Mr. Du:

An article said: "The small trees that grow green leaves add a greenery to this green belt. Is the word "one copy" appropriate? Thank you.

Shanghai reader Mr. Fang.

Mr. Fang:"Divided" can be used to represent one-tenth of the whole, that is, "one percent". For example:

1) His work here has nine points of achievement and only one point of flaws.

2) Although it was a small success, it gave him some confidence.

3) My view of these practices is "three seven open": seven points are good and mainstream; Three points is insufficient and needs to be improved.

4) There is a point of heat, and a point of light. (Dictionary of Chinese Sayings, Shanghai Century Publishing Co., Ltd., Shanghai Lexicographical Publishing House, 2011).

5) One more sharing, minus one point of ambition. ("The Sea of Proverbs", Chinese Language Publishing House, 1999 edition).

Example (4) means that if there is a little heat, it will glow a little. Here it is"One point" is used to indicate a small number。The meaning of the proverb is that there is as much light as there is heat, and it is a metaphor for the best effort, regardless of ability. The "one point" in example (5) also indicates a small numberEquivalent to "a little".。The meaning of this proverb is that the more you enjoy, the less ambition you have.

Deng's Disciple is Lustful Fu", which says that "if you increase one point, it will be too long, and if you subtract one point, it will be too short." Later, people often said that "if you increase one point, you will be fat, and if you lose one point, you will be thin" and so on. Among them, "one point" is also equivalent to "a little". The "points" of "one point" can also be said as "cheng", and in colloquial language, "How sure are you?" It can also be said as, "How sure are you?" ”。

"One portion" means a whole that is combined, such as "a gift", "a newspaper", "a breakfast". It means to "contribute one's own strength" to a certain cause, and it means to contribute all one's strength, not just "one-to-one" strength, and it should not be written as "contribute one's own strength." "I want to contribute to my hometown", it should not be written as "I want to contribute to my hometown". In the question, "the small trees that grow green leaves add a bit of greenery to this green belt" means that the newly planted trees add a little greenery to the green belt, and it should be written as "the small trees that grow green leaves add a little greenery to this green belt".

Du Yongdao, former editor-in-chief of Language and Writing Daily.

People's ** Overseas Edition (2021-01-02).

"Informative" and "informative".

Mr. Du: A ** publication said: "Detailed copywriting information is an important guarantee for the smooth progress of the meeting. Is the word "detailed" appropriate? Thank you.

Jiangxi reader Mr. Fan.

Mr. Fan:"Detailed" and "detailed" are a group of heteromorphic words, that is, the two words have the same meaning and the same pronunciation, but they are different in their writing. In the language, there are many alien words, which is a burden. Therefore, in 2001, the "First Batch of Heteromorphic Words Collation Table" was released. This table standardizes 338 groups of heteromorphic words, and selects one word from each group of heteromorphic words for recommendation. These provisions have long been found in reference books. However, in addition to this table, there are many heteromorphic words, and people generally use the way recommended by the Modern Chinese Dictionary to write these heteromorphic words. In the Dictionary of Modern Chinese"Informative" is the recommended form of wordThis is also commonly used in various reference books. "Xinhua Dictionary" and "List of Common Words in Modern Chinese" also recommend the use of "informative". The "Dictionary of Modern Chinese" and the "List of Common Words in Compulsory Education" for primary and secondary schools only have "detailed" but not "detailed".

Here are the use cases or instructions in the reference book:

Informative material. (Dictionary of Modern Chinese).

The narrative is informative and believable. (Dictionary of Modern Chinese).

Informative. (Dictionary of Modern Chinese Learning).

The report is informative. (Modern Chinese Dictionary).

Informative Detailed and indefinite. (12th edition of Xinhua Dictionary).

In the mainstream** observation, there are also more "informative" use cases than "detailed". It can be seen that not only the recommended writing style in the reference book is "informative", but also the actual use of "informative" in society. It can be said that "informative" is the mainstream way of writing in society, so it is appropriate to write "informative" rather than "detailed". In the question, "detailed copywriting materials are an important guarantee for the smooth progress of the meeting", it should be written as "detailed copywriting materials are an important guarantee for the smooth progress of the meeting".
