        v.(动词)

        shorten, abbreviate, abridge, condense, contract

        这组词用于字词、段落、章节等时,都含有“删减”或“精简”的意思。它们的区别在于:

        1.abridge, condense和shorten都可指压缩文章、著作的篇幅而内容不变, abridge比shorten更文雅; abbreviate主要用于删除音节、字母或单词而保留词头; contract通常指省略单词的中间部分,不包括只保留词头的词。

        2.表示“缩略成…”时, abbreviate, condense, contract和shorten常与介词to搭配; condense也常与介词into搭配。
