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.

  • -- Katherine Anne Porter 凯瑟琳·安·波特

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。
