序言 《英语写作手册》第一版于1984年出版，1994年我们曾对全书做了较大程度的修订，承高校英语专业师生及自学者喜爱，发行量超过100余万册。自上次修订后至今又过了14年，其间我们收到许多师生的来信，对本书提出了十分宝贵的批评与建议，同时，不断有读者要求我们为练习提供答案。
这次修订的《英语写作手册》，我们一方面保持原书实用、范例多、结合中国读者实际等特点，同时采纳了广大师生的意见，做了以下补充、修改：
一、对原书内容全面更新，如词典部分尽可能提供最新版本的信息，论文部分采用国外英语论文通用的格式，实用英语部分增加了写电子邮件的内容，段落和作文部分的范文增加了分析等。二、经过修订，《英语写作手册》的篇幅增加不少，其中主要的是新增的大量练习和部分参考答案。练习分Tasks和Assignments两种，前者供课上使用，后者为课后作业。写作课是实践课，要想写得好，只有多练。为了便于自学，我们提供了部分答案。需要特别指出的是答案仅供“参考”，读者的答案和书中的不同，往往并非有错。我们希望学习者细心体会的是，句式和选词不同，表达的意思也会有差别。比较好的学习方法或许是和老师、同学相互切磋，共同提高。三、我们在书后除原有的“批改／校对符号”外，增加了“写作错误统计表”；前者是为了教师批改作业更规范化，后者有助于学生了解自己的问题，以便有针对性地逐一解决。错误表格分三档：第一档的错误属技术性问题，学生只要细心些、多查词典就可克服；第二档属于基本功问题，这类错误应该注意尽快消灭；第三档的问题是需要长期关注逐步提高的。学生应该从第一档开始，力争做到只剩下第三档的问题。

Diction is the choice and use of words. The English language has a very large vocabulary: asmany as 400,000 words are collected in the Oxford English Dictionary. Of course no one knowsor need to use so many words. Only a small part of them are used by ordinary people for ordinarypurposes. Students learning to write should learn to use the words that are most useful and mostoften used to express themselves. Sometimes one may use the wrong words, but more often thewords one uses are not entirely wrong, but inappropriate, inexact, unidiomatic or uninteresting. Abasic knowledge of diction may be of help.
The words that are often used may be divided, from a stylistic point ot-view, into mree types:formal, common, and informal.
Formal words may also be called learned words, or literary words, or "big" words. Theymainly appear in fonrml writing, such as scholarly or theoretical works, political and legaldocuments, and formal lectures and addresses. Many such words contain three or more than threesyllables; most of them are of Greek or Latin origin. They are seldom used in daily conversation,except for special purposes. Here is a paragraph from a scholarly paper which contains some ofthe features of formal English:
There is nothing new in the recognition, within a given language, of a distinction between common usage and uses of the language for more restricted purposes and often enough, perhaps
characteristically, more elevated purposes. The monolithic nature of English is not questioned when literary essayists like Emerson contrast poetry and common speech. The latter is recognized in America to be the proper subject for the investigation of linguists who, however, now show some incipient inclination to investigate poetry, too, and other noncasual utterances in a given language.
