A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
文字
Literal
Language operates between literal and metaphorical signification.
语言在字面意义和隐喻意义之间运作。
I had very literal parents and I wanted to survive with metaphor and art, and there was a real sense of shame around it.
我的父母都很文笔，我想用隐喻和艺术来生存，这让我感到非常羞愧。
We're all sons and daughters of God, and therefore in a very literal sense, brothers and sisters. And we ought to treat each other that way.
我们都是上帝的儿女，因此从字面上来说，我们是兄弟姐妹。我们应该这样对待彼此。
In workshopping short stories I learned how to get character down, and how to work with ratios of literal to fantastic to make a world that people can believe in even if it's a little wild or out there.
在工作购物的短篇小说中，我学会了如何塑造人物性格，以及如何运用文字与幻想的比例，来创造一个人们可以相信的世界，即使这个世界有点狂野或狂野。
