使生活更简单轻松的日常习惯

可可电台

Write shorter emails.

邮件简洁精炼。

I tend to write emails containing only a few sentences, usually between one and five. In some cases I write more of course. But keeping this guideline in mind cuts down on the time and energy is spend on processing emails.

我写的邮件话都不多,一般不超过五句。当然,偶尔也会发封长邮件,但我一直谨记这个原则,尽量缩短处理邮件的时间和精力。

Be 10 or 5 minutes early for meetings and appointments.

开会或约会时早到5-10分钟。

This will help you to make your time of travel into a sort of break and a time of relaxation. Instead of it being another thing that ramps up the stress. And you will not be late.

这能为你争取一点休息和放松的时间,而且你不会紧张兮兮或迟到。


【知识点讲解】

Instead of (用…)代替…, (是…)而不是…, (用…)而不用…

例句:

I made this cake specially, with brown sugar instead of white.

我特别地以红糖代替白糖做了这个蛋糕。

I gave him advice instead of money.

我给了他忠告,而不是钱。

The economy is shrinking instead of growing.

经济正在萎缩而不是在增长中。
