2 in short 与for short


Winnie the Pooh is about 100 years old. It is my favorite, and I'm sure it's also yours. Do you know how it came to our life?

Winnipeg is a place in Canada. Many years ago, Harry, a soldier, went to Europe from here. When he stopped at train station, he saw a man selling a little black bear. Harry bought it and named it Winnipeg. The name became Winnie in short later.

Harry went to a lot of places. When he got to London, he left Winnie in the London Zoo. He thought they could look after Winnie.

Near the zoo, there was a boy named Robin. He loved to visit the London Zoo with his dad. Winnie was his favorite animal. Robin's father was a writer. He wrote the bear in one of his poems for the first time. Later he wrote stories about Winnie and Robin. Slowly, the father wrote more characters(角色) like Piglet, Rabbit, Roo and Tigger and so on in his stories.

专家老师,我认为第二段末句中的红色斜体字in short应该改用for short才符合文意。因为in short的意思是“总之,简言之”in a few words, in one word,用于conclude something.

for short意为“简称,缩写”,used as a short way of saying a name.所以for short才符合文意。盼望专家老师给予指导,谢谢。

我同意你的看法。By the way,in short也有‘不充裕,短缺’的意思哦,不止是用于conclusion.
