把这一句，留给此刻的你
A novel's whole pattern is rarely apparent at the outset of writing, or even at the end; that is when the writer finds out what a novel is about, and the job becomes one of understanding and deepening or sharpening what is already written. That is finding the theme.
一部小说的整体模式在写作之初，甚至在结尾都很少能明显地体现出来;也就是当作家发现小说是关于什么的时候，他的工作就变成了理解和加深或锐化已经写好的东西。这就是找到主题。
