Thoughts
讀大學的時候就聽說這本書,當時下載在kindle上酒贬,看了一小部分,沒有看完萍摊,有點遺憾著觉。看到Eric11月跟我們一起都這本書嘉涌,當時就下單買了紙質版的書妻熊,報名參加讀書會夸浅,這一次一定要讀完。正如Eric所說固耘,也許并不能立即提高寫作题篷,但至少能夠提高鑒賞水平词身。最巧的是厅目,讀第一章我就發(fā)現(xiàn)讀書時曾做過一篇閱讀理解,就是節(jié)選自這章法严!
It's impossible for a muddy thinker to write good English.
先要清晰地思考损敷,方能清晰地寫作。平時一直強調要頭腦清晰深啤,但寫作是往往跟書中的業(yè)余作家一樣拗馒,只顧享受行云流水的快感,沒顧上思考寫作溯街。結果寫完后給別人看反響平平诱桂,數(shù)日后自己閱讀發(fā)現(xiàn)描述不清楚,有的拖沓呈昔,有的交代不夠挥等。
Thinking clearly is a conscious act that writers must force on themselves, as if they were working on any other project that requires logic.
所以,如果要真正提高寫作堤尾,得逼著自己思考肝劲。也許真正思考過后寫出的文字不僅更清楚,還會更有力量郭宝。
