以下是帮同学写的作业，题目是比较两样东西 限制为两个A4以内 很久没写作文，不是很有手感 不晓得大家觉得如何，随便说说无妨 any comments are welcome~^^~ There are several genres in English writing, two of which I often read are newspaper and manga. Newspaper, with easy access in every convenience store, is literally a formal writing, while manga, substantially proffered in numerous websites, is by contrast an informal writing. The articles in newspaper tend to be divided in several paragraphs, most of which are composed of just one sentence, some by applying participle phrasing, others by appositives, and still others by interposing another sentence quoted from another speaker. For example, in the daily paper published on February 26, 2011, on the front page we can read “Lu was skeptical of the process yesterday, saying it was not that easy for all the DPP factions to discuss and coordinate and agree on a candidate.” While most of the sentences in the newspaper are complex sentences, or even compound-complex sentences, most of the sentences in manga are simple sentences, such as “You are really a sharp guy, Hodi!” one quoted in most-loved popular manga among people young and old “One Piece.” Sentences in the newspaper are copious, verbose, and containing much to convey to its reader; sentences in manga, on the other hand, are comparatively brief, concise, and often conveying simply an idea, or even, an exclamation. Second, the wording in the newspaper is more formal than that in manga. In the newspaper, such a sentence as “How could they not enjoy the media limelight,” in manga, you will read “How could they not enjoy the rush of being stared at.” “She said both the Chineses Nationalist Party and the Democratic Progressive Party, to which she belongs, mishandled the incident” , in such a sentence in the newspaper, the word “mishandled” may be replaced with “messed up.” Likewise, in still another sentence “Lu was skeptical of the process yesterday” may probably be superseded in manga with “The process yesterday looks fishy to Lu.” Such informal usages predominate manga, which poses a conspicuous difference from those in the newspaper. Last, sentences in the newspaper prone to be inserted as much information about the subject in question; the phenomenon as such is hardly seen in manga. In newspaper, for instance, a sentence like “Lu, who was former president Chen Shui-bian’s running mate in 2000 and 2004, said she was prompted to enter the campaign,” may be paraphrased in manga as “Lu was former president Chen Shui-bian’s running mate in 2000 and 2004. She said she was promped to enter the campaign.” In other words, newspaper shows manifest proclivity towards usages of inserting as much information in one sentence than manga. As newspaper is a means of written mass media, its wording is formal, lengthy, and informative. Manga, in comparison to newspaper, is rather informal, terse, and, with its main purpose of arousing readers interest, senseless. 谢谢有耐心看完的人~^^ -- --
