摘　　要：人们总是喜欢把长的名称缩短。人们不会说“美利坚合众国”,而是会说“美国”。这样比较容易说,也比较容易记。他们也不会说“美国职业篮球联赛”,而是会说NBA。一般人也喜欢把常用的短语缩短。他们不会说“常见问题”,而是会说FAQ。以下还有几个长话拉说的例子。People like to make long names short.They don't say"United States of America."They say"USA."It's easier to say and remember.They also don't say"National Basketball Association."They say"NBA."People also like to make common phrases shorter.They don't say"frequently asked questions."They talk about"FAQ."Here are a few more short ways to say things.
