A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
写
Write
There is tremendous interest in e-mail and what it will tell you when it comes to an information request because that is today's statement of record. No one writes memos and tucks them away in a desk anymore. Today it starts and ends with e-mail.
人们对电子邮件非常感兴趣，当涉及到信息请求时，它会告诉你什么，因为这就是今天的记录声明。再也没有人写备忘录然后把它们塞到桌子里了。今天，它以电子邮件开始和结束。
Lots of people can write a good first page but to sustain it, that's my litmus test. If I flip to the middle of the book and there's a piece of dialogue that's just outstanding, or a description, then I'll flip back to the first page and start it.
很多人都能写出好文章的第一页，但要坚持下去，这是我的试金石。如果我翻到书的中间有一段精彩的对话，或者一段描述，我就会翻回第一页，然后开始。
Very few people possess true artistic ability. It is therefore both unseemly and unproductive to irritate the situation by making an effort. If you have a burning, restless urge to write or paint, simply eat something sweet and the feeling will pass.
很少有人有真正的艺术才能。因此，通过努力来刺激局势既不合适，也没有效果。如果你有一种强烈的，不安分的写作或绘画的冲动，只要吃点甜食，这种感觉就会过去。
The magazine, the daytime show, we've always tried to write affordable, accessible. Those are key words for us, and I do mean us, a huge staff of people at the magazine who love to cook affordable, friendly food that helps families eat better for less.
杂志，日间节目，我们一直都在努力写价格实惠，通俗易懂的东西。这些都是我们的关键词，我指的是我们，杂志的一大批工作人员，他们喜欢烹饪实惠、友好的食物，帮助家庭用更少的钱吃得更好。
I took two fiction-writing courses in college and majored in literature. I felt that I had a knack though I wouldn't go so far as to call it a talent. But it scared me. I felt it was a childish thing wanting to write and that I would forget about it eventually.
我在大学里修了两门小说写作课程，主修文学。我觉得我有一种诀窍，尽管我不会把它称为天赋。但我很害怕。我觉得想写作是一件幼稚的事情，我最终会忘记它。
If you want to write, write it. That's the first rule. And send it in, and send it in to someone who can publish it or get it published. Don't send it to me. Don't show it to your spouse, or your significant other, or your parents, or somebody. They're not going to publish it.
如果你想写，就写吧。这是第一条规则。把它寄给，寄给那些能够发表它的人。别寄给我。不要把它展示给你的配偶，或你的另一半，或你的父母，或其他人。他们不会出版的。
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。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
I don't have the notion that everybody has to write in some single academic style.
我不认为每个人都必须以某种单一的学术风格写作。
Everybody has a cartoon of themselves. Mine is: I write very fast, and I'm ruthlessly efficient with my time.
每个人都有自己的卡通形象。我的回答是:我写得很快，而且我的时间效率极高。
If you know somebody is going to be awfully annoyed by something you write, that's obviously very satisfying, and if they howl with rage or cry, that's honey.
如果你知道有人会被你写的东西惹恼，这显然是非常令人满意的，如果他们因为愤怒而嚎啕大哭，那就是蜜糖。
It's not how big your pencil is; it's how you write your name.
重要的不是你的铅笔有多大;这是你写名字的方式。
Each word I write brings me closer to finding the right ones.
我写的每一个单词都让我离找到正确的单词更近了一步。
Sure, I have advice for people starting to write. Don't. I don't need the competition.
当然，我对开始写作的人有一些建议。不喜欢。我不需要竞争。
