2.从含义上说:abstract强调简洁和实质性内容的集中; summary注重简练,而不刻意追求风格或事实、细节; outline侧重“要点”; 而digest则通常不仅要展示原作的精髓,也常常保留原作的语言和风格。

3.从形式上说:abstract, summary和digest都是一篇短文; 而outline则可以是一篇短文,也可以是一些编号或关键性词语。

4.从位置上说:abstract一般位于正文之前; summary和outline既可位于正文之前,也可独立成篇; digest则完全是另一篇文章。

5.从写作时间上说:abstract, summary和digest都是在文章写成之后; 而outline既可以是文章写好后再抽出的要点,也可以是写作之前拟定的提纲。
