22｜paraphrase：跨越阅读和写作两项技能的练习法

之前听说过，有人把英文作品的汉译本翻译回英文，然后去比较用词和句式上的差别，这个是需要时间去磨砺的真功夫，我没有试过。 以前小学语文阶段似乎也有改写，不过似乎并没有强调改写的重要性。与之对应的还有复述，应该是很好的练习口语的方法。 专栏里面的示例 paraphrase 的相对简单一些，而文末链接中给出的“改写”，要求不看原文，并且消除相似的句式，难度更大一些。 试着改写一下文中改写过的版本： The third myth seems easy to understand — if engineers were so creative, why not they become artists? This assumption is wrong! To create is the essence of creativity. Engineers create products, services and many things that affect everyone’s daily life. Whatever engineers created, many people use them. If engineers aren’t creative, they could not solve the problems that we faced in the real world. Engineers need to solve fresh problems in various environments. They have a lot of chances to make new tools and create novel products, moreover, they produce an innovative world. It is clear that the engineer needs to have creativity. In the healthcare industry, engineers analyze health data and develop software, even make surgery machines, provide treatment tracking and recommendations, all of these original things can help many patients.

The third myth seems easy to understand - the essence of creativity is to create! The engineers not need to be artists, writers, or entered professions like paintings or sculpture. Engineers create products, services, and processes that affect people every day. Their final result of engineering work is used by other people like create consumer applications, devices, or machines. Enginners did not prevenet their creativity from developing, so they have the chance to have a clear understanding of ways to solve problems than they otherwise would. Every day, engineers need to find new ways to deal with new problems. Engineers have the wonderful opportunity and huge responsibility of imagining ways. The world could be different and then creating ways to make that happen. That is the most important part of creativity and it encourages engineers to do great things.For example, engineering innovations have truly saves lives daily.From data analysis to efficient software systems, to surgery machines, to providing treatment tracking and recommendations. 我围绕更清楚明白去做 paraphrase. 觉得应该把长句改短句，双重否定反问句改陈述句，先说结论再说例子。但我觉得第二段改得很牵强，因为我觉得原本得句法结构也不复杂。 paraphrase 也可以理解为洗稿吗🤔

回想起读书时英语课上老师讲过cliche，由于我们词汇量少，写作时相同的意思大家用词和表达都基本差不多，老师看得很单调和无趣。这节课教的paraphrase，要能够训练用不同词和不同的语法来表达相同的意思
