想到一點(diǎn)兒寫作細(xì)節(jié)上的小技巧，和大家分享一下：

　　策略之一：用介詞短語(yǔ)替代從句。

　　例:　　

　　原句: While they were playing tennis, she started an argument that lasted all morning.

　　修改后: During tennis she started an argument that lasted all morning.

　　原句: When you come to the second traffic light, turn right.

　　修改后: At the second traffic light turn left.

　　策略之二：刪除諸如"who is”或"that is"之類的關(guān)系代詞，變從句為短語(yǔ)。

　　例:

　　原句:The novel, which is written in three parts, told a story that took place in the Middle Ages.

　　修改后:The three-part novel told a story set in the Middle Ages.

　　注：把句中的”three parts”改用形容詞來(lái)表達(dá)，節(jié)省了四個(gè)不必要的單詞”which is written in”。我們經(jīng)�？梢詫㈥P(guān)系代詞如”that”去掉，這只會(huì)引起最少的變動(dòng)。

 

　　策略之三：剔除你不需要的單詞。

　　"Two joint partners will present their views over a long-distance telephone call. "

　　寫完這樣的句子后，你自己再讀一遍，挑出單詞”joint”和”telephone”，注意刪去不必要的詞。
