2017年6月英语四级作文高分技巧：少用and和松散句
2017年6月英语四级作文高分技巧汇总
"and"和松散句
松散句在文章中随处可见，难以消亡。松散句在语法上并没错误，它只是太长，且干扰读者对文章的理解，不幸的是，犯有此类毛病的作者往往屡见不鲜。对此可遵循一条好的原则：如果发现一个句子长及两到三行，则仔细考虑两遍，它很可能要彻底改动。

Better: I’m sorry to let you know that a winter storm will delay shipment of your order until February 16.
松散句经常有很多"and"。在口语中，尚可多用几个"and" 但若过多地出现在书面英语中，则令人难以接受。取代"and"的方法是改用逗号或从属结构，或者干脆省略。
