A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
写作
Writing
I enjoy writing, I enjoy my house, my family and, more than anything I enjoy the feeling of seeing each day used to the full to actually produce something. The end.
我喜欢写作，我喜欢我的房子，我的家庭，更重要的是，我喜欢看到每一天都被充分利用来创造一些东西的感觉。最后。
The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ, Moves on: nor all your Piety nor Wit Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line, Nor all your Tears wash out a Word of it.
移动的手指在写字;写好了信，就继续写下去。你的虔诚和智慧都不能把它收回来，使它删去半行，你的眼泪也不能把它的一个字都洗掉。
Accept criticism. If you do not offer your work for criticism and accept that criticism, meaning give it serious thought and attention, then you will never improve.
接受批评。如果你不把你的工作交给别人批评，也不接受别人的批评，也就是说，你要认真地思考和关注它，那么你永远都不会进步。
I'm writing a review of three books on feminism and science, and it's about social constructionism. So I would say I'm a social constructionist, whatever that means.
我正在写一本关于女权主义和科学的三本书的书评，是关于社会建构主义的。所以我会说我是一个社会建构主义者，不管这意味着什么。
When you're writing about people that are not very well off, you seem to see the kitchen sink. So it was a bit of a sort of cosy phrase that got used a bit too much.
当你写那些不太富裕的人的时候，你似乎看到了厨房里的水槽。所以这是一个使用得有点多的温馨的短语。
But there's nothing that gives me more thrill than when I'm writing and a couplet works. I find the right rhyme, or it's just perfect. There's nothing that exciting.
但是，没有什么比我在写对联时更让我激动的了。我找到了正确的韵律，或者它就是完美的。没什么好激动的。
Living composers writing for big band are very few and far between. There are not a lot of them, and I have a talent for doing it. I am zeroing in on what I do best.
为大乐队作曲的在世作曲家寥寥无几。他们并不多，而我有做这件事的天赋。我把注意力集中在我最擅长的事情上。
Hope begins in the dark, the stubborn hope that if you just show up and try to do the right thing, the dawn will come. You wait and watch and work: you don't give up.
希望开始于黑暗，固执的希望，如果你只是出现，并尝试做正确的事情，黎明就会到来。你等待，观察和工作:你不会放弃。
If you want to be a writer, you must do two things above all others: read a lot and write a lot. There's no way around these two things that I'm aware of, no shortcut.
如果你想成为一名作家，你首先必须做两件事:大量阅读和大量写作。据我所知，这两件事是无法回避的，没有捷径可走。
Green in nature is one thing, green in literature another. Nature and letters seem to have a natural antipathy; bring them together and they tear each other to pieces.
自然中的绿色是一回事，文学中的绿色是另一回事。自然和文字似乎有一种天然的反感;把他们聚在一起，他们就会互相撕成碎片。
Words - so innocent and powerless as they are, as standing in a dictionary, how potent for good and evil they become in the hands of one who knows how to combine them.
单词——它们是如此的无辜和无力，就像站在字典里，在一个知道如何将它们结合在一起的人的手中，它们对善恶的力量是多么的强大。
I went to Morocco, joined a band called Pegasus, ran out of money, went to Gibraltar and worked on the docks, writing songs about the sun and the morning and the birds.
我去了摩洛哥，加入了一个叫帕伽索斯的乐队，没钱了，去了直布罗陀，在码头工作，写关于太阳、早晨和鸟的歌。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
I get a fine warm feeling when I'm doing well, but that pleasure is pretty much negated by the pain of getting started each day. Let's face it, writing is hell.
当我做得很好的时候，我有一种很好的温暖的感觉，但是这种快乐被每天开始的痛苦抵消了。让我们面对现实吧，写作是地狱。
Words do not express thoughts very well. They always become a little different immediately after they are expressed, a little distorted, a little foolish.
语言不能很好地表达思想。它们总是在表达出来之后立刻变得有些不同，有些扭曲，有些愚蠢。
The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and a lightning bug.
正确的单词和几乎正确的单词之间的区别就像闪电和闪电虫之间的区别一样。
If a book is well written, I always find it too short.
如果一本书写得好，我总是觉得它太短了。
The scariest moment is always just before you start.
最可怕的时刻总是在你开始之前。
There are three rules for writing a novel. Unfortunately, no one knows what they are.
写小说有三条规则。不幸的是，没有人知道它们是什么。
