把这一句，留给此刻的你

You can't write about people out of textbooks, and you can't use jargon. You have to speak clearly and simply and purely in a language that a six-year-old child can understand; and yet have the meanings and the overtones of language, and the implications, that appeal to the highest intelligence.

你不能写教科书之外的人物，你也不能使用术语。你必须用一个六岁的孩子能听懂的语言清晰、简单、纯粹地说;然而，语言的含义和暗示，以及它的含意，都能吸引最高的智力。

— Katherine Anne Porter 凯瑟琳·安·波特
