Worries of Writers
It is true that good writers rewrite and rewrite and then rewrite some more. But in order to work up the desire to rewrite, it is important to learn to like what you write at the early stage.
I am surprised at the number of famous writers I know who say that they so dislike reading their own writing later that they even hate to look over the publishers’ opinions. One reason we may dislike reading our own work is that we’ re often disappointed that the rich ideas in our minds seem very thin and plain when first written down. Jerry Fodor and Steven Pinker suggest that this fact may be a result of how our minds work.
Different from popular belief, we do not usually think in the words and sentences of ordinary language but in symbols for ideas [ known as "mentalese" (心理语) ]. And writing our ideas down is an act of translation from that symbolic language. But while mentalese contains our thoughts in the form of a complex tapestry(织锦) , writing can only be composed one thread at a time. Therefore it should not be surprising that our first attempt at expressing ideas should look so simple. It is only by repeatedly rewriting that we produce new threads and connect them to get closer to the ideas formed in our minds.
When people write as if some strict critics (批评家) are looking over their shoulder, they are so worried about what this critic might say that they get stuck before they even start. Peter Elbow makes an excellent suggestion to deal with this problem. When writing we should have two different minds. At the first stage, we should see every idea, as well as the words we use to express it, as wonderful and worth putting down. It is only during rewrites that we should examine what we excitedly wrote in the first stage and check for weaknesses.
At the first stage, the writers should think every idea and every word are wonderful and worth putting all down.
选项
A、TRUE
B、FALSE
C、Not Given
答案
A
解析
题干要求判断在第一阶段作家是否应该认为每个想法和每个词语都是很棒的并值得把它们都记录下来。最后一段中作者提到了一个建议,应该把写作分为两个阶段。在第一个阶段,“we should see every idea,as well as the words we use to express it,as wonderful and worth putting down”,意思是“我们应该认为每个想法,以及我们用来表达这个想法的每个词语都是很棒的,并值得把它们都记下来”,所以题干是正确的。
