每個人的語言儲備庫里，都有一個“舒適區(qū)”（comfort zone） 里面貯藏著平時用慣的一批語匯，某種句型，某種文風。它的好處是：容易形成自己獨特的風格。短處是：缺乏新意，容易讓人產(chǎn)生似曾相識的審美疲勞。

英語中有若干平時不甚常用的詞匯，可以在適當?shù)臅r候用于替換同義的普通詞匯，頓時有畫龍點睛之效，讓人耳目一新。舉例如下：

1. Albeit(可取代though, even though):

They’re an attempt, albeit through humor, to bring at least some semblance of order to a world gone haywire.

Albeit ?difficult, the job is getting done.

2. Notwithstanding(可取代despite, in spite of):

Notwithstanding some major financial problems, the school has had a successful year.

They went ahead, public opposition notwithstanding.

Hence(可取代resulting in, therefore ?from now):

We suspect they are trying to hide something, hence the need for an independent inquiry.

The sports meet will be held three days hence.

Inter alia(可取代among others):

He stated, inter alia, that international cooperation and coordination for implementation are major features of the WHO FCTC.

Vice versa(可取代or the other way round):

A man of high birth may be of low worth and vice versa.

“尋常一樣窗前月，才有梅花便不同?！蓖?，尋常一樣普通句子，才有幾個點睛的詞匯，整個句子的口感就完全不同。
