6. Avoid using jargon as much as possible.

　　盡量避免使用行話。

　　Not everyone in your audience will know what a "bull market” is. Not everyone knows that "pyrexia” is basically the same thing as "a fever”。 And surely you can come up with a better term for high blood pressure than "hypertension”?

　　不是每個讀者都知道“牛市”是什么。不是每個人都知道“pyrexia” (注：發熱的臨床用語)和“fever”基本上是一個意思。當然，你可以造一個比“hypertension”更好的詞來表示高血壓。

　　7. In terms of words， size matters.

　　詞的長短也很重要。

　　Please， don't strain yourself by browsing the Internet， looking for complicated and fancy-sounding words. Less is always more.

　　請不要讓自己忙于瀏覽互聯網來尋找復雜及花哨的詞。少即是多。

　　示例：

　　- The man gave me a look so sharp that I sincerely believed it could pierce my heart and see my innermost fears.

　　-那名男子看我的眼神如此的犀利，我真的相信它能刺穿我的心，看清我內心的恐懼。

　　- Better: The man glared at me.

　　更好的寫法：那名男子瞪著我。

　　8. Being positive is better than being negative–even in writing!

　　肯定比否定要更好——即使在寫作中!

　　示例：

　　- I did not think that the unbelievable would not occur.

　　-我不認為令人難以置信的事情不會發生。

　　- Better: I thought the unbelievable would happen.

　　-更好的寫法：我認為令人難以置信的事情是會發生的。

　　9. Set aside time for revising and rewriting–after you've written the whole content.

　　留下時間來修改和重寫——在你寫完全部內容后。

　　I'm not suggesting that you should edit each time you've finished a paragraph–that would just be tedious. What I'm telling is that you should first give yourself some time to finish the content prior to editing. Write away. Don't edit yet. Don't focus on the grammar yet. Don't worry about the syntax， the synonym， the antonym or the order that you're using.

　　我不是建議你每次寫完一段話就修改一下——那樣會很乏味。我建議你在編輯之前，應該給自己一些時間來完成寫作的內容。寫下來。先不要編輯。不要注重語法。不要擔心語法、同義詞、反義詞或你用詞的順序。

　　Write for yourself， but mostly， write for your target audience. Write the message clearly and don't be afraid to express your thoughts. Don't censor yourself yet. Let the words flow. Don't erase what you've written yet.

　　為你自己寫作，但最重要的是，為你的目標受眾寫作。把內容清晰地寫下來，不要害怕表達自己的思想。不要審查自己。讓你的文字流動。先不要刪除你所寫的內容。

　　All the editing and the fixing will come later.

　　編輯內容和調整內容可以稍后進行。

　　10. Write. All the time.

　　寫下來。每時每刻。

　　Good writing is simply always writing. Write when you're sad. Write when you're scared. Write when you don't feel like writing.

　　好的寫作技巧就是一直在寫。悲傷時去寫，害怕時去寫，不想寫的時候還要寫。
