Input Arguments

输入参数

  • $OBJECTIVE
    : What is the intended purpose or goal of the text? (e.g., "persuade investors to fund our Series A," "explain product features to new users," "communicate company values to employees")
  • $TEXT
    : The text to review
  • $OBJECTIVE
    : 文本的预期目的或目标是什么?(例如:"说服投资者为我们的A轮融资提供资金"、"向新用户解释产品功能"、"向员工传达公司价值观")
  • $TEXT

Process

流程

Step 1: Understand Context

步骤1:理解上下文

  • Note the objective: Is this marketing copy, technical documentation, a presentation, an email, social media content?
  • Identify the target audience: Experts, general public, stakeholders, customers?
  • Consider tone: Formal, casual, authoritative, friendly?
  • 明确目标:这是营销文案、技术文档、演示文稿、邮件还是社交媒体内容?
  • 确定目标受众:专家、普通大众、利益相关者还是客户?
  • 考量语气:正式、随意、权威还是友好?

Step 2: Scan for Errors

步骤2:扫描错误

Read through the text once, identifying:
  • Grammar errors: Spelling, punctuation, subject-verb agreement, tense consistency, modifier placement
  • Logical errors: Contradictions, unsupported claims, unclear cause-and-effect, incomplete thoughts
  • Flow errors: Choppy transitions, unclear organization, redundancy, passive voice overuse, vague pronouns, awkward phrasing
通读文本,识别以下问题:
  • 语法错误:拼写、标点、主谓一致、时态一致性、修饰语位置
  • 逻辑错误:矛盾、无依据的主张、不清晰的因果关系、不完整的表述
  • 流畅性错误:生硬的过渡、混乱的结构、冗余、过度使用被动语态、模糊代词、尴尬的措辞

Step 3: Categorize Errors

步骤3:分类错误

Organize findings by type:
  1. Grammar (spelling, punctuation, syntax)
  2. Logic (clarity, coherence, reasoning)
  3. Flow (transitions, sentence structure, readability, tone consistency)
按类型整理发现的问题:
  1. 语法(拼写、标点、句法)
  2. 逻辑(清晰度、连贯性、推理)
  3. 流畅性(过渡、句子结构、可读性、语气一致性)

Step 4: Create Fix Suggestions

步骤4:制定修复建议

For each error, provide:
  • Location: Where in the text (e.g., "Paragraph 3, sentence 2")
  • Error identified: What's wrong
  • Fix suggested: How to correct it
  • Rationale: Why this matters (clarity, grammar rule, flow, tone)
针对每个错误,提供:
  • 位置:文本中的具体位置(例如:"第3段,第2句")
  • 识别的错误:问题所在
  • 建议修复方案:如何修正
  • 理由:为什么这个修复很重要(清晰度、语法规则、流畅性、语气)

Step 5: Prioritize

步骤5:优先级排序

Flag highest-impact issues first:
  • Critical: Grammar or logic errors that confuse readers
  • Important: Flow issues that hurt readability or persuasiveness
  • Minor: Stylistic suggestions or polish

首先标记影响最大的问题:
  • 关键:会让读者产生困惑的语法或逻辑错误
  • 重要:影响可读性或说服力的流畅性问题
  • 次要:风格建议或润色调整

Important Guidelines

重要指南

  • Tone: Use straightforward, professional language. Be encouraging about the writing.
  • Focus on clarity: Grammar matters, but clarity is paramount. A sentence can be grammatically correct but still confusing.
  • Use primary-school language: Explain fixes in simple terms. Don't assume the reader knows grammar terminology.
  • Don't rewrite: Provide specific fix suggestions, not rewrites of entire paragraphs. Let the author maintain their voice.
  • Include rationale: Explain why each fix matters. This helps the author understand the principle, not just the rule.
  • Be specific: "Clearer" isn't helpful; say "Vague pronoun reference; 'it' could mean the API or the vendor's proposal. Change to: 'The vendor's API proved too complex.'"
  • Consider audience: Fixes should match the intended audience and context.

  • 语气:使用直接、专业的语言。对写作内容保持鼓励的态度。
  • 聚焦清晰度:语法很重要,但清晰度是首要的。一个句子可能语法正确,但仍然令人困惑。
  • 使用简单易懂的语言:用简单的术语解释修复建议。不要假设读者了解语法术语。
  • 请勿重写:提供具体的修复建议,而非重写整个段落。让作者保留自己的风格。
  • 包含理由:解释每个修复建议的重要性。这有助于作者理解背后的原则,而不仅仅是规则。
  • 具体化:"更清晰"这样的表述没有帮助;应该说:"模糊的代词指代;'it'可能指API或供应商的提案。修改为:'The vendor's API proved too complex.'"
  • 考虑受众:修复建议应匹配目标受众与上下文。

Checklist for Review

审阅检查清单

Use this checklist to ensure thorough review:
  • Check for spelling errors (use spell-check, manual review)
  • Check for punctuation issues (missing commas, apostrophes, periods)
  • Verify subject-verb agreement throughout
  • Check tense consistency (past, present, future should align)
  • Identify vague pronouns that could be clearer
  • Look for sentences that could be combined or split for better flow
  • Identify passive voice; flag if overused
  • Check for unsupported claims; ask "Is this proven?" or "Do we have evidence?"
  • Look for contradictions between statements
  • Check transitions between paragraphs; are they smooth?
  • Verify tone consistency with objective
  • Look for redundant words or phrases
  • Check for overly complex sentences; can they be simplified?
  • Verify that claims support the stated objective

使用以下清单确保审阅全面:
  • 检查拼写错误(使用拼写检查工具,辅以人工审阅)
  • 检查标点问题(遗漏的逗号、撇号、句号)
  • 全程验证主谓一致性
  • 检查时态一致性(过去时、现在时、将来时应保持一致)
  • 识别可能存在歧义的模糊代词
  • 寻找可合并或拆分以提升流畅性的句子
  • 识别被动语态;如过度使用则标记出来
  • 检查无依据的主张;自问"这有证据支持吗?"或"我们有相关证明吗?"
  • 寻找表述之间的矛盾
  • 检查段落之间的过渡;是否流畅自然?
  • 验证语气与目标是否一致
  • 寻找冗余的单词或短语
  • 检查过于复杂的句子;是否可以简化?
  • 验证主张是否符合既定目标

Examples of Effective Feedback

有效反馈示例

Poor feedback: "This sentence is unclear." Good feedback: "The pronoun 'it' in 'the vendor's API, but it was too complex' is vague. Change to 'the vendor's API was too complex' for clarity."
Poor feedback: "Fix the grammar here." Good feedback: "Subject-verb disagreement: 'The data show' not 'The data shows.' Collective nouns like 'data' take plural verbs in American English."
Poor feedback: "This doesn't flow well." Good feedback: "Choppy transitions between paragraphs. Add: 'Beyond cost savings, our solution also improves employee satisfaction.' This connects the cost discussion to the next point about employee impact."

无效反馈:"这句话不清楚。" 有效反馈:"'the vendor's API, but it was too complex'中的代词'it'指代模糊。修改为'the vendor's API was too complex'以提升清晰度。"
无效反馈:"修复这里的语法问题。" 有效反馈:"主谓不一致:应使用'The data show'而非'The data shows'。在美式英语中,'data'这类集合名词使用复数动词。"
无效反馈:"这段内容不流畅。" 有效反馈:"段落之间的过渡生硬。添加:'Beyond cost savings, our solution also improves employee satisfaction.' 这将把成本相关的讨论与下一个关于员工影响的要点联系起来。"

When to Suggest No Change

何时建议无需修改

Not every phrase needs fixing. Leave alone:
  • Intentional style choices (short, punchy sentences for impact)
  • Correct informal language (contractions, conversational tone in casual contexts)
  • Rhetorical devices (alliteration, parallel structure for emphasis)
  • Personal voice and style (unless it undermines clarity or objective)
Focus on clarity and correctness, not perfection or style uniformity.
并非每个表述都需要修改。以下情况可保持原样:
  • 有意的风格选择(为了增强效果而使用简短、有力的句子)
  • 正确的非正式语言(在非正式语境中使用缩写、口语化语气)
  • 修辞手法(为了强调而使用的头韵、排比结构)
  • 个人风格与语调(除非它损害了清晰度或目标达成)
聚焦于清晰度与准确性,而非完美或风格统一。
