把这一句，留给此刻的你

To me, the newspaper business was a way to learn about life and how things worked in the real world and how people spoke. You learn all the skills - you learn to listen, you learn to take notes - everything you use later as a novelist was valuable training in the newspaper world. But I always wanted to write novels.

对我来说，报纸行业是一种了解生活的方式，了解现实世界中的事物以及人们如何说话。你学会了所有的技巧——你学会了倾听，你学会了记笔记——你以后作为小说家所使用的一切都是在报界得到的宝贵训练。但我一直想写小说。
