摘　　要：必须区分信息传递过程中的两种方式：“详细的描述方式”与“简略的提示方式”。历来汉语的文风是强调“言简意赅”。与其他语言（例如英语和日语）相比，在汉语的书面语言和口语中更多地使用了“提示方式”，从而意味着信息的理解要在更大的程度上依靠写读（说听）双方共同拥有的知识。这种做法是如此普遍以致于有时信息的接收者必须通过常识来校正语义分析所获得的信息。迄今的计算机技术远未达到这种主要依靠常识和专业知识来猜测语义的程度，从而必须把馈送给计算机的自然语言语句限制在“描述方式”的范畴之内。Abstract It is important to distinguish two modes of information transferring processes : detailed description mode and curtailed hint - mode . In history , the traditional style of Chinese writing is to focus on ' terse and more message' . Thus Chinese writing is unique in its widely usage of hint - mode in various ways for the purpose of high efficiency as compared with other languages such as English and Japanese . This implies that the understanding of Chinese language depends on much more degree on the common knowledge between information sender and re- ceiver . This kind of practice was carried out so hard that in many cases the reader (listener) has to rectify the meaning of a sentence via common sense instead of simply using the result of syntax analysis . So far, the computer technology is far from being able to understand the 'hint mode' expressions on the basis of common sense and professional knowledge , hence we have to restrict the style of statements in ' description mode' before the computer can understand it .
