宏观建议：多读和你期望写出的风格类似的内容。多写，多练才能提高。找个优秀的编辑合作。推荐书目：《纽约时报格式与用词手册》（The New York Times Manual of Style and Usage）、舍策尔（Shertzer）的《语法要素》（The Elements of Grammar），以及斯特朗克和怀特（Strunk and White）的《风格的要素》（The Elements of Style）。
Macro advise: read a lot of material similar to what you hope to write. Write a lot, you only get better with practice. Collaborate with a good editor. Books: The New York Times Manual of Style and Usage, Shertzer's The Elements of Grammar, and Strunk and White's The Elements of Style.

……大约 4600 多个结果。粗略扫了一眼搜索结果的第一页，结果里的摘要文字看着都很正常。我觉得，可以说是无事生非了吧。[1]：西格尔，艾伦（Siegal, Allan）（1999年）。《纽约时报格式与用词手册》。三河出版社。第 80 页。[2]：Google 搜索包含 "comprised of" 的 site:nytimes.com 查询。URL：https://www.google.com/search?q=%22comprised+of%22+site%3Any...
…around 4600+ results. A cursory glance at the first page of search results and the snippet text in the results all look fine. I guess, we could say, much ado about nothing.

拼成“NFL”还是“N.F.L.”可不是《纽约时报》作者个人说了算的。不管他偏好哪个，他的编辑都会确保符合《纽约时报格式与用词手册》的规范，该手册在 2015 年版中仍然要求写成“N.F.L.”
The spelling of 'NFL' vs. 'N.F.L.' isn't up to the individual NYT writer. Whatever his preference, his editor will make sure it complies with the New York Times Manual of Style and Usage, which in its 2015 edition still calls for 'N.F.L.'
是吗？我手头就有一本第 5 版的《纽约时报格式与用词手册》，里面明确区分了这两者。在 ensure（第 120 页）和 insure（第 170 页）的词条下，它都给出了对方的示例。
It does? I have a 5th Ed. New York Times Manual of Style and Usage right here and it clearly distinguishes between the two. Under the entries for both ensure (p 120) and insure (p 170) it gives examples of the other.
……除非案件具有种族色彩，否则被定罪与否并不相干；至于哪些案件中种族因素才算相关，就留给读者当练习去琢磨吧。路透社和美联社也有类似的规定。[1] 《纽约时报格式与用词手册》，2015 版，第 2183 页 http://1.droppdf.com/files/bp7ed/the-new-york-times-manual-o...
…convicted of a crime is not pertinent unless the case has racial overtones; It is left as an exercise for the reader to find out in which cases race was pertinent. Reuters and AP have similar rules.
