Unit 2

Paraphrasing

1….the wider the range of our life and the more various the contacts we have, the wider and suppler must be our command over a range of English styles, each of which we know how to use consistently.

The richer life experience we have and the more people from all walks of life we know, we will develop more extensive and flexible knowledge of different English styles and the ability to use each style appropriately when the occasion arises.

2. A haphazard knowledge of several styles may be worse than useless if we do not know the type of occasion on which each is appropriate, or if we do not know when we are sliding from one to another.

If we do not know when to use each style appropriately, or if we confuse one style with another inappropriately, an unsystematic and casual knowledge of style is if on use, or even worse.

7. Some euphemisms, too, are sufficiently offbeat to be funny.

Some euphemisms are unusual enough to be funny. They are so unusual that they become auite funny.

8. Examples of gross understatement may also appeal to some of us.

Some people may also like extreme understatement. Translation
