He has made his(final)conclusion in his speech.(他在演说里做出结论。)(final 是多余的字,因为 conclusion 已经含有 final 的意思。)
He has had many years of(actual)experience in business。(他有多年经商的经验。)(actual 也是多余的字,因为 experience 已有 actual 的意味)
We assembled(together)all the parts for our radio.(我们装好收音机的零件。)(因为 assemble 本身就有 together 的意思,所以 together 是多余的。)
Enclosed(herewith )please find the report of the meeting.(herewith 是多余的字,因为 enclosed 就有 herewith 的意思。)(即:附上会议报告,请查收。)
写到这里,想起一位深受美国人民爱戴、一向主张不写长句、不噜苏的美国已故参议员 Stephen Young,他每次受邀参加会议、演讲、宴会时,他的回信只有三个字我会到(Ill be there)。也有人打趣说:讲演或写作的句子,就像穿迷你裙,愈短愈好。(Like wearing mini-skirt, sentences in speech or writing should be the shorter, the better.)
此外还有:in reference to = about; draw to close = end; at an early date = soon 等。
3. 老外为了族群和谐相处,除不用歧视或偏见的字眼外,连男女性别,也要避免区别,以示平等。 例如:
Mankind are considered the smartest animals in the world。(人类是世上最聪明的动物。)= Man is the smartest animal。(如果改为 Human beings are considered the smartest animals 就能包括男女。所以 mankind = man = human beings)(注意:mankind 后面动词要用多数,而 man 的后面动词,则用单数。)
Manpower seems not strong enough in developing our economy here.(发展这里的经济,似乎缺乏人力资源。)(如果说:Labor power seems not strong enough 也就没有男性主义的感觉。可见 manpower = labor power = work force = human resources)
This small company hired a cleaning woman yesterday.(这个小公司昨天请来一名清洁女工。)(如果说:This small company hired an office cleaner也就没有男女之分了。)
