7. Exceptions
Is there anything in the chart that is completely different to the general pattern? If so, this too is very likely to be a key detail that needs to be noted.
除了常规方式外的东西也要写到,就是图表中的“例外”。
8. Ordering information排序
Have you ordered the information in a logical way? It is no good putting all the right information in if the keys points are hidden away. This can happen if you follow the order of the chart without thinking. Possible logical ways of ordering the report include:
从图表中选择的信息,又按照合理的逻辑排列好顺序吗?常见的逻辑顺序有:
start with the most significant detail 从最重要的细节开始说起
start with the general pattern, then note exceptions 从一般模式说起,然后注明有例外
group items that are similar 写一组里面有相似性的东西
move from the largest to the smallest 从最大值写到最小值
move from the first in time to the last in time 从时间起点写到时间终点
