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 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 Pierre 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 语篇解读 作者感到奇怪的是 很多著名的作家不喜欢看自己写的作品 分析原因 其中 之一便是 写的时候 头脑里面的构思非常不错 可是一旦写出来以后 却往往发现与本意 有很大的不同

seemingly in no hurry as she paid for her groceries A PhD student with not a lot of money I had hurried into the store to pick up some flowers I was in a huge rush thinking of my upcoming evening I did not want to be late for this date We were in Boston a place not always known for small conversation between strangers The woman stopped unloading her basket and looked up at me She smiled It was a nice smile warm and reassuring and I returned her gift by smiling back Must be a special lady whoever it is that will be getting those beautiful flowers she said Yes she s special I said and then to my embarrassment the words kept coming out It s only our second date but somehow I am just having the feeling she s the one Jokingly I added The only problem is that I can t figure out why she d want to date a guy like me Well I think she s very lucky to have a boyfriend who brings her such lovely flowers and who is obviously in love with her the woman said My husband used to bring me flowers every week even when times were tough and we didn t have much money Those were incredible days he was very romantic and of course I miss him since he s passed away I paid for my flowers as she was gathering up her groceries There was no doubt in my mind as I walked up to her I touched her on the shoulder and said You were right you know These flowers are indeed for a very special lady I handed her the flowers and thanked her for such a nice conversation It took her a moment to realize that I was giving her the flowers I had just purchased You have a wonderful evening I said I left her with

percent or more doing the Earth a favor while also helping our wallets Not long ago my wife PJ and I tried a new diet not to lose a little weight 用心 爱心 专心 5 but to answer an annoying question about climate change Scientists have reported recently that the world is heating up even faster than predicted only a few years ago and that the consequences could be severe if we don t keep reducing emissions 排放 of carbon dioxide CO2 and other greenhouse gases that are trapping heat in our atmosphere We decided to try an experiment For one month we recorded our personal emissions of CO2 We wanted to see how much we could cut back so we went on a strict diet The average US household 家庭 produces about 150 pounds of CO2 a day by doing common place things like turning on air conditioning or driving cars That s more than twice the European average and almost five times the global average mostly because Americans drive more and have bigger houses But how much should we try to reduce For an answer I checked with Tim Flannery author of The Weather Makers How Man Is Changing the Climate and What It Means for Life on Earth in his book he had challenged readers to make deep cuts in personal emissions to keep the world from reaching extremely important tipping points such as the melting 融化 of the ice sheets in Greenland or West Antarctica To stay below that point we need to reduce CO2 emissions by 80 percent he said Good advice I thought I d opened our bedroom windows to let in the wind We d gotten so used to keeping our air conditioning going around the clock I d almost forgotten the windows even opened We should not let this happen again It s time for us to change our habits if necessary 语篇解读 我们已经知道 减缓气候变化最快 最经济的办法就是少用能源 举手之劳 大部分人就能把所耗费的能源减少 25 以上 并能减少 CO2 的排放量 一方面爱护地球 另一方面对自己的钱包也有帮助 那我们何乐而不为呢 5 Why did the author and his wife try a new diet A To take special kinds of food B To respond to clima
