这篇文章来自《positivity blog》,他的依据是斯蒂芬.金的《On Writing》写 的读后感,他把这些经验作为自己写博客的借鉴。之所以选择这篇文章,一是想测试抓虾需要多长时间抓取文章。二是满足抓虾用户的需求,他们非常喜欢这种标 题。三是豆瓣九点已经成为我Blog的主要流量来源,这篇文章应该更符合豆瓣网友的口味。最后,原文是英文,我翻译为中文。考虑到我的英文水准有限,所以 把原文和翻译都附上,希望能有人指正其中的谬误。
1. Get to the point.抓住重点
Don’t waste your reader’s time with too much back-story, long intros or longer anecdotes about your life. Reduce the noise. Reduce the babbling. In On Writing King gets to his points quickly. Get to your point quickly too before your reader loses patience and moves on.
不要用过多的背景故事、冗长引子和作者个人传奇浪费读者的时间。要减少不必要的旁枝末节,要减少无意义的胡说八道。在《On Writing》中斯蒂芬.金很快能抓住重点,你也得那么做,否则你的读者将会失去耐心掉头而去。
2. Write a draft. Then let it rest.写好草稿,然后冷处理。
King recommends that you crank out a first draft and then put it in your drawer to let it rest. Now, how long you let your text rest may vary. King puts his manuscripts away for several months before rereading and start the editing process.
金建议,当你打好了第一个草稿之后,就把它锁在你的抽屉里,由它去好了。需要冷处理多长时间没有一定之限,金一般要把草稿放在抽屉里数月之久,然后才去再次通读并开始完善。
I often let a post rest for a day or two before I start editing (as I´m sure many other bloggers do from time to time too).
我本人经常写好一篇帖子后等待一到两天,然后再开始编辑修订。(我相信很多博客时不时也会这么做)
