A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
读者
Readers
Readers are made by readers.
读者是由读者创造的。
Books belong to their readers.
书是属于读者的。
Don't be afraid to make a mistake, your readers might like it.
不要害怕犯错，你的读者可能会喜欢。
Readers are what it's all about, aren't they? If not, why am I writing?
读者就是一切，不是吗?如果不是，我为什么要写作?
In any event, it's not exactly a secret to regular readers what my views on the war are.
无论如何，我对战争的看法对普通读者来说并不是什么秘密。
Readers have to be sought out and won to the light of the page, poem by poem, one by one by one.
读者必须被找到，并赢得光明的一页，一首又一首的诗，一个又一个。
The secret of successful journalism is to make your readers so angry they will write half your paper for you.
成功的新闻的秘诀是让你的读者非常生气，他们会为你写一半的文章。
It remains unbelievable to me that I have any readers beyond my own blood relations - it's a crazy, wild gift.
对我来说，除了我自己的血缘关系之外，还有其他读者，这仍然是难以置信的——这是一种疯狂、狂野的天赋。
My goal is to teach readers how to treat and respect themselves and each other in an entertaining way. I do that in all of my books.
我的目标是教会读者如何用一种有趣的方式对待自己和彼此尊重。我所有的书都是这么写的。
I love writing for young adults because they are such a wonderful audience, they are good readers, and they care about the books they read.
我喜欢为年轻人写作，因为他们是很棒的读者，他们是很好的读者，他们关心他们读的书。
I think you tell the story that has to be told. You tell the story that's the truth. You tell the story that readers will be interested in and should know about.
我认为你讲了一个必须讲的故事。你说的是事实。你讲述的故事，读者会感兴趣，应该知道。
This will surprise some of your readers, but my primary interest is not with computer security. I am primarily interested in writing software that works as intended.
这将使您的一些读者感到惊讶，但我的主要兴趣不是计算机安全。我主要感兴趣的是编写按预期工作的软件。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
My approach with social media is to interact with the readers I already have. I do it mostly to procrastinate from my writing. It's an escape. It's the only socializing I get outside of my wife, and she gets sick of me.
我使用社交媒体的方法是与我已有的读者互动。我这样做主要是为了拖延写作。这是一个逃脱。这是我唯一一次和妻子以外的人交往，她对我很反感。
I think that different pleasures work for different readers - a friend of mine won't read anything that's not a cardiovascular sort of page-turner. I tend to care less about plot, but I'm a sucker for humor and strangeness.
我认为不同的快乐适用于不同的读者——我的一个朋友不会读任何不引人入胜的书。我不太在意情节，但我喜欢幽默和奇怪。
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。
I believe we should spend less time worrying about the quantity of books children read and more time introducing them to quality books that will turn them on to the joy of reading and turn them into lifelong readers.
我认为我们应该少花时间去担心孩子们读了多少书，多花时间给他们介绍一些高质量的书，这些书能让他们享受阅读的乐趣，让他们成为终生的读者。
You can do the best research and be making the strongest intellectual argument, but if readers don't get past the third paragraph you've wasted your energy and valuable ink.
你可以做最好的研究，提出最有力的学术论点，但如果读者没有读完第三段，你就浪费了你的精力和宝贵的墨水。
Honestly, I don't think I'm a good promoter. I spend almost zero time or effort asking new readers to sample or purchase my work. That's not the job of the author. We should write our best material and leave it up to readers to spread the word.
老实说，我不认为我是一个好的推广者。我几乎没有花任何时间或精力让新读者来品尝或购买我的作品。那不是作者的工作。我们应该写出最好的材料，让读者来传播。
