哈哈,一下子就笑了,不禁回想起了去年写的毕业论文,为了凑字数,真的是能用一个词表达的,硬要用短语。以后写东西该做减法,努力达到言简意赅,干净利索。

想到大学,就怀念那时的人和事了。But I know I have to move on.

(2) Good writers are visible just behind their words. 

认识对实践具有指导意义。我相信,透过作品可以看到作者的影子。有些书读得泪流满面,大概是作者扣到了我的心弦,看透了我的内心。虽素未谋面,却有故交之感,而我喜欢这种感觉。

(3) 第四章谈到风格,作家个人风格确实很重要,一看这个文字就知道是谁的作品,就像每个人都有其独特的嗓音。正是不同让我们产生好奇心,而好奇心又让我们留恋这个世界。

生活中,希望自己也慢慢形成自己的风格,一种简单安定的风格。可以享受绵绵细雨,亦能欣赏大雨滂沱,不必非要怎样,快乐就好。
