第34天 | 马拉松阅读第一辑:On Writing Well
大家好,我是英语干货君,马拉松阅读的发起者,精读精析自学英语的实践者。
今日名言分享:
今天是On Writing Well马拉松阅读的第34天,继续精读精析第七章usage。本章主要讲英语惯用法的问题。
【导读】:下面这几句话及其背后所暗含的对语言的态度值得我们每个语言学习者所谨记!!
1. If you must use "comprise," use it right.
必备语言学习态度1:要用就用对!当然,要想达到“要用就用对”的地步,是要下一番苦功夫的,要勤读,要勤思,要勤查,要勤写。
2. We were not pedants, so hung up on correctness that we didn't want the language to keep refreshing itself with phrases like "hung up." But that didn't mean we had to accept every atrocity that comes stumbling in.
必备语言学习态度2:不默守陈规,不随波逐流!每年都有大量的新词出现,互联网的发展更使得网络用语无处不在。因此,在新的表达方式面前,要批判式对待,不能全部"拿来”, 也不能全部否决,一个不用。这个度的把握,不把语言学到十足好,是很难的。
3. Still, there's comfort in the sight of so many watchdogs standing Canute-like on the beach, trying to hold back the tide. That's where all careful writers ought to be—looking at every new piece of flotsam that washes up and asking "Do we need it?"
必备语言学习态度3:不胡里花哨,一切以实用为第一要务!这也是这本书在英语写作、语言使用上的基本态度。其实,何止写作,做人亦当如此啊。
