避免使用名词作形容词
用名词来形容名词是中式英语中常见的现象。看到名词堆砌的句子很头疼,就是一堆名词,搞不清句子到底要强调什么。解决这一问题总的原则是要理清这一堆名词之间的关系,主要有四种解决办法:
1. 转化为“动宾结构”(one of them can be converted into another part of speech )
例如: soil erosion control----> to control soil erosion
2. 加介词(a preposition is introduced to show the connection between the )
例如: research topic selection -----> the selection of research topics
3. 加连字符
例如:mobile phone users ------> mobile-phone users 或 users of mobile phones .
4.做解释(to add a few word to spell out the meaning )
