【#跟蕭叔叔學英文寫作】英國首相BoJo給國民的公開信
兩點值得留意：
1. 用字極淺白，句子非常簡短直接，給人坦白直接，不轉彎抹角，不玩語言偽術的印象。
2. 好多表達懶有empathy懶係從「你」出發的語句（蕭叔用紅筆間住），而不是一味靠罰靠嚇。
“I understand completely the difficulties this disruption has caused to your lives, businesses and jobs. But the action we have taken is absolutely necessary, for one very simple reason.
If too many people become seriously unwell at one time, the NHS will be unable to cope. This will cost lives. We must slow the spread of the disease, and reduce the number of people needing hospital treatment in order to save as many lives as possible.
That is why we are giving one simple instruction — you must stay at home.”
