# k7 C9 K' Z* l, [$ {
0 l' V! ^- `9 ]& i& ^本着删繁就简,简朴优于华丽或繁复的原则,原句的结构或大意大约是(也许是):8 T+ f7 n' O. n4 G) H! [+ g5 `7 ]
someone A wants someone B to do something by a certain time.
: P$ S( S% c/ ]) m" Z; w$ B i0 {' P9 U# g9 h) r
所以,原句可改为:
) ?& m: G/ \1 t) o8 x* S1 WEuropean Council president Donald Tusk wants Britain to come up with a Brexit plan by next April.; T* ~# ^, E9 w
+ F( q0 G5 b a6 J3 U8 ]+ g
To double check whether the paraphrasing is correct, ask some questions like these:1 B, i4 O9 r9 C$ d/ U X/ l1 b
1, 改写的是否跟原句意思相符?
, ^9 [% G, z" G2, 是否落下了主要的意思?
: A# \ g4 l2 r" j3, 是否落下或改变了 some subtle meaning? % ~% t, ~0 o+ t0 }3 K* Z: T- U
9 x; y: J6 \; s4 E- f5 |% b如果以上的问题得到了比较满意的结果,那说明改写是可以接受的。4 U2 i8 ^5 B, T7 r
7 u, e4 D. V. \1 u---“ 如果直接写【have to】的话,【until next April】还可以挪到其他什么位置吗?”" M4 u5 {1 u6 ?. x- |
不知道,因为我们以前没见过。但是我们要保守一点,碰到类似不常见的用法,不要贸然断定其对错,因为,毕竟,我们所见过的英语是有限的。但是我们可以试图换一种表达方式。

最后,FYI (excerpt from the Zen of Python):
