| 释义 | contractions Contractions became unfashionable in the 18th century and continued so until the early 20th century at least; in 1901 a correspondent of The Ladies' Home Journal was still wondering if can't, couldn't, and won't were permissible. Today many handbooks for writers recommend contractions to avoid sounding stilted. See ain't; an't, a'n't; don't; en't; hain't; han't; wont. See also abbreviations. |
