实用文体翻译的技巧1 句子的简和繁 Informative writing should have an average sentence length of 15 to 20 words. This is short enough to be clear and long enough to make the text flow well. (The average sentence length of the main body of this guide is 15 words.) Be punchy. Mix short sentences (like the last one) with longer ones (like this), aiming for one main point, plus perhaps one other related point, in each sentence. We tend not to use short sentences enough. We need to vary the length in order to make our writing livelier. For example, you have the short sentence This is an important document and you should read it carefully in the middle of longer sentences. This is fine. But how much sharper it would be as two sentences: This is an important document. You should read it carefully. Remember: if you have two different things to say that are fairly short, dont be frightened to use two sentences. —How to Write Well A recommended sentence length is anywhere from 17 to 24 words. Remember that these are averages. A sentence over the recommended average can be effective, as can a sentence well under the average. In fact, dramatic variations in sentence length can be an effective writing technique. However, sentence over 40 words are generally ineffective. —Technical Writing 英语产生长句的原因，一是流水句，二是复杂的嵌套句式。例如： 流水句： Janice is an enthusiastic basketball player, and she is the top-scoring player on our team, but unfortunately, she will not be able to play in tomorrows game, for her sprained ankle is not completely healed. 建议改为： Janice is an enthusiastic basketball player, and the top-scoring player on our team.
