    虽然跟我寻找的academic writing并无半毛联系,但是中箭中到体无完肤之后深受启发。最深的一点在于,自信的作者要敢于用绝对的方式——砍掉形容词,副词,时间状语等种种限定——清晰地说出“我”。03-18

    # kindle # 趁春节这几天啃掉,很多看法与寡人相似,有机会瞧瞧中译本(译本必然不如原作,老先生特别强调韵律,写完文章还要大声朗读,语感不顺就调正,再有如 Venice-Versailles 押“头韵”的小心思,翻过来肯定没了)…前两部分是精华,第三部分略枯淡,第四部分稍有重复训导…写作要明确目标→读者,但出发点是“我”,要写“我”的故事、发现等…如何“沟通”这两端?讲求“人”味,“人”味通行天下,必能感动读者…如何有“人”味?废弃抽象语汇,使用带画面感词句…而且炼字之外,造句谋篇布局皆须用心,文章层层递进,教人割舍不能…全篇须韵律谐和,轻松风趣(专门花好大一篇讲《幽默》)…可以用本书抗议官僚八股,想想国朝那些丑陋的公文…《尽力写好》一章火气好大,老先生恨死乱改他文章的编辑了,哈哈02-26

    世上本没有英语写作教程,考试的人多了,也便有了英语写作教程。而这本书不是。作者非常真诚地把写作当作一名手艺教给我们。观点步骤一清二楚。读来还像一本精致的小说!对我的写作有很大启迪!12-28

    所谓长难句、晦涩用词,基本是政客把玩、学术故弄玄虚、新闻写作油腔滑调、以及国内英文考试盲目响应的产物罢了。英文本身的冗赘与词汇的贫乏由此被进一步滥用。以前所学所教大半错了。此书提点写作要义是解毒良方,不仅仅适用于英文写作。04-23

    海边林间,山前家里,这本书陪伴了我过去的好几个月,实在是超级精彩的一本写作之书——只是此书的范畴,实在属于人生。我肯定会重读的,而且不止一遍。06-24
