今天的这段对话,在讨论写作,
成为作家很难,你平时会写些什么
来听今天的讲解:
A: OK, Jeff, you're a writer.
杰夫,你是一名作家。
B: A little bit.
算是。
A: OK.
好的。
B: Hobby!
爱好而已!
A: OK. Talk about writing.
好的。
B: I write, I think you, writers write about what they know. So, and I don't know much so....so it's difficult, difficult to be a writer. Now, writers write about what they know so, um, I'm writing, I have a manuscript now about, uh, um, travelling, the people, the people I've come in contact with and, uh, what I thought about then, in the situation we've been in when we've met, sort of thing. But it's difficult, it's not easy, it's not an easy thing to do. At first I did sort of thinking, mm, anyone could do it almost if you put the time into it but now I think it's very difficult, you, you have to be creative, and it's a lot harder than I think it seems, to pick up a finished product, a book, um, a physical book, or to take a book from the library, I think it's, you underestimate the time that has gone into it. It's a long, lot of effort behind it so..it's fun, I like it, but it's very difficult. But it's good.
我写作,我想作家会写下自己知道的事情。我知道的不多,所以很难成为作家。现在,作家都是写下自己知道的事情,所以我写作写了一个关于旅游的手稿,写下了我认识的人,我的想法,我们相识时的情境等等。但写作很难,它并不简单。首先我就要构思,其实几乎任何人都可以写作,只要他们愿意花时间,但是我认为写作很难,你必须创新,它比想象中更难。选择一本完结的著作,一本书,一本实体书,从图书馆借本书,你往往忽略了这本书背后作者的心血。它的背后是长时间,大量的工作……写作也很有趣,虽然很难,但我很喜欢。
