Indented display
缩进显示

Sometimes your document will be so short that neither headings nor decimal numbering would be appropriate to highlight the divisions of your thinking. Nevertheless, you will still be dealing with groupings of ideas, and you will want to highlight them in some way.
有时，文档内容很短，使用标题或小数编号可能都不适合用来突出思维的分段。然而，你仍需要处理思想的分组，并希望以某种方式加以突出。

Groups of points supporting or explaining an overall idea are always easier for the reader to absorb if they are set off so as to be easily distinguishable as a group. Consider, for example, the two versions of the memorandum shown in Exhibit 27.
如果支持或解释一个整体思想的要点被清晰地分组，读者将更容易吸收这些信息。以图表27中的两种备忘录版本为例。

Exhibit 27-A
图表27-A

I have scheduled a Creative Thinking session with Frank Griffith and the industrial engineers for the second week of September, and for Al Beam and his staff for the third week of September.
我已安排了与Frank Griffith及工业工程师的创造性思维会议，时间为9月第二周；与Al Beam及其团队的会议时间为9月第三周。

I think we need just a few slides to supplement the introduction, which is attached with suggested slide concepts.
我认为我们需要几张幻灯片来补充介绍，附件中包含建议的幻灯片概念。

We also need slides of the Specific Examples of Positive Reinforcement language. These slides would be used as a wrap-up at the end of the presentation. This language should also be in printed form to be used as a handout.
我们还需要关于正强化语言具体示例的幻灯片，这些幻灯片将在演示结束时用作总结。这些内容还应以打印形式提供，作为手册使用。

Slides showing the results of innovation we have had, such as the slides that you made of the musical instruments, would be quite valuable for the Frank Griffith meeting for the second week, and they would be essential for the Al Beam meeting set for the third week of September.
展示我们创新成果的幻灯片，例如您制作的乐器相关幻灯片，将对9月第二周的Frank Griffith会议非常有价值，对9月第三周的Al Beam会议则至关重要。

We have purchased the film ‘Why Man Creates’ to be used as part of the introduction of the programme.
我们已购买了《Why Man Creates》电影，作为计划介绍的一部分使用。

Slides are also needed for the section on Innovation Environment Chart Traits.
关于创新环境特征图表的部分，我们也需要幻灯片。

Key rules for indented display
缩进显示的关键规则

• In general, the major rule to remember when you set your ideas off in this way is that you want to be sure to express them in the same grammatical form.
  一般来说，当您以这种方式呈现思想时，必须确保它们的语法形式一致。

• Whether the memorandum is long or short, the visual arrangement of groups of ideas to set off their similarity to each other as ideas will always make them easier to comprehend.
  无论备忘录长短如何，将思想分组以突出其相似性，这种视觉布局总会让内容更易于理解。
