3、provide the answers by either making the best choice or filling in the blank with the information given in the passage.The Transactionby William ZinsserA school in Connecticut once held “a day to the arts,“ and I was asked if I would come and talk about writing as a vocation. When I arrived I found
4、that a second speaker had been invited - Dr. Brock, a surgeon who had recently begun to write and had sold some stories to magazines. He was going to talk about writing as an avocation. That made us a panel (专题讨 论小组) , and we sat down to face a crowd of students, teachers and parents, all eager to l
5、earn the secrets of our glamorous work.Dr. Brock was dressed in a bright red jacket, looking vaguely bohemian as authors are supposed to look, and the first question went to him. What was it like to be a writer?He said it was tremendous fun. Coming home from an arduous day at the hospital, he would
6、go straight to his yellow pad and write his tensions away. The words just flowed. It was easy. I then said that writing wasnt easy and it wasnt fun. It was hard and lonely, and the words seldom just flowed.Next Dr. Brock was asked if it was important to rewrite. Absolutely not, he said.“Let it all h
7、ang out,“ and whatever form the sentences take will reflect the writer at his most natural. I then said that rewriting is the essence of writing. I pointed out that professional writers rewrite their sentences repeatedly and then rewrite what they have rewritten. I mentioned that E, B. White and Jam
8、es Thurber rewrite their pieces eight or nine times.“What do you do on days when it isnt going well?“ Dr. Brock was asked. He said he just stopped writing and put the work aside for a day and then it would go better. I said the professional writer must establish a daily schedule and stick to it. I s
9、aid that writing is a craft, not an art, and that the man who runs away from his craft because he lacks inspiration is fooling himself. He is also going broke.“What if youre feeling depressed or unhappy?“ a student asked. “Wont that affect your writing? “Probably it will, Dr. Brock replied. Go fishi
10、ng. Take a walk. Probably it wont, I said. If your job is to write every day, you learn to do it like any other jobA student asked if we found it useful to circulate in the literary world. Dr. Brock said he was greatly enjoying his new life as a man of letters. And he told several stories of being t
11、aken to lunch by his publisher and his agent at Manhattan restaurants where writers and editors gather. I said that professional writers are solitary drudges who seldom see other writers.“Do you put symbolism in your writing?“ a student asked me.“Not if I can help it,“ I replied. I have an unbroken
12、record of missing the deeper meaning in any story, play or movie, and as for dance and mime, I have never had any idea of what is being conveyed.“I love symbols! “ Dr. Brock exclaimed, and he described with gusto the joy of weaving them through his work.So the morning went and it was a revelation to
13、 all of us. At the end Dr. Brock told me he was enormously interested in my answers - it had never occurred to him that writing could be hard. I told him I was just as interested in his answers - it had never occurred to me that writing could be easy. (Maybe I should take up surgery on the side. )As
14、 for the students, anyone might think we left them bewildered. But in fact we probably gave them a broader glimpse of the writing process than if only one of us had talked. For there isnt any “ right“ way to do such intensely personal work. There are all kinds of writers and all kinds of methods, an
15、d any method that helps you to say what you want to say is the right method for you.Some people write by day, others by night. Some people need silence, others turn on the radio. Some write by hand, some by typewriter or word processor, some by talking into a tape recorder. Some people write their f
16、irst draft in one long burst and then revise; others cant write the second paragraph until they have fiddled endlessly with the first.But all of them are vulnerable and all of them are tense. They are driven by a compulsion to put some part of themselves on paper, and yet they dont just write what c
17、omes naturally. They sit down to commit an act of literature, and the self who emerges on paper is far stiffer than the person who sat down to write. The problem is to find the real man or woman behind all the tension.Ultimately the product any writer has to sell is not the subject being written abo
18、ut, but who he or she is. I often find myself reading with interest about a topic I never thought would interest me. What holds me is the enthusiasm of the writer for his field. How was he drawn into it? What emotional baggage did he bring along? How did it change his life? Its not necessary to want
19、 to spend a year alone in Walden Pond to become deeply involved with a writer who did.This is the personal transaction thats at the heart of good nonfiction writing. Out of it come two of the most important qualities that this book will go in search for: humanity and warmth. Good writing has an aliv
20、eness that keeps the reader reading from one paragraph to the next, its not a question of gimmicks to “personalize“ the author. Its a question of using the English language in a way that will achieve the greatest strength and the least clutter.Can such principles be taught? Maybe not. But most of th
