Paraphrase
What is a “paraphrase”?
“the re-expression of sth written or said in different words, esp. words that are easier to understand”
——Longman’s Dictionary of Contemporary English
It would therefore be inadvisable to:
stick to the original structure and change only a word or two;
keep the implied meaning under surface;
remain a figure of speech in the paraphrase;
make the paraphrase even more obscure than the original.
How do we paraphrase?Now take a look at:
The original passage:
Students frequently overuse direct quotations in taking notes, and as a result they overuse quotations in the final research paper. Probably only about 10% of your final manuscript should appear as directly quoted matter. Therefore, you should strive to limit the amount of exact transcribing of source materials while taking notes.
Version 1:
Students often use too many direct quotations when they take notes, resulting in too many of them in the final research paper. In fact, probably only 10% of the final copy should consist of directly quoted mateiral. So it is important to limit the amount of source material copied while taking notes.
