A teacher asked students to rewrite a 1500-word article to 500 words. Later,when the teacher read Scott's article,he asked,"Why did you write 45-meter-high building into 15 meters,6 cars into 2 cars,and 3 people into 1 person"
Scott said,"I shrank them based on strict proportions."
老師要求同學(xué)們把一篇 1500 字的文章縮寫(xiě)成 500 字。 老師看了斯科特的作文以后問(wèn):"你怎么把45米高的建筑物寫(xiě)成了15米,6輛汽車寫(xiě)成了2輛,3個(gè)人寫(xiě)成了1個(gè)人?"
斯科特答:"我是嚴(yán)格按比例縮小的。"
