Part 2

很欣赏作者一个写作的方式是引导我们换位思考。不仅让思维转换一下子看得清楚明白，而且更具有幽默感。这里作者写到关于写评论要注意的细节，强调要言之有物，更要切中要害：

• As a reviewer your job is more to report than to make an aesthetic judgment. You are the deputy for the average man or woman who wants to know:
  “What is the new TV series about?”
  “Is the movie too dirty for the kids?”
  “Will the book really improve my sex life or tell me how to make a chocolate mousse?”

• The reader deserves a movie buff who will bring along a reservoir of knowledge, passion and prejudice.

写好一篇文章确实要从阅读者的需求出发。评论或者批评，还有不可忽视的一个对象，是被剖析的文本，表演，或者其他形式的作品。在这三者之间的平衡，也是微妙而至关重要。OWW在这一点上，的确是成了一个范本。

以上。
