第七章usage是priciple中最后一章承疲,那什么是好的usage呢吆你?第八章是新的一章method里面的unity胧后,unity是團(tuán)結(jié)的意思,在這里我理解為文章句子的代詞科盛、時(shí)態(tài)以及風(fēng)格的統(tǒng)一帽衙。
PART ONE VOCABULARY
1.I don’t consider them?slang, or put quotation marks around them to show that I’m mucking?about in the argot of the youth culture and really know better.
一個(gè)句子里面為了表達(dá)行話、隱語(yǔ)贞绵、俚語(yǔ)這個(gè)意思用了兩個(gè)詞厉萝,后文中還出現(xiàn)了jargon、locution榨崩。還有一個(gè)詞叫terminology:(各行業(yè)冀泻、社會(huì)認(rèn)可的)通用術(shù)語(yǔ),專門名詞蜡饵。
2.You learn to write by writing. It’s a truism, but what makes it a truism is?that it’s true.
truism為老生常談,我覺(jué)得這個(gè)和前面rules of thumb意思有點(diǎn)相近胳施,后者是經(jīng)驗(yàn)之談溯祸。an obvious truth.
e.g.Tom's speech was a collection of cliches and truism.
3.Unity is the anchor of good writing. So, first, get your unities straight.Unity not only keeps the reader from straggling off in all directions;
achor:to provide a feeling of support,支柱支撐
straggling:lose one's way掉隊(duì)、迷路舞肆、落伍
PART TWO 感想與摘抄好句
however, that “the pen?must at length comply with the tongue,” as Samuel Johnson said, and?that today’s spoken garbage may be tomorrow’s written gold.
Good?usage, to me, consists of using good words if they already exist—as they?almost always do—to express myself clearly and simply to someone else.
What is good usage? One helpful approach is to try to separate usage?from jargon.
在第七章usage用法中作者講述作為專家組的一名成員焦辅,認(rèn)為應(yīng)該講俚語(yǔ)與寫作語(yǔ)言區(qū)分出來(lái),將一些外來(lái)語(yǔ)潤(rùn)色椿胯。相對(duì)寫作語(yǔ)言筷登,口頭語(yǔ)言的要求相對(duì)輕松。但是作者擔(dān)心不久俚語(yǔ)在我們生活中將會(huì)泛濫成災(zāi)哩盲。美國(guó)前總統(tǒng)卡特前方、克林頓狈醉,janet reno到各種公司已經(jīng)在嘗試讓他們的語(yǔ)言更平易近人。對(duì)于俚語(yǔ)惠险,我們也并非書呆子也懂得與時(shí)俱進(jìn)但是這并不意味要像伐樹般如此粗暴地接受苗傅。
在第八章講述代詞、時(shí)態(tài)班巩、風(fēng)格的統(tǒng)一渣慕。作者講了一個(gè)旅游游記(其中九龍的單詞我還是查了才知道),這個(gè)游記像流水賬一樣抱慌,講了香港的氣候逊桦、飲食等等,但是偏離了主題抑进,刪繁從簡(jiǎn)是非常重要的强经。focus主要內(nèi)容刪除繁枝末節(jié),同時(shí)還得有熱情单匣,不然你的讀者第一時(shí)間就會(huì)察覺(jué)夕凝。寫作文每一個(gè)細(xì)節(jié)都應(yīng)該圍繞主題。英文如此中文亦是户秤,以前高三寫作文經(jīng)常被班主任罵码秉,作文低分就是寫著寫著偏離了主題。寫文章還得留給讀者遐想的空間鸡号,一篇文章需要裁剪和粘貼才能形成好的文章转砖。在寫作時(shí)你可能會(huì)才思泉涌,不要擔(dān)心鲸伴,調(diào)整好你的文風(fēng)府蔗。
