长篇大论 vs 简洁明了

一下是真实对话,前者是实际引用,后者是修正过的。

“那个人来修电视机了,他在楼下,现在上来了,只是跟你讲一下而已” (27)
“修电视的人来了,他在上楼,就跟你说下"(16)
27-16 = 11
Compression ratio = 27/16=1.6875

  1. Interesting. similar things happened to me also.
    Last time, I always ordered a breakfast set. But there was one day, I wanted bread + milk tea only. There are two ppl. Then, I said, two set, but each without egg...uncle didn't understand, then I blabla again...
    Then, the uncle rephrases by "so you need four breads, and two milk teas, right? "
    Suddenly, I realize how simple it could be...
