狐貍打字法

OMG,、THX和朋友聊MSN或是發(fā)短信時你是否會常常用到這些英語縮略語,？當下的年輕人們可不會笨笨的一個詞一個詞的把一句話說完， 對于那些常用語,，他們發(fā)明了自己的一套簡寫方式,，一起來看看吧！

Abbreviations, or short forms of words and phrases, are quite common in English. They are particularly common in electronic communication such as emails, texting, messaging on social media, and so on. One of the reasons written abbreviations are so common isbecause they are quicker to type than full words. So they save time and we all like to save time, right? Knowing common English abbreviations is important for understanding, of course, but learning to use them yourself is also a great way to add new vocabulary to your repertoire. Just keep in mind that abbreviations are definitely informal English and best used with friends and family, but not in formal school or business writing.

縮寫(或單詞和詞組的縮短形式)在英文中是非常常見的,。尤其是在一些電子交流方式的社交媒體上,，如郵件，短信,，留言等等,。書面縮寫存在的其中一條重要原因就是它跟全拼整個單詞比起來更便捷。因此,，它為我們節(jié)省了時間,，誰不喜歡節(jié)省時間呢?當然，了解一些常用的英文縮寫是非常有助于理解的,，但是學會運用縮略語更是給你的詞匯量增加動力,。你只要記住，縮略語是非正式用語,，最好用于朋友和家人之間,，而不是正規(guī)的學校或商務寫作中,。

Note: Abbreviations traditionally are written in all capital letters in English, like acronyms, but when they are used in texting, chat rooms, or on social media they are more commonly written in all lowercase letters. Using either all capital letters, or all lower case letters, is fine.

注：英文縮略語通常都是大寫字母組成,，就像首字母縮略詞一樣,，但是當用于發(fā)短信,，聊天室或社交媒體上時他們往往是用小寫字母的�,？傊�,，用大寫或小寫都可以了。
