6 E( g+ ?$ v8 T2. 老外也主张不写噜苏或绚丽的字眼(flowery or wordy),句子应该越短越好,一句能用两个字,绝不多加一个。

0 }( B9 e3 X3 e, ]$ Z/ l: _& {( [- r; {
如果只说:I will tell Mr. Wang (about the matter). 不是更简单吗?因为 bring the matter to the attention of = tell = inform) (句子最后面:「about the matter」可以省去); 同理,也要避免意义的重复或用字的多余 (redundant); 例如:& C  ]7 H1 B2 c# w! E1 A& ]% V! V* N
& [/ P. t+ o6 q' n" ], M
The consensus(of opinion)is that we have to act right away.(大家认为我们必须立即行动)(of opinion 可以省去,因为 consensus 的意思,就是大家的意见。)* h( p& P: n3 z+ V$ e+ U! ~
$ k6 l+ J4 s4 @) x+ d
The letter shows that the problem(continues to)remain unsolved.(他的信显示问题尚未解决)(continue to 是多余的字,因为 remain 已经有 continue 的含意。所以句子就成为:The letter shows that the problem remains unsolved.)
) h7 U, _6 k' |: X2 [' e  c
. v2 T6 \  F/ HHe 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。)% B3 ^+ ^& W' S, c/ B2 ?! A$ ^% d

: }. S- i4 c: y3 Z- m- G$ b) {1 mEnclosed (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)0 O/ w' m3 M% P6 h3 ~( y7 ]
; D4 _+ [0 A& I- ?# T# Y
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」(I'll be there)......。也有人打趣的说:「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.)
" I2 q3 B2 [% N$ z0 }9 P0 O5 u! a4 [# d' K% f; n

& a/ v( j9 ^) eManpower 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)/ v' s6 A, m1 x8 P4 @
' G7 \1 r& Z8 R3 Q9 a
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)
9 K' d8 [9 d; l# c/ j( @2 L2 w7 u
He (she) has been a committee chairman (chairwoman) since 1998. (自从1998年他就是委员会主席) (假如把chairman或chairwoman改为chairperson或chair,就没有男女之分。) (如指讨论会的主持人,也可称为 moderator 或 coordinator。)
* G2 l0 e; _' O# Q. [8 ~0 h) [1 C8 {1 C% {$ F) q4 S
Many businessmen (businesswomen) feel their jobs are very stressful.(许多商人觉得工作压力很大)(如果把 businessmen (businesswomen) 改为 business people 或 business executives 或 business managers 就可包括男女了)(凡是单数 man 或 woman,其多数都是 men 或 women。)
0 T  M( A/ R! I5 H7 M, i9 G* [7 \2 m8 N) Y& t3 r3 i. F2 ]2 y
Policemen (policewomen) should treat citizens with courtesy.(警察对人民应该有礼貌)(假如把 policemen 或 policewomen 改为 police officers 就可避免男女性别)8 u' z& E7 M3 {3 c

Stewardesses for international regions may get jet lag sometimes.(国际航线的空中小姐有时会有时差疲惫的现象)(如把 stewardess 改为 flight attendant,就能包括男女空中服务员。)

  [7 K) A) I9 r同理,我们可以把 salesman 或 saleswoman 改为 salesperson;把 mailman 改为 mail carrier 或 postal worker;把 foreman 改为 supervisor 等等。! K* ^4 t3 {/ v& x) O9 I
, B& z$ x' P. u( v4 d- ?
当然,一些带有种族偏见的字眼,甚至有侮辱的味道(insulting words 或 slur),也要尽量避免使用,以免闹出麻烦。例如:
$ `" ]' C6 P1 y/ [0 U: z; q6 y' {. g4 }( C% U# D5 F
对黑人不要用 Negro,更不能用 Nigger(用 Black 还可以),礼貌的说法是 Afro-American 或 African-American;& t: m* u* l; W

. G  @1 }/ }+ U" P6 Z! h( v2 ~对白人不要用 Honky(这是黑人骂白人的用字),正确用法是 Caucasian,或 white people;

对越南人不要用 Gook,要用 Vietnamese;
' U/ [9 _6 ~8 K4 `( {( j7 D9 n' |1 }' R' C
至于墨西哥人、西班牙人及中、南美洲人,包括 Puerto Rico,正确的用法多是 Hispanics 或 Latins,不过据说西班牙人为了维护自己的文化,倒喜欢别人称为 Spaniard。 更多信息请访问:8 h/ l- L6 e- Q0 F- Z/ f! |" q

: k; e4 Q: d% j还有黑白结婚的孩子,也不可称为 Oreo(Oreo 饼乾外面是巧克力,里面是白奶油)。; B4 Z: P6 @+ q; A' R8 h

1 Y. J' [. X. ]6 C0 [. x  Y5 U; s有偏见的老外,不叫华人为 Chinese,而叫 Chink 或 Chinaman(从前还叫「Yellow Peril」,即黄祸)。遇到这种事,怎么办呢?我建议:「君子不与小人斗」,最好是「不理」(ignore)或「走开」(walk away)。不过老外与你谈话时,如果使用这些不礼貌的字眼,那么你就可以说:「For your information,the word you just used is derogatory(或 inappropriate)to describe someone of my race.」(只想让你知道:你刚刚所用的字,来描写我的族群,是很不合适的)。
