Music Club
【趙教授批改】
(1)Members are wanted改為New members are wanted。但這種寫(xiě)法,以及后面的Those interested can sign up... 讀起來(lái)顯得比較impersonal,不夠親切。用被動(dòng)式就會(huì)產(chǎn)生這種效果。另外,be wanted讓人聯(lián)想到“緝拿”(英語(yǔ)國(guó)家通緝罪犯的布告就用這個(gè)表達(dá));建議改為New members are welcome to our Music Club!
(2)Basic requirements for member are改為Basic requirements for successful candidates include. 因?yàn)閙ember指已經(jīng)是成員了,而successful candidates指即將成功地作為成員。
(3)requirement指a quality or qualification that one must have in order to be allowed to do something or to be suitable for something(做某事或適合做某事的必備條件,包括品質(zhì)、素質(zhì)、資格、能力等),但enthusiasm是指情感,不是品質(zhì)或能力。這句話可以改為Basic requirements for successful candidates include the capacity of playing at least one kind of music instruments, plus enthusiasm in music.
(4)這句話用了兩個(gè)range,屬于贅述(redundancy),改為participate in activities ranging from... 或participate in a wide range of activities from… to...;另外,various music改為various music works/pieces.
(5)every的意思是“所有人(沒(méi)有例外)”(each and all of the members of a group considered singly and without exception),語(yǔ)氣有強(qiáng)迫之嫌,改為Anyone qualified is welcome to join us.
【總結(jié)】
這則啟事寫(xiě)得不錯(cuò),清楚明了,幾個(gè)要點(diǎn)都寫(xiě)到了。存在的問(wèn)題主要在語(yǔ)言上,如用詞須更準(zhǔn)確、避免贅述等。
