文章品質的提升之外,若有一點點「文采」的話,也許更好,
以下是我這學期修一堂論文寫作課的一個教材閱讀內容:
The Gift of an Orange
When an ordinary person wants to give an orange to another, he would
merely say, “I give you this orange.” But, when a lawyer does it,
she says it this way:
Know all men by these present that I hereby give, grant, bargain, sell,
release, convey, transfer, and quitclaim all my right, little, interest,
benefit, and use whatever in, of, and concerning this chattel,
otherwise known as an orange or citrus orantium, together with all the
appurtenances thereto of skin, pulp, pip, rind, seeds, and juice,
to have and to hold said orange together with its skin, pulp, pip,
rind, seeds, and juice, for his own use and behoove, to himself and his
heirs in fee simple forever, free from all liens, encumbrances,
easements, limitations, restraints, or conditions whatsoever, now or
anywhere made to the contrary notwithstanding, with full power to bite,
cut, suck, or otherwise eat the said orange or to give away the same,
with or without its skin, pulp, pip, rind, seeds, or juice.
