风格的要素

William Strunk Jr. (1 July 1869 – 26 September 1946) was a professor of English at Cornell University and author of the The Elements of Style (1918), which, after being revised and enlarged by his former student E. B. White, became a highly influential guide to English usage during the late 20th century.Strunk was born and reared in Cincinnati, Ohio, the eldest of four surviving children of William and Ella Garretson Strunk.[1] He earned a bachelor's degree at the University of Cincinnati in 1890 and a PhD at Cornell University in 1896. He spent the academic year 1898–99 at the Sorbonne and the Collège de France, where he studied morphology and philology.[2]Strunk first taught mathematics at Rose Polytechnical Institute in Terre Haute, Indiana in 1890–91.[3] He then taught English at Cornell for 46 years, disdaining specialization and becoming expert in both classical and non-English literature.[4] In 1922 he published English Metres, a study of poetic metrical form, and he compiled critical editions of Cynewulf's Juliana, several works of Dryden, James Fenimore Cooper's Last of the Mohicans, and several Shakespearean plays.[5] Strunk was also active in a gathering known as the Manuscript Club, an "informal Saturday-night gathering of students and professors interested in writing," where he met "a sensitive and deeply thoughtful young man named Elwyn Brooks White."[6]In 1935–36, Strunk enjoyed serving as the literary consultant for the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer film Romeo and Juliet (1936). In the studio he was known as "the professor," in part because with his three-piece suit and wire-rim spectacles, he "looked as though he'd been delivered to the set from MGM's casting department."[7]In 1918, Strunk privately published The Elements of Style for the use of his Cornell students, who gave it its nickname, "the little book." Strunk intended the guide "to lighten the task of instructor and student by concentrating attention...on a few essentials, the rules of usage and principles of composition most commonly violated.” In 1935, Strunk and Edward A. Tenney revised and published the guide as The Elements and Practice of Composition (1935).In his New Yorker column of July 27, 1957, E. B. White praised the "little book" as a "forty-three-page summation of the case for cleanliness, accuracy, and brevity in the use of English."[8] Macmillan and Company then commissioned White to revise The Elements of Style for republication. White's expansion and modernization of the 1935 edition sold more than two million copies. Since 1959, total sales of three editions in four decades has exceeded ten million copies.[9]In 1900, Strunk married Olivia Emilie Locke, with whom he had three children, including the noted musicologist, Oliver Strunk.[10] William Strunk retired from Cornell in 1937. In 1945 he suffered a mental breakdown, diagnosed as "senile psychosis," and died less than a year later at the Hudson River Psychiatric Institute in Poughkeepsie, New York.[11] Strunk's Cornell obituary noted that his friends and former students remembered "his kindness, his helpfulness as a teacher and colleague, [and] his boyish lack of envy and guile."[12]

这本书是The elements of style的翻译。之前很费力的看英文版，有些不懂。 从eco论坛找到这边书的时候非常高兴，更加高兴的发现这本书翻译得还很不错。 中英文结合着看总算能搞懂里面所要表达的东西。 可以学习英语的一些基本用法，修正一些日常低级错误。当然其中...  

知道这本书，准确地说是一本只有43页的小册子，是从徐宥博客上一篇介绍计算机科学经典书籍的文章。 徐宥说：“各位读者老大中有不少都是大学生，相信不少都参加过形形色色的英语写作培训班。如果当年您参加培训班的时候，老师没有介绍一本叫做 <The Elements of Style> (TEoS)...

我有时看字，有时写字。上过十数年语文课。像很多人一样，我在课堂外读书，在课堂内睡觉，在阅读中培养敏锐感觉，在睡梦中意淫前排美女。 我没有从读好书中学会写好书，却学会挑剔烂书。看烂书就像看H卡通里流着哈喇子的丑八怪猥亵美女，令我既恶心又愤怒。多余，滥用，浮...  

用户评价

针对英文写作，偏基础，但也是成体系的。对于中文写作来说，少用被动语态，慎用副词这样的建议也是有效的。等学习英文写作时候会再看几遍

这家出版社让我认识到所谓大陆或许真的有500家出版社的存在性！由于原文比较艰深，为了京东凑单，我不巧选了这个译本，翻译的还可以，但是貌似没有校对，比如原文中对例子是有所编号的，而译文部分并没有给标示出来，此书属于日日读，日日新的书，就不多评论鸟~

好像也没有说什么的感觉。
