邊寫邊分享邊學習。算是我下班後的另類學習時間吧。
對比以下兩段話，看看用詞，句式結構，段落結構，有什麼不同呢？怎麼麻麻地呢？一一來看喲。
經濟學人句子：In the normal run of things, late summersees airports in the emerging world fill with nervous 18-year-olds, jetting offto begin a new life in the rich world’s universities. The annual trek of morethan 5 million students is a triumph of globalization. Students see the world;universities get a fresh batch of high-paying customers. Yet with flightsgrounded and borders closed, this migration is about to become the pandemic’slatest victim.
麻麻地改寫：In normal times, at the end of the summer,airports in developing countries will be full of nervous teenagers who are takingoff to begin a new life in the western universities. Every year, there are over5 million students who fly this way. It means a victory of globalization. Studentssee the world; universities get a new big group of customers who pay hightuition fees. However, when flights are banned to take off and the borders areclosed, this type of movements is about to become the current victim of thecorona virus.
首先，結構。
現象+ 這種現象的正面 + However，這種現象的反面情況。
看出來了嗎？夠麻麻地嗎？
然後，用詞及句式。
「用詞不同」，領會「同義表達」：
不是說哪個就更好或更高級，關鍵是要學會很多東西不止一種說法。
最好能夠掌握不同表達方式，有助於提高寫作（例如雅思寫作 哈哈哈）。
