REFLECTION
在閱讀這章時(shí)旭愧，我似乎不能很好地identify with Zinser.或許是對(duì)art這個(gè)題材的評(píng)論，平時(shí)接觸地比較少宙暇，所以無法很好地體會(huì)怎樣才是好的評(píng)論输枯，加之這章的生詞和結(jié)構(gòu)讓我很難懂。所以就讀了個(gè)一知半解占贫。
One is that critics should like—or, better still, love—the medium they are reviewing. If you think movies are dumb, don’t write about them.
criticism is only one person’s opinion. But he should go to every movie wanting to like it. If he is more often disappointed than pleased, it’s because the film has failed to live up to its best possibilities.This is far different from the critic who prides himself on hating everything.
對(duì)于這段話我是這樣理解的：如果你覺得一個(gè)影片很無聊桃熄，還是不要去評(píng)論的為好。因?yàn)橄埠檬且粋€(gè)很主觀的事型奥，這僅代表了個(gè)人觀點(diǎn)瞳收。所以我認(rèn)為zinser想說的是，如果你被自己的喜好所支配桩引，你就會(huì)有失偏頗缎讼。當(dāng)一個(gè)評(píng)論家在看影片時(shí)，要盡量去喜歡它坑匠，但是始終還是失望大于享受的話血崭，這才說明時(shí)那部影片沒有達(dá)到所要的效果。這和你用否定他人來體現(xiàn)自己的優(yōu)越是截然不同的厘灼。所以zinser還是很強(qiáng)調(diào)客觀的夹纫。
don’t give away too much of the plot. Tell readers just enough to let them decide whether it’s the kind of story they tend to enjoy, but not so much that you’ll kill their enjoyment.
這可能可以部分體現(xiàn)我們所說的“劇透”吧。確實(shí)设凹，影評(píng)人應(yīng)該把握的“度”很重要舰讹。需要先很客觀地傳達(dá)這是怎樣的一個(gè)故事，但又不能太用力闪朱，說了太多月匣，大家可能覺得都沒什么好看的了。
