定义 / 说明
名词化(nominalisation)把动作、过程、性质转成名词,是学术、法律、政策写作的重要特征。高密度名词短语通过前后修饰压缩大量信息,使文体更正式、抽象、紧凑。但过度名词化会让文本沉重、难读。C2 能力不只是在“能写密集结构”,还在“知道何时应为清晰而简化”。
关键规则
- 用 nominalisation 提升抽象与正式度:decide -> decision, reject -> rejection。
- 谨慎构建 dense noun phrases:rapid policy implementation, long-term budget planning process。
- 检查可读性,信息密度不能以牺牲清晰为代价。
- 名词化适合 academic/professional 写作,日常口语常不自然。
- 当清晰度更重要时,优先动词型表达。
例句
- The rejection of the proposal caused delays. - 对该提案的否决导致了延误。
- Rapid policy implementation requires strong planning. - 快速政策实施需要强有力规划。
- The report discussed market expansion strategies. - 报告讨论了市场扩张策略。
- Their failure to respond increased public concern. - 他们未作回应加剧了公众担忧。
- We need a clearer data protection policy. - 我们需要更清晰的数据保护政策。
常见错误
- ❌ The reject of the proposal caused delays. -> ✅ The rejection of the proposal caused delays.
- ❌ Rapidly policy implementation requires planning. -> ✅ Rapid policy implementation requires planning.
- ❌ Their fail to respond increased concern. -> ✅ Their failure to respond increased concern.
提示
- 编辑时可问:这处名词能否还原为动词? 然后比较哪种在当前语境更清晰。
