The term "condensed" comes from the Latin word "condensare," which means "to press together." This can refer to a physical object being made smaller or denser, or to a summary or abstract being made shorter by removing unnecessary details or redundancies.
For example:
"I don't have time to read the full report, so can you give me a condensed version?"
"The editor suggested that we condense the article to make it more concise."
"Abridged" comes from the Latin word "abridge," which means "to shorten." This term is often used to describe a shortened version of a book or other long written work, such as a novel or textbook.
For example:
"I'm reading an abridged version of 'War and Peace' because I don't have time for the full version."
"The teacher assigned the abridged version of the textbook for the course."
Here are some example sentences in Chinese and their translations in English:
我没有时间看完整份报告,能给我一个删减版吗? ("I don't have time to read the full report, so can you give me a condensed version?")
编辑建议我们把文章缩短一些,使其更简洁。 ("The editor suggested that we condense the article to make it more concise.")
我在读一本删减版的《战争与和平》,因为我没时间看完整本。 ("I'm reading an abridged version of 'War and Peace' because I don't have time for the full version.")
老师指定了这门课的删减版教科书。 ("The teacher assigned the abridged version of the textbook for the course.")
