多年前 iPhone 6 剛出品時
英國專業評論家 Evan Kypreos
寫了一篇字字珠璣的產品評論
獲得極高的點閱率和討論度
是用文字發揮強大影響力的一個例子
讓我們一起來觀摩幾個精彩的句子:
1️⃣ The iPhone 6 opts for soft curves and seamless joins between the screen and the back.
(iPhone 6 選擇了柔和曲線,螢幕和背面一體成型。)
👉 動詞用了 opt (v.) 選擇,在視覺上或發音上都簡短有力
👉 seam 指「縫隙」,因此 seamless 意即「無縫隙的」
👉 把 join 轉為名詞用,意指「結合(處)」
👉 第一句就可看出作者對英文詞性強大的駕馭功力
2️⃣ As always with Apple’s phones the iPhone 6 has superb balance, it just feels right in your hand.
(一如其他蘋果手機,iPhone 6 的平衡也相當突出,手感相當卓越。)
👉 句首用 as always with 三字簡單推一下蘋果先前的作品
👉 superb (卓越、超凡)這個字選得非常好,比使用其他形容詞最高級更為精準有力
👉 句尾使用較口語的用法 feel right in your hand,讓文風活潑些
3️⃣ The 6.9mm thickness makes it feel sleek yet strong.
(6.9 mm 的厚度使它既雅緻,又耐用。)
👉 英文評論或文宣很強調「數據」或「資訊」,而這個句子完美帶入確切的數據,提升讀者的信任感
👉 iPhone 6 的厚度比前幾代都還薄,但與其用 thin 這個比較平凡的字,作者選了 sleek,把「薄」轉成一種正面的印象(雅緻),別具巧思
👉 sleek 和 strong 都是 s 開頭,押頭韻,能加深讀者的印象
讀到這裡,大家是否覺得十分驚艷呢?
好的英文寫手,都如這位專家一般
能把精湛的寫作技巧和縝密的思維
用兩三個句子就表達得淋漓盡致!

[文法與詞彙Q&A] although, but, yet, even though, though, whereas, despite, in spite of 的區別
A. 表示「雖然、儘管、但是」
1. although, but, yet
-In theory it seems like a good idea, but I don’t think it’ll work in practice.
-In theory it seems like a good idea, although I don’t think it’ll work in practice.
-Although it seems like a good idea, I don’t think it will work in practice.
※注意:although, but 兩者只能取其一,不能同時並用
Although it seems like a good idea, but I don’t think it will work in practice. (X)
※ 亦可用 still、anyway (依然、還是) 來加強but, although的語氣
I wasn’t feeling very well, but I still went to work.
I wasn’t feeling very well, but I went to work anyway.
I still went to work, although I wasn’t feeling very well.
Although I wasn’t feeling very well, I went to work anyway.
※亦可用yet來替代 but
It’s a simple yet very effective system.
In theory it seems like a good idea, (and) yet I don’t think it’ll work in practice.
Used as a conjunction, "yet" is similar in meaning to "but," but it has a stronger effect on the reader or listener. There is perhaps more of a surprise associated with the former statement. Note that you can put "and" in front of "yet" when it comes at the beginning of a clause, but of course this is not possible with "but," so you can write the following sentence:
"The cyclists were tired and hungry, all but exhausted, (and) yet they refused to give up in their attempt to finish the race."

--------------------------------------------------
2. though, even though
though 比較口語,意思與although同,但though 可以放在句尾(當副詞用)
-Though he has lived for years in London, he writes in French. (雖然)—連接詞
-He has lived for years in London. He writes in French, though. (不過、但是)--副詞
even though (即便、儘管)用法與although 同, 語氣更強烈
-Even though I wasn’t feeling very well, I still went to work.
=========================
B. 表示「而、卻、反之」(對照比較之用)
-Indonesia has a lot of natural resources, whereas Singapore has none.
-Whereas Indonesia has a lot of natural resources, Singapore has none.
※ although 與 whereas 的比較
although 含有驚訝的意味 (通常是第二個子句所透漏的訊息令人意外) We had a reasonable year in Asia, although sales fell a little in Japan.
Although sales fell a little in Japan, we had a reasonable year in the rest of Asia.
Whereas 則強調對照,驚訝意味並不濃
We had a reasonable year in Asia, whereas sales in Europe were quite disappointing.
※ while 的用法
Inflation rose by 3% last year, while house prices went up 6%. (=whereas)
While there are still some issues to resolve, I think we should go ahead. (=although)
=========================
C. despite/in spite of 的用法
despite 與 in spite of 意思同 although,但是用法不同;although 是連接詞,後面可接子句,despite/in spite of 為介係詞,後面必須接名詞或動名詞
Although sales increased, profits fell.
Despite the increase in sales, profits fell.
Although I was ill, I went to work.
In spite of my illness, I went to work.
Despite my illness, I went to work.
In spite of feeling ill, I went to work.
Despite feeling ill, I went to work.
Despite I felt ill, I went to work. (X)
