三天前开始看，现在的感觉是，我真是闲的啊

高中被折磨得死去活来的这些短语都是中式英语

功利点来讲，知道这些也没什么用吧，各种考试、作文中还是在大量使用中式英语，并且中式表达还能增加字数 呢

我也感觉你好像这钱花的不值。不管怎么，把自己要表达的表达清楚就好了。逻辑清晰，用词合理。多读多听，积累别人好的表达方式 ，慢慢就好了。那书的作者纯属圈钱的

“You probably should delete all intensive adverbs—very, really, truly, actually, and the like. If you've chosen the right word, adding a very defeats your purpose. If you haven't got the right word, the very offers poor compensation. Readers pay no attention to this overused word. If you want to put a very in front of a large, you should consider substituting enormous, huge, gigantic, or massive.... [The intensive adverbs] attenuate rather than strengthen. Consider really terrific, absolutely stunning, truly sensational, extremely vital, and very devastating. The adverbs reduce powerful adjectives to conversational gush, depriving them of their stark force. Almost all writers succumb to these trivializing intensives. Be on guard. ”
这里说了不应该使用 very, really, truly, actually这些加强语气的副词，如果用上它们只会削弱动词的力量，一个动词就够了。如果想表达程度更深一点的意思，直接选个合适的实词，比如想表达比large还大的意思就用 enormous, huge, gigantic, or massive 这些词替换，而不是说成very large.

这本书挺好的，教你怎么写好作文。
