01 fluff
fluff /flʌf/ 名词，在写作的语境里表示很啰嗦的写作风格，writing that has extra unnecessary details that often make the readers bored，辞藻堆砌，或者描写太多和主线无关的细节。
比如说介绍一个新角色出场，花大篇幅介绍他的家乡、家族历史、服饰打扮等细节，虽然可能对塑造故事背景有用，但是读起来无聊而且节奏很慢。
This writer's stories are full of fluff. He'll go on for pages describing something that could be said in a single sentence.
这个作家的故事有很多没必要的描写，一句话就能说完的事，他会用好几页来描述。
This book is just page after page of fluff. I lost interest halfway through.
这本书就是一页又一页的废话。我读到一半就读不下去了。
02 filler
filler /ˈfɪlə(r)/ 名词，字面意思“填充的东西”，表示something that's not necessary for the developing of the story，对故事情节发展没有作用的内容，比如一些支线情节，跳过或者删掉对情节完全没有影响。
filler和fluff经常替换使用，细微的区别是filler是加了没必要的事件情节，而fluff是加了没必要的描写，辞藻堆砌，风格啰嗦。
The last few chapters feel like filler. They don't add anything to the plot.
最后几章给人的感觉像凑字数的，对情节没有任何作用。
As a reader, I hate anything unnecessary to the story. I'd rather read a good short story than a long one full of filler.
作为读者，我讨厌任何多余的情节。我宁愿读篇好的短篇小说，也不愿意读一本尽是凑字数情节的长篇小说。
Some writers add random fillers because they are paid by the word.
有些作家会随便写一些支线情节，因为他们是按字数算稿费的。
03 pad sth out
pad /pæd/ 作名词时表示填充了棉花或者硅胶等的软垫子，起保护作用，卫生巾的英文也叫pad。做动词时表示用软物填塞或者包裹某物。
在写作的语境里，pad sth out表示to make a speech or piece of writing longer by adding unnecessary words or details，加塞无关的辞藻和细节，让讲话或文章变得更长，凑时长，凑字数。也可以说pad A with B，用B填充A的内容、增加A的字数。
The author padded out the book with pages of descriptions. You can skip them and miss nothing.
作者在书里写了好几页凑字数的描述，跳过不读没什么损失。
If you're padding out your essay, try adding relevant examples instead of random sentences.
如果你的文章需要凑字数，尽量补充相关例子，不要随便塞一些句子进去。
04 reach/meet/hit the word count
word count表示字数，作文的字数要求叫required word count或word count requirement，meet和hit在这里表示“达到 (要求)”。
I finished the essay but I was 200 words short, so I added two paragraphs to meet the word count.
我把作文写完了，但还差200字，所以我又加了两段凑够字数。short在这里表示not enough，不够，还缺。
These paragraphs are obviously there just to hit the word count.
这几个段落显然是为了达到字数要求才写的。
