Slang
俚語
We often use slang expressions when we talk, because they are so vivid and colorful. However, they are usually out of place in formal writing because of a number of drawbacks. They go out of date quickly and become tiresome if used too much. And they may communicate clearly to some readers but not to others. In general, we should avoid the use of slang in our writing.
我們說話時會經常使用俚語,因為俚語很生動、很豐富多彩。不過由于一些缺點,我們在正式寫作中通常不會使用它們。它們很快就會過時,而且如果使用過多就會變得令人反感。并且一些讀者能理解其意義,但另一些則不能。一般情況下,我們應該避免在寫作中使用俚語。
