修改原因
修改前Summarising, remote work has more benefits than drawbacks for most office staff.
修改后To sum up, remote work has more benefits than drawbacks for most office staff.
这里容易只写一个 Summarising 来引出结论。但这个位置通常使用固定表达 To sum up,单独的 Summarising 不是自然的总结开场。修改只替换开头,其余句子保持不变。
代词要放在 sum 和 up 之间:sum it up、sum them up。名词则也可以放在 up 后面:sum up the results。作文中,To sum up 和 In conclusion 常可互换,但 To sum up 语气稍轻,也适合日常交流,例如工作会议的结尾。
