文法

文体
1. 可读性。
对象是大学程度的话,用高中的英文就行。多用短句(15-20字为佳)、技术性的字就更加要简单易明。
2. 注意段落的开头。
一般来说,重要或强调的事情都放在信件或段落的开头,而句子就放在最尾。
例如:
1. Because he was unable to attend the meeting personally, he forwarded his congratulations on cassette tape.
2. He forwarded his congratulations on cassette tape because he was u
nable to attend the meeting personally.
两者强调的事情就有分别了。
3. 轻重有分。
等同重要的用and来连接,较轻放在次要的句子里。
4. 意思转接词要留神。
例如: but (相反), therefore (结论), also (增添), for example (阐明). furthermore和moreover
5. 句子开头不要含糊不清的主词。
例子: These decisions have been a big disappointment to the committee members. They have delayed further action.
They是指什么呀?
开头少用this, that, it, they, 或 which.
6. 修饰词的位置要小心。
例如: He could only reimburse the cost after July 15.
应为 He could reimburse the cost only after July 15.
7. 用语要肯定准确,切忌含糊。
例如:The figures show a significant increase.” Significant十分不明确
改为: The figures show an increase of 19%.
8. 立场观点一致,少用被动语。
例如: Partial data should be submitted by April.
改为: You should submit partial data by April.就很好了。

格调
1.式样和句子长度不要太单调。
千篇一律的subject-verb-object太单调乏味,有时短句与长句可以相互搭配。
2. 弱软的词(e.g. was, were, is, are...)可以加强一点。
例如: Prunton products are highly effective in ...
改为: Prunton products excel in ...就有力很多了。
3. 亲切,口语化是比较受欢迎。用宾词和主动的词,让人觉得受冷落。
例如:
1. This information will be sincerely appreciated.
2. We sincerely appreciate your information.
明显地我们会喜欢第2句。
