一. 感想
關(guān)于體育類文章的寫作,Zinsser提到了以下觀點:
What gives the article its depth is that it's the work of a writer, not a sportswriter.
If you want to write about sports, remember that the men and women you're writing about are doing something immensely difficult, and they have their pride. You, too, are doing a job that has its codes of honor.
Observe closely. Interview in depth. Listen to old-timers. Ponder the changes. Write well.
體育類題材的寫作,固然有其特性,這是行業(yè)本身所決定的。例如絕大多數(shù)的運動員需要童子功奥此,從小就要經(jīng)受比同齡人艱苦得多的訓(xùn)練生活。開始職業(yè)生涯后,也將面臨巨大的挑戰(zhàn)狡赐。
記得我當(dāng)時看網(wǎng)球冠軍李娜的自傳《獨自上場》時,就對她從小學(xué)球的經(jīng)歷钦幔,以及比賽時所承受的精神壓力和傷病折磨印象極其深刻枕屉。
而且,體育賽事本身又具有對抗性強节槐、競爭激烈搀庶、關(guān)注度高等特性。所以突出其特質(zhì)铜异,就成了體育寫作的重點哥倔。
除此以外,更多的是寫作本身的共性揍庄。如何令文章更有深度咆蒿,作品更吸引人等,是無論我們寫任何類型的文章蚂子,都需要考慮的問題沃测。
