你说烟雨微芒,兰亭远望;
后来轻揽婆娑,深遮霓裳。
你说春光烂漫,绿袖红香;
后来内掩西楼,静立卿旁。

我却眼波微转,兀自成霜。

君乐雨兮启伞枝,
君乐昼兮林蔽日,
君乐风兮栏帐起,
君乐吾兮吾心噬。
When translating English into Chinese, we need to think over and choose the best words and sentences to fully and exactly express its original meanings . The same is true when we translate Chinese sentences into English. If we can translate each sentence well, then the whole essay will be a good one. But that's not enough. We should make a better one in order to get a higher mark. So how?
Let's look at the following two compositions .
Which one do you like better?
Think over and give me your reasons.
From what you say ,we can conclude that a better composition should have more advanced vocabulary and sentence structures instead of simple ones. So are you eager to improve your vocabulary and sentence structures in your writing ?

在写作文时,我们要力求要选用高级词汇和复杂句式,体现我们对词汇及句式的掌握程度和我们的英语水平。但不能句句都那么做,否则,会显得太刻意,又让评卷老师反感。并且,在给定要点较多的情况下,我们要考虑到字数的要求。所以在该简洁明了的时候,我们就不要去追求长句子。
