陷阱
⚠️brief(形容词)vs. concise(形容词)——时间短 vs. 表达精炼
The executive summary should be concise, covering the main findings in no more than one page.
concise = brief(两者一样,可互换)
concise(简洁,强调「内容精炼、无冗余」:a concise report = 简洁的报告,侧重质量);brief(简短,强调「时间/篇幅短」:a brief report = 简短的报告,侧重数量/长度);a concise one-page summary 强调「精炼、不废话」,用 concise 更准确;两者在很多语境可互换,但 concise 更强调质量,brief 更强调量/时间
执行摘要应该简洁,在不超过一页的篇幅内涵盖主要发现。(concise = 内容精炼;brief = 篇幅/时间短)
⚠️briefing(情况介绍)vs. meeting(会议)
The minister held a meeting with journalists to update them on the government's response to the crisis.
部长举行了一次新闻发布会,向记者通报政府对危机的应对情况。(× meeting → ✓ press briefing,专指通报情况的会议)
专门向记者通报情况的会议用 press briefing(新闻发布会)或 briefing;meeting 泛指任何会议,没有「汇报/说明」的专业含义;语境「update journalists on the response」强烈提示 press briefing
The minister held a press briefing with journalists to update them on the government's response to the crisis.
部长举行了一次新闻发布会,向记者通报政府对危机的应对情况。
