简明英语运动：提倡少说废话英语　Campaigners for the English language last week attacked a growing tendency for obvious public information posters, such as a police sign urging people: Don't Commit Crime.
　　(简明英语运动的)倡导者们批评了公共标语过于直白的趋势，比如警方这样规劝人们：禁止犯罪。

　　简明英语运动致力于促进英语的遥遥，其着重指出的其他标语还包括火车站台尽头的警告：站台到此结束，还有用在安眠药物上的标识可能会引起睡意。
　　It's a phenomenon we have noticed in recent years--a kind of talking in a vacuum.
There are so many examples, said a spokesman.
The 'best' one I have come across was a sign reading 'Caution: water on road during rain'.
　　这是我们近几年来注意到的现象——像是在说废话。
诸如此类的例子还有很多，一位发言人说。
我遇到的较牛的一个标题是：‘小心：下雨时路面有水’。
　　They assume a lack of intelligence on the part of the reader.
'Do not commit crime.
Pay for your fuel' is hardly a deterrent to a criminal who has every intention of driving off without paying.
　　他们认为读者没有脑子。
‘禁止犯罪，加油付款’对一个想要加了油就跑的犯罪分子可没有什么威慑力量。
　　The Plain English Campaign cited other examples including: May irritate eyes--on a can of self-defense pepper spray; Removing the wheel can influence the performance of the bicycle--from a Dutch bicycle manual.
　　简明英语运动举出的例子还有：可能伤眼——写在用于自卫的胡椒水喷雾罐上的提示语；拆下车轮会妨碍自行车的正常遥——来自一种荷兰产自行车的遥手册。
　　The campaigners added: Our advice would be say what you need to plainly and simply then stop.
If nothing needs to be said, say nothing.
　　该运动的成员还说：我们的建议是简明易懂地说出你想要表达的意思就行了，如果没什么要说的，那就别说。
