问题      Accompanying the general tendency of E-mailers to be informal is the tendency of readers to be more forgiving than readers of printed material. 【61】 Since E-mail is a simple substitute for a routine telephone call, its quick brief messages last remarkably short -- there is no point in styling them, or in being concerned with the niceties of their grammar. Where a misspelling in a printed letter leaves many readers concluding that the writer is a crude person or a fool, the same misspelling in an E-mail message hardly makes a difference to the readers. They assume that the writer must be too busy working or having fun online to bother with spellcheckers and dictionaries.
   【62】 These different expectations can liberate us from many of the more dull conventions that can make print communications slow, stuffy, and even tedious. But they can also lead us to unintentional rudeness, manner lightness that seems disrespectful, or the appearance of indifference to our readers.
   It is too early to tell whether the informality of E-mail will begin to influence the way we write on paper. 【63】 Certainly, bad spellers will hope the more forgiving attitude of E-mail ’readers might spill over to print readers and that E-mail is really a medium that can be used for a whole range of situations. Not a brand of English that is noteworthy chiefly for a small set of his stylistic conventions. It is easy to get entranced by the novelty and the speed of electronic communication and to think of it more as a playground than as a city full of varied neighborhoods. As a writer you must always keep your wits about you and be street smart.
   【64】 It is important to remember the virtues that traditional written communication offers opportunities to shape pieces of writing into something worth saving and chances to move a reader by careful arrangement of words for their accumulative effect. A formal occasion in life, an important business communication, a job application, or a serious personal letter has its own special writing requirements, whether you send it as a hard copy in the mail or as a series of high-pitched electronic sounds over a cable. 【65】 The informal chatter we like so much is not really suitable for every message we might send by E-mail; just as everything has its limits, E-mail is no exception.

答案记住传统书写交流的好处,也是很重要,这样使得我们有机会塑造一篇篇值得保存的文章,也有机会精细地组织词语,使其达到感动读者的效果。

解析 本句含有二个同位语从句,主句为系表结构。其主体句式是:It important to re member the virtues that traditional written communication offers opportunities...and chances...。其中that引导的从句作virtues的同位语;主句的系表结构也是倒装形式:真正的主语to remember the virtues被放置后面,而it为形式主语,这样避免了“头重脚轻”的现象。而且,opportunities和chances是并列结构,同作offer的宾语;同时这两个宾语又都带有不定式,作定语。此外,shape在此为动词,与into连用表示“把…塑造成…”。
