Ø 2. Ditch flowery language（不要使用太过华丽的语言）
Avoid using “words that sound smart.” Keep things clear, simple, and concise. （语言不要太过华丽，要保持清晰，简单和明了。）
For example（比如）:
Version 1: Some errant but well-intentioned scribes, in a wayward attempt to imbue their words with as much of Newton’s force as their scribbling digits can muster, deploy innumerable adjectives of rare and curious vintage, all in the Sisyphean hope that the ones who ultimately feast their eyes upon their assembled lexis might not remark on the absence of quality in the burning light of quantity. Alas, their heroic efforts often have all the utility of a fine mesh door on an undersea submersible.
Version 2：Some writers use as many adjectives as possible to try to make their writing sound better. This is usually as useful as a screen door on a submarine.
Analysis: Version 1 不仅句式复杂，单词冗余，而且语言表达过于华丽，相比之下，Version 2 句式简单明了，可以更加清楚地传达作者的核心思想。
