如何写出思路清晰的好文章？这些小技巧帮你实现

Have you ever finished reading a piece of writing and then felt totally baffled about the intended meaning?  Sometimes this is a sign that you are reading an advanced textbook, but sometimes this is a sign you're just reading unclear writing!
你是否有这样的经历，阅读完成一些作品后对其想要表达的含义摸不着头脑？遇到这种情况，可能是提示你正在阅读一本深奥的书籍，也有可能是这些作品的思路本身是不清晰的。
Bad writing is unkempt. It is disorganized and inappropriately decorated. It includes a lot of flashy words that just don’t fit.
质量差的写作是不整洁的。文章的修饰是无组织或不恰当的。文章中包含很多华丽的词汇却使用不得当。
The seven rules below will help you identify and create organized, clear writing that leaves the reader informed and satisfied.
这七条规则可以帮助你鉴别和创作有组织的结构清晰的文章，使读者更容易理解。
1. Say what you mean 说出你想表达的含义
Overly fancy words are not necessarily direct words, and they often fail to state your point clearly.
使用过多奇幻的词汇是不必要的，并且这些词汇可能会干扰你清晰地表达自己的观点。
You should certainly be willing to improve your vocabulary, but there is an art to doing this without sounding like you’re trying a bit too hard. If you find that your writing sounds too vague or elementary, you must avoid going overboard with fancy-sounding words and, instead, try to find more precise words.
对于这种情况，你当然应该提高词汇量,这里有一种听起来不太费力的方法可以改善这个问题。如果你发现你的写作听起来太过含糊或基础，你必须避免过量使用听起来不切实际的词语,相反,试着使用更的词语。
2. Give your readers a road map 为读者提供引导图
Our brains like to receive messages in a tidy order. They don’t like to be surprised by a big point – which is why introductory statements are important. When writing, it is generally a good idea to start broad and provide an overview of the information to come. But don’t worry so much about this on your first draft.
我们的大脑喜欢接受有次序的信息，而不是无序杂乱的信息，因此引言是非常重要的。在写作时，从整体的角度对全文的信息做一个概述是个不错的想法。但在写初稿时可以先不考虑概述。
You should never expect to write all of your messages in the correct order on the very first try – no matter what type of messages you are writing. You can reorder paragraphs and sentences for your final draft.
在写初稿时，不论是哪种文章，我们都不能保证次写作就将文章顺序一次调整好。可以在之后的修改当中重新调整段落和句子的顺序。
