英文寫作要寫得好並不容易
但有些錯誤觀念是可以避免的
Sonny老師整理出台灣學生
最常誤觸的英文寫作3大誤區
你中了哪些/幾個字呢?
1. 先想中文、再翻成英文 ❌
「英文寫作」和「中翻英」
是兩種截然不同的過程
#語序 和 #敘事邏輯 也不同
即使字彙和句型使用正確
英美人士通篇讀起來
仍會覺得怪異
即使你會的單字、句型有限
還是可以嘗試 #直接用英文寫作
儘管句子很簡單,也沒關係
先求有,再求好
只要基本的骨幹架構有英文的樣子
要加深、要修飾都容易
2. 埋兵伏將,拐彎抹角 ❌
中文寫作時
我們習慣在 #前面鋪很多梗
好讓後面的重點更有說服力
但英文寫作(尤其是 e-mail)
習慣「打個招呼就盡快講重點」
太多的鋪陳客套
會讓讀者覺得有點煩
不管是目的性強的商務書信
或考試時寫的議論文
都要 #儘快點明主旨、表達立場
3. 矯枉過正的難字 ❌
用難字,會讓我的文章更有學問?
有趣的是,事實剛好相反
史丹佛大學
Oppenheimer 博士的研究中
讓 35 位英文母語者
閱讀用字艱澀、和用字簡單的文章
結果受試者普遍認為
用字簡單的作者智商比較高!
因此建議你避開罕用的長難字
選用一些 #報章雜誌常看到 的字詞
例如:
說 shameful 會比
ignominious (可恥的)更好懂
說 bad-tempered 會比
curmudgeon (脾氣很差)更直接
我聽說過一個最極端的例子:
只是要形容「隔壁失火」
卻說成 The adjacent residence is engulfed in a pyrogenic conflagration.
—>「鄰宅正遭祝融之殃」
整個矯枉過正XD
所以結論:
單字這種東西
用得難,不如用得準、用得巧!

1. 好想瘋狂比梁美芬
2. 我倍感安慰
【人必自侮然後人侮之──中大學生會及中大書院學生會就梁美芬女士之謬論之聯合聲明|“One Loses One’s Respect From Others Because One Has No Respect For Oneself” - Statement from the CUHK Joint Student Unions on Ms. Leung Mei-fun Priscilla’s Farcical Comments】
(Please scroll down for English version)
在六月二十六日的立法會會議中,作為香港中文大學校友的梁美芬女士稱「中文大學是中國人的大學」,並謂「任何違反國家利益的事都違背中大精神」。我等對梁美芬女士扭曲中大歷史、貶低中大精神之言論表示強烈遺憾。
我校之所以命名為「香港中文大學」,是因為我校以傳揚中華文化為己任,並希望提高中文於殖民地時期的地位。我校創校校長李卓敏博士曾於1978年中大第十九屆頒授學位典禮上解釋道,中文大學是指「傳揚中國文化的大學」,而當中的「中國」絕非指共產黨建立的「中華人民共和國」。1949年後,大批難民為了逃避共產政權之魔掌由北方湧入香港,包括中大的創校先賢。他們之所以創建中大,正為了抵抗中共的文化破壞,希望為中華文化留下一點命脈,而新亞書院創辦人之一錢穆先生就曾把中大比喻為「中華文化花果飄零到香港的最後種子」。因此,中大絕非梁所指的「中國人的大學」,更非維護中華人民共和國利益之大學。恰恰相反,中大是為了抗共而生。
梁美芬女士作為中大校友,甚至曾任聯合書院學生會會長及中大學生會幹事,竟對創校歷史背景一無所知,實在枉為中大人。梁擅自把中文大學與「中國人的大學」畫上等號,甚至把中大精神貶至維護國家利益,於議事堂上大言不慚,實在不知所謂,亦是對我校眾創校先賢之侮辱。「人必自侮然後人侮之。」作為中大人,我等強烈譴責梁美芬女士愚昧無知之言論;作為香港人,我等以有質素如此低劣的代議士為恥。
中大多年來致力提升學子之人文關懷及公民意識,培育出一代又一代關心香港、積極參與社會運動的中大人。每一場的民主運動,包括當下的「反送中」運動,中大人從不缺席,正正表現出中大人守護香港之決心。偏偏梁在中共政權下搖尾乞憐,處處出賣港人,其所作所為令人不齒,我等恥與為伍。
我校創校先賢正是懷着對自由的渴求、追求真理的精神,千辛萬苦創建了中大,作為中大學生,我等定必竭力捍衛我城之自由,以一己努力改革社會,不辜負前人的期許。

In a Legislative Council meeting on 26 June, CUHK alumna Ms. Leung Mei-fun Priscilla claimed that the Chinese University of Hong Kong is a “university for Chinese people”, and “anything against national interests is also against the spirit of CUHK”. We strongly condemn Ms. Leung’s distortion of CUHK’s history as well as her disrespect for the CUHK spirit.
Our school was named “the Chinese University of Hong Kong” because it took the promotion of Chinese culture as its responsibility, with the objective of elevating the status of Chinese as a language in the colonial times. Founding Vice-Chancellor Dr. Li Choh-Ming explained this in 1978, at the 19th CUHK Congregation for the Conferment of Degrees, that the Chinese University of Hong Kong is a university that promotes Chinese culture, and ‘Chinese’ in this context has not in the slightest to do with People’s Republic of China established by Chinese communists. After 1949, a large number of refugees flooded to Hong Kong in order to escape the northern communist regime, including founders of CUHK. They specifically established CUHK so as to withstand Chinese Communist cultural invasion, hoping to preserve the lifeline of the Chinese culture. New Asia College founder Dr. Chi’en Mu described CUHK as “the final seed of the Chinese culture drifted to the soil of Hong Kong”. Therefore, CUHK is nothing close to what Ms. Leung claimed to be as an institution protecting the national interests of the People’s Republic of China. In contrast, CUHK was established to fight against Chinese communism.
As an alumna of CUHK, as well as former United College Student’s Union President and former CUSU committee member, it is absolutely disgraceful how ignorant Ms. Leung is. Her false and loathsome claims were terrible insults to our founders. One loses one’s respect from others because one has no respect for oneself. As CUHKers, we strongly condemn Ms. Leung for her idiotic comments, and are shameful to have her as a Legislative Councillor.
CUHK strived to promote the spirit of humanism and social consciousness over the years, nurturing generations of CUHKers who love Hong Kong and participate in social movements, including the “No Extradition to China Movement” taking place at the moment. CUHKers have never been absent in these events, which demonstrates the courage and willingness of CUHKers to protect and contribute to their home. Despite so, it is unfortunate that the likes of Ms. Leung exist among us, wagging her tail begging for mercy from a tyrannical regime.
The founders of CUHK established our alma mater seeking for freedom and longing for truth, CUHK students should do whatever it takes to protect our freedom, so as to meet our predecessor’s expectations.
