读完这本书,热血沸腾的考托福去了。以为写作可以达到出神入化的程度,结果可想而知:在没有学会走之前就跑是要摔跤的。 抱歉,你的评论太短了抱歉,你的评论太短了抱歉,你的评论太短了抱歉,你的评论太短了抱歉,你的评论太短了抱歉,你的评论太短了抱歉,你的评论太短了 烦...
评分我最近有一件可喜的事儿,就是我恢复中断了十多年的记日记习惯。到底什么原因促使我重新拿起笔开始每天写一点呢?就是这本书,《写作法宝》这本书使我重新开始写。 我想无需怀疑,但凡阅读这本书的每个人,内心里都一定抱着一个寻求提升写作能力的美好心愿而掀动每一页书页。...
评分虽然读了两个文科专业但是我知道自己的阅读能力不怎么样,我一直以为是自己的语言水平有限,直到最近读了一本书,书里吐槽了当代美国人的写作方式——有的文章写的真的是非常的差!我恍然大悟,原来以前读不懂也有文章差的原因!作者顺便列举了一些政治演说,新闻节选,广告宣...
评分上半年改文章改得头昏脑涨,被co-author批评做的东西很好就是不懂写,于是愈发觉得写作的重要性。Tom Rawski作为系里德高望重的老教授,在他的写作课被取消了之后,固执得让系里每年在新生欢迎会上给每个人发一本The Element of Style. 但那本书实在太条条框框了,to-do和not-t...
评分虽然跟我寻找的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”。
评分Has some great tips. BUT, it's far from being the so-called "industry BIBLE". Sometimes he doesn't even follow his own advice.
评分Mostly harmless
评分写作最好的三本英文书,各自侧重点不同,是the elements of style,bird by bird,on writing well。这类写作风格,我总结为休谟风格,从休谟到毛姆,奥威尔,写【这就是纽约】的 E.B怀特,再到paul graham的【黑客与画家】,一个流派,易学易精。
评分以我的英文水平,太高;以我的母语水平,太低。书是好书,我不是好人。 书的确是好书,作者把自己放进一个小角落,再释放出强大的自信。
