“造”好句 让冗长乏味句式远离

根据国外学者的调查统计，一个以句号结尾的英语句子，单词的数量最好不要超过20个，否则的话，句子偏长，听话人的注意力有可能不集中，漏听一、两个单词，从而影响对整个句子的理解。写作中也如此，长句特别是语言啰嗦的句子容易让考官产生阅读疲劳感，而简练且出彩的语言却能让考官眼前一亮。这里介绍三种简化方法。

第一种方法是用一个单词代替一组意义相同的单词，比如：

①用forget(忘记)代替do not remember(没有记住)

②用ignore(忽视)代替do not pay attention to(不注意)

③用now(现在)代替 at this point in time(此时此刻)

④用because(由于)代替due to the fact that(鉴于下列事实)

第二种方法是省略同义词或近义词。

比如在下面例句中，形容词important(重要的)和significant(有重要意义的)，就是两个同义词(也可以说是近义词)，我们可以省略important，只保留significant。

①The government project is important and significant.(这项政府计划是重要的，有重要意义。)

②The government project is significant.(这项政府计划有重要意义。)

第三种方法是在不改变句子含义的前提下，省略所有可以省略的单词。

比如在下面例句中，the cover of the book (书的封面)可以省略成the book cover，is red incolor(是红色的)可以省略成is red。

①The cover of the book is red in color.(书的封面是红色的)

②The book cover is red.(书的封面是红色的)

最后我们把这三种方法结合起来，将一个冗长、绕嘴的句子，改写成一个简短、易懂的句子。

①University malls must be accessible and free from congestion in order that students， faculty andemployees may have unobstructed passage through those areas of the campus.(校内道路必须是便于通行的，不拥堵的，以便让学生、教师和职员能够无阻碍地通过，到达校园的各处。)

②University malls must be free enough from congestion to allow people to walk through easily.(校内道路不应当拥堵，以便人们顺利通行。)

除了简化句式，还需要对句子进行精编，让句子“高端大气”。比如，可以适当运用一些副词在句子开头部分，这样句子的多样性就体现出来啦。就比如下面3个这个例句。

Luckily，he didn't know my phone number；otherwise，he would bother me.

Incredibly，Helena got straight A in her school report this semester.

Interestingly，cats and dogs can hardly get along well in a house.

开头这些较为不常见的副词的修饰，整句话立马有了厚重感。而类似的副词还有：

obviously undoubtedly

apparetly fortunately

clearly unfortunately

incredibly luckily

unluckily surprisingly

frighteningly

这些副词大多数表示说话人对全句的看法，在意思上相等与“It is ...形容词 that ...”。

eg：

Obviously，he is nervous about the test.

=It is obvious that he is nervous about the test.

Unfortunately，he tripped over and fell in the mud.

=It is unfortunate that he tripped over and fell in the mud.
