm.
2. 有时一个词组可以用一个更简单的单词来替换,例如:
My grandfather has said over and over again that he had to work on his parents' farm.
这里的 over and over again 就可以改为 repeatedly ,显得更为简洁:
My grandfather has said repeatedly that he had to work on his parents' farm.
