A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
小说
Fiction
I'd rather let the fiction speak for itself and I don't want to write fiction that tells people how to feel, and I don't want to be judgmental in the fiction.
我宁愿让小说自己说话，我不想写那些告诉人们如何感受的小说，我也不想在小说中做出评判。
I like writing for movies. It's nice to be alone working on fiction in your room, and then it's nice to be in a room with a bunch of people working on a movie.
我喜欢为电影写作。一个人在房间里写小说很好，和一群人一起写电影也很好。
Nonfiction speaks to the head. Fiction speaks to the heart. Poetry speaks to the soul. It's the essence of beauty. The essence of pain. It pleases the eye and the ear.
非小说类作品与头脑对话。小说能打动人心。诗歌与灵魂对话。这是美的本质。痛苦的本质。它使人赏心悦目。
I feel like science fiction can get a bad rap sometimes because people make something just to throw an alien in it or just to make it weird, and it doesn't really have a story.
我觉得科幻小说有时会有不好的名声，因为人们做一些东西只是为了把外星人扔进去，或者只是为了让它看起来很奇怪，而它并没有真正的故事。
I think that there are fiction writers for whom that works well. I could never do it. I feel as if, by the time I see that it's a poem, it's almost written in my head somewhere.
我认为有些小说家的作品很好。我永远也做不到。我觉得，当我看到这是一首诗的时候，它几乎已经写在我的脑海里了。
I'm not really a science-fiction fan, I quite like the idea of getting away from the science-fiction side of it, for two episodes. It was lovely, it was a super story and great fun.
我不是一个真正的科幻迷，我很喜欢从科幻的角度出发，看两集。它很可爱，是个超级有趣的故事。
Unlike fiction, which you create before you go into production, with reality you kind of create it after everything is produced. The drama and the storytelling is really done in post.
与小说不同的是，小说是你在投入生产之前创作的，而现实是你在所有东西都生产出来之后创作的。戏剧和故事都是后期完成的。
Everything a writer learns about the art or craft of fiction takes just a little away from his need or desire to write at all. In the end he knows all the tricks and has nothing to say.
一个作家对小说艺术或工艺的了解，只会使他对写作的需要或欲望减少一点点。最后他知道了所有的诀窍，却无话可说。
I don't really have special rituals, but I don't try to write fiction unless I have a minimum of a few hours. For me, it takes a while to settle into a mode where I'm truly concentrating.
我没有什么特别的仪式，但我不会写小说，除非我有几个小时的时间。对我来说，我需要一段时间来适应一种真正集中注意力的模式。
But even gold is not everything: and only a fanatic, and a rather foolish fanatic, would say that this style of fiction summed up and exhausted all the good that fiction could give and do.
但即使是金子也不是一切:只有一个狂热者，一个相当愚蠢的狂热者，才会说这种小说风格总结并耗尽了小说所能给予和做的一切美好。
The reason that fiction is more interesting than any other form of literature, to those who really like to study people, is that in fiction the author can really tell the truth without humiliating himself.
对于那些真正喜欢研究人的人来说，小说比其他任何一种文学形式都更有趣的原因在于，在小说中，作者可以真实地说出真相，而不会让自己蒙羞。
I have more freedom when I write fiction, but my memoirs have had a much stronger impact on my readers. Somehow the 'message,' even if I am not even aware that there is one, is conveyed better in this form.
当我写小说时，我有了更多的自由，但我的回忆录对我的读者产生了更大的影响。不知何故，“信息”，即使我甚至不知道有一个，以这种形式更好地传达。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
Then I discovered I loved writing poetry more than fiction.
后来我发现我喜欢写诗胜过写小说。
Fiction is the truth inside the lie.
虚构是谎言里的真相。
I'm able to separate fiction and reality. I guess it remains to be seen if other people are.
我能区分小说和现实。我想其他人是否会这样还有待观察。
Fiction and essays can create empathy for the theoretical stranger.
小说和散文可以为理论上的陌生人创造同理心。
Literature is a luxury; fiction is a necessity.
文学是奢侈品;小说是必需品。
Given that external reality is a fiction, the writer's role is almost superfluous. He does not need to invent the fiction because it is already there.
鉴于外部现实是虚构的，作者的角色几乎是多余的。他不需要虚构，因为小说已经存在了。
