英文写作手册中文翻译(12)

母写的比小写字母更大更高，a与o不同，n与u不同，不该忘记写i和 j的圆点，或让t十字交叉。逗号后应该留一个小空格（大约一个字母），句号后留更大一点的空格（大约两个字母）。

When we want to cross out a word, we should draw a thick line through it. It is be misleading to put it between brackets, because that means the word is an explanatory remark. When we want to add a word, we should write it above, not below, the line of words we have written with a clear sign showing where it is to be inserted.

当我们要划掉一个词，应该从头到尾画一条粗线。把它放到方括号中有误导之嫌，因为那意味着这个词是一个解释性的备注。当我们要补充一个词，应该写在一行之上，不是之下，已写好的这行字要加一个明确的符号表明那里被插入。
