Simplicity（章節(jié)）
Perhaps a sentence is so excessively cluttered that the reader, hacking through the verbiage, simply doesn’t know what it means.
Clutter
By using a more pompous phrase in his professional role he not only sounds more important; he blunts the painful edge of truth.
Clutter is the ponderous euphemism that turns a slum into a depressed socioeconomic area, garbage collectors into waste- disposal personnel and the town dump into the volume reduction unit.
Don’t inflate what needs no inflating.
My reason for bracketing the students’ superfluous words, instead of crossing them out, was to avoid violating their sacred prose.
Is anything pompous or pretentious or faddish? Are you hanging on to something useless just because you think it’s beautiful?
Style
So much for early warnings about the bloated monsters that lie in ambush for the writer trying to put together a clean English sentence.
You will reach for gaudy similes and tinseled adjectives, as if“style”were something you could buy at the style store and drape onto your words in bright decorator colors.
This is the problem of writers who set out deliberately to garnish their prose.
The reader will notice if you are putting on airs.
Not only are those first paragraphs impersonal and ornate; they don’t say anything—they are a self-conscious attempt at a fancy prologue.
The audience
Other old writers ramble and repeat themselves; their style is the tip-off that they have turned into garrulous bores.
It avoids the pretentiousness that infects so much writing by people doing worthy work.
