  一、避免使用语意弱的“be”动词

  1、把句中的表语转换为不同的修饰语。例如:

  原文:The trees are bare. The grass is brown. The landscape seems drab.

  改写:The brown grass and bare trees form a drab landscape. (转换为前置定语)Or: The landscape, bare and brown, begged for spring green. (转换为并列结构作后置定语)

  2、将作表语用的形容词或名词变为行为动词。例如:

  1) 原文:The team members are good players.

  改写:The team members play well.

  2) 原文:One worker's plan is the elimination of tardiness.

  改写:One worker's plan eliminates tardiness.

  3、在以“here”或“there”开头的句子中,把“be”动词后的名词代词变成改写句的主语。例如:

  1) 原文:There is no opportunity for promotion.

  改写:No opportunity for promotion exists.

  2) 原文:Here are the books you ordered.

  改写:The books you ordered have arrived.

  改写:Charity has supported the organization.

  2、原文:The biscuits were stacked on a plate.

  改写:Mother stacked the biscuits on a plate.

  四、防止使用语意冗长累赘的词语

  例如:

  1、原文:My little sister has a preference for chocolate milk.

  改写:My little sister prefers chocolate milk.

  2、原文:We are in receipt of your letter and intend to follow your recommendations.
