美文欣賞:拿起筆還是放下?
To write or not to write
拿起筆還是放下Writing is not easy. I do it everyday.
寫作非常不容易。我每天都在寫作。And I can tell you, it's quite a challenge.
我可以告訴你,這是一個相當大的挑戰。
But, the More I do it, the easier I get to just write.
但是,我寫作的越多,我就越會容易的感覺下筆如有神。Sometimes, that's the most difficult part starting.
有時候,最困難的部分是開始。When people ask me about writing-how they can write-I often suggest they brainstorm first.
當人們問我關於寫作——他們如何寫作——我通常建議他們先作頭腦風暴。Writing the main ideas collected to a topic, usually produces some great things.
寫出收集到一個話題的主要思想,這個話題通常會產生一些偉大的東西。If the things get organized, perhaps through an outline,
如果條理化,也許會產生一份提綱,you can write something really great.
你就可以寫出一些非常棒的東西。Most of the writings I do with spontaneous, I just start writing.
大部分的作品我都是自然而然寫出,我才剛開始寫作。I just stopped and done.
我只是停下來做而已。But I always go over what I wrote at least two times.
但我總是至少兩次重溫自己所寫的。The first time I go over my writing is spell-check the word,
第一次我檢查寫作中的詞語拼寫,It's unacceptable to deliver a piece of writing with misspelling in it.
我不能接受一篇文章裡有拼寫差錯的問題出現。The second time, I actually read what I wrote aloud,
第二次,我大聲讀出我所寫的,and add things that may I missed,
並新增可能我錯過的東西,it could be a idea that seems incomplete or something else.
它可能是一個似乎不完整或別的什麼東西。If you have the time, it's good to put your writing down for a little while,
如果你有時間,最好讓你的寫作停下來一會兒,and read it again later, and to see how you like it.
再讀一遍,看看你有多喜歡它。You may have something you wish to add or subtract.
你可能有一些想增加或者刪減的東西。If you have a serious paper to write,
如果你想寫些非常嚴肅的東西,and you have completed all of the things I talked about,
那你一定要按照我剛才談到的所有的東西去做,the best thing to do-before you return your paper-is to have someone to read what you wrote and make comments on it.
在你回到這篇文章前最好的事情就是有人讀你寫的東西並發表看法。There is no doubt that practice makes perfect.
毫無疑問,熟能生巧。or at least better, so, if you want to be a better writer in Korean or English,
至少會更好,所以,如果你想成為一位更好的韓語或英語作家,I recommend that you write as much as you can.
我建議你寫的越多越好。
