同学们在写书面表达时应尽量做到简洁:写句子没有一个多余的词,写段落没有一个多余的句子。
例1:In spite of the fact that he is lazy,I like him.尽管他很懒惰,我还是喜欢他。
解析:本句的“the fact that he is lazy”系同位语从句,我们可按照“简洁”的原则加以简化。
改为:In spite of his laziness,I like him.
例2:For the people who are diligent and kind,money is just the thing to be used to buy the thing they need.对于勤奋善良的人来说,钱只是用来购买所需东西的工具。
改为:Diligent,caring people use money only to buy what they need.
