不必要的名词就是指那些多余的名词,这类词很好辨认,它们的意思已经在句子中表达出来,所以可以删掉。但是要注意:大部分不必要的名词不是单独出现的,而是和一些冠词和介词一起出现,所以在删掉时,也要删掉和它们在一起的小伙伴哦。
比如(B译法优于A译法):

A:to accelerate the pace of economic reform
B : to accelerate economic reform
继续提高城乡居民的生活水平
A: living standards for the people in both urban and rural areas continued to rise
B : living standards in both urban and rural areas continued to rise
生活水平只适用于人,所以红色部分多余,可去掉

A: the development of our economy in the future will, to a large extent, depend on...

measures 这一名词复数已经体现出了series的意思了
