How to Simplify

简化方法

  1. Identify the core meaning — What is this actually saying?
  2. Strip jargon — Replace technical terms with plain equivalents, or define them briefly on first use.
  3. Shorten sentences — Break long, complex sentences into shorter ones.
  4. Use concrete language — Swap abstractions for specific examples.
  5. Front-load the point — Lead with the main idea, then explain.
  6. Preserve precision — Don't oversimplify to the point of inaccuracy.
  1. 明确核心含义 — 这段内容实际要表达的是什么?
  2. 去除行话术语 — 用通俗的对应表达替换专业术语,或在首次出现时简要定义。
  3. 缩短句子长度 — 将冗长复杂的句子拆分为更短的句子。
  4. 使用具体语言 — 用具体例子替代抽象表述。
  5. 核心观点前置 — 先抛出主要观点,再进行解释说明。
  6. 保留内容准确性 — 不要因过度简化导致内容失真。

Principles

原则

  • Short words over long — "use" not "utilize," "help" not "facilitate"
  • Active over passive — "We built" not "It was built by us"
  • One idea per sentence — Break up compound ideas
  • Concrete over abstract — "a 10% increase" not "significant growth"
  • Reader-first — Write for someone encountering this idea for the first time
  • 优先使用短词 — 例如用「use」而非「utilize」,用「help」而非「facilitate」
  • 主动语态优于被动语态 — 例如用「We built」而非「It was built by us」
  • 每句仅表达一个观点 — 拆分包含复合含义的句子
  • 具体表述优于抽象表述 — 例如用「a 10% increase」而非「significant growth」
  • 以读者为中心 — 为首次接触该观点的读者撰写内容
