一. 感想
"The Sound of Your Voice" 這一章呻率，Zinsser講到了以下要點(diǎn)：
Don't alter your voice to fit your subject.
The effortless style is achieved by strenuous effort and constant refining.
Finding a voice that your readers will enjoy is largely a matter of taste.
Freshness is crucial.
Never hesitate to imitate another writer.
Find the best writers in the fields that interest you and read their work aloud.
因此禀横，若想帶給讀者輕快而有趣，新鮮而引人入勝的閱讀感受，寫(xiě)作者是要通過(guò)長(zhǎng)期而持續(xù)的修煉和領(lǐng)悟才能做到的背镇。其中，模仿喜歡的作家的作品來(lái)進(jìn)行習(xí)作，不失為是一條捷徑惶凝。大可不必?fù)?dān)心會(huì)因此而失去個(gè)性，因?yàn)橹挥薪?jīng)過(guò)大量的模仿和思考犬钢，我們才能逐步形成自己的風(fēng)格苍鲜。當(dāng)自己的風(fēng)格形成了，無(wú)論你寫(xiě)什么玷犹，都"Be Yourself"就好混滔，無(wú)需為題材而改變自己。
讀到這些理論之前箱舞，我曾在自己的閱讀和寫(xiě)作中有過(guò)一些模糊的體會(huì)遍坟。例如，若是某個(gè)階段我讀的書(shū)很有意思晴股，那一時(shí)期自己寫(xiě)的東西就會(huì)有意無(wú)意地與作者的語(yǔ)言風(fēng)格所接近愿伴。其實(shí)很多時(shí)候都是下意識(shí)地模仿，由于連續(xù)輸入的強(qiáng)烈印象电湘，再加上喜愛(ài)的緣故隔节，便自然而然地受其影響鹅经，寫(xiě)作中就有了它的影子。
前段時(shí)間因?yàn)楣ぷ餍枰踅耄乙獜钠胀ㄓ^眾（愛(ài)好者）的角度瘾晃，寫(xiě)一寫(xiě)看機(jī)器人對(duì)抗賽轉(zhuǎn)播的觀后感。在整個(gè)寫(xiě)作過(guò)程中幻妓，我一直在竭力避免從技術(shù)的角度去分析轉(zhuǎn)播的情況蹦误，而是不斷思考作為一個(gè)機(jī)器人愛(ài)好者（實(shí)際上我不僅不是，就連游戲經(jīng)驗(yàn)也沒(méi)有）會(huì)更關(guān)心哪些問(wèn)題肉津，又如何才能輕快强胰、有趣地表述出來(lái)。
當(dāng)時(shí)倍覺(jué)力不從心妹沙，我發(fā)現(xiàn)即使我寫(xiě)清了所有的要點(diǎn)偶洋，文章也不夠吸引人，因?yàn)樘搅司嗵牵稽c(diǎn)兒也不好玩玄窝。那時(shí)候我便意識(shí)到，想要做到“好玩”悍引，需要更深的功底（包括寫(xiě)作本身和背景知識(shí)）恩脂。當(dāng)我們沒(méi)有技術(shù)負(fù)擔(dān)了，才能輕松地玩起來(lái)吗铐，寫(xiě)得更有意思东亦，從而吸引讀者。
