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.

  • -- Carl Hiaasen 卡尔·希尔森

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。
