tactful 用中文解釋就是 <得體 / 措辭小心 / 委婉>, 好像政府的公文, 避免文句使讀者不快的, 如:
You cannot smoke on this venue. (你不可以在此吸煙)---->Thank you for not smoking on this venue. (請勿吸煙, 多謝合作)
要寫TACTFUL的文字, 可從多方面配合, 如用詞, 句式, 甚至語氣. 但你講的 positive vocabulary / impersonal contruction 確是有用的工具.
positive vocabulary 的例子:
You are not allowed to .... ----> You are reminded not to .....
Someone complained against you for...----> It has been brought to our notice that ........
用"不肯定"語氣也有幫助
You do not know ......----> You may not be aware.....
其實, 只要易地而處, 想像你是收信人, 試感受文字有沒有讓你感到被冒犯, 就可以判斷文字是否TACTFUL
