35则写作注意事项 35 Tips on English Writing 下面的写作注意事项是从网上弄来的： 这些内容非常好，肯定是英美人总结的，因为每句话就在告诉读者不该犯哪样错误的同时，该句就是那样的错误，比如第一条： Verbs has to agree with their subjects. 很明显，作者是要说该句违反了“主谓一致”原则。这样的简单错误虽然少但还是存在，所以说最后弄完时怎么也该最后看一眼。 从这三十几条真可以看出来native speakers的英语确实比我们强。当然下边的东西有的对我们来说可能是不必要的，因为有些错误我们就是想犯也犯不了，就像我们说要卖国，那纯粹是白说、瞎说，比如第二十九条： Puns are for children, not groan readers. 不知各位如何，我是从来没有用英语写过双关句子。 1. Verbs has to agree with their subjects. 2. Prepositions are not words to end sentences with. 3. And dont start a sentence with a conjunction. 4. It is wrong to ever split an infinitive. 5. Avoid clichés like the plague. (Theyre old hat). 6. Always avoid annoying alliteration. 7. Be more or less specific. 8. Parenthetical remarks (however relevant) are (usually) unnecessary. 9. Also, too, never, ever use repetitive redundancies. 10. No sentence fragments. No comma splices, run-ons are bad too. 11. Contractions arent helpful and shouldnt be used. 12. Foreign words and phrases are not apropos. 13. Do not be redundant; do not use more words than necessary; its highly superfluous. 14. One should never generalize. 15. Comparisons are as bad as clichés. 16. Dont use no double negatives. 17. Eschew ampersands abbreviations, etc. 18. One-word sentences? Eliminate. 19. Analogies in writing are like feathers on a snake. 20. The passive voice is to be ignored. 21. Eliminate commas, that are, not necessary. Parenthetical words however should be enclosed in commas. 22. Never use a big word when a diminutive one would suffice. 23. Kill all exclamation points!!!! 24. Use words correctly, irregardless of how others use them. 25. Understatement is probably not the best way to propose earth shattering ideas. 26. Use the apostrophe in its proper place and omit it when its not needed. 27. As Ralph Waldo Emerson said, I hate quotations. Tell me what you know. 28. If youve heard it once, youve heard it a thousand times: resist hyperbole; not one writer in a million can use it correctly. 29. Puns are for children
