v.(動詞)

shorten, abbreviate, abridge, condense, contract

這組詞用于字詞、段落、章節等時,都含有“刪減”或“精簡”的意思。它們的區別在于:

1.abridge, condense和shorten都可指壓縮文章、著作的篇幅而內容不變, abridge比shorten更文雅; abbreviate主要用于刪除音節、字母或單詞而保留詞頭; contract通常指省略單詞的中間部分,不包括只保留詞頭的詞。

2.表示“縮略成…”時, abbreviate, condense, contract和shorten常與介詞to搭配; condense也常與介詞into搭配。
