E.B.怀特（E. B. White, 1899—1985），生于纽约蒙特弗农，毕业于康奈尔大学。“二十世纪最伟大的美国随笔作家”。作为《纽约客》主要撰稿人的怀特一手奠定了影响深远的“《纽约客》文风”。怀特对这个世界上的一切都充满关爱，他的道德与他的文章一样山高水长。除了他终生挚爱的随笔之外，他还为孩子们写了三本书：《斯图尔特鼠小弟》（又译《精灵鼠小弟》）、《夏洛的网》与《吹小号的天鹅》，同样成为儿童与成人共同喜爱的文学经典。
There are roughly three New Yorks. There is, first, the New York of the man or woman who was born there, who takes the city for granted and accepts its size, its turbulence as natural and inevitable. Second, there is the New York of the commuter--the city that is devoured by locusts each day and spat out each night. Third, there is New York of the person who was born somewhere else and came to New York in quest of something. Of these trembling cities the greatest is the last--the city of final destination, the city that is a goal. It is this third city that accounts for New York’s high strung disposition, its poetical deportment, its dedication to the arts, and its incomparable achievements. (查看原文)
Here is New York, by E.B.White The littel Bookroom, NY 2000 p19 "It can destroy an individual, or it can fulfill him, depending a good deal on luck. No one should come to New york to live unless he is willing to be lucky." --White is so apt at playing with ...

It took me a while to realize the man who wrote Here is New York also wrote Charlotte’s Web. But soon I realized another thing—a good writer writes well with any genre. Obviously E.B. White is more than a good writer, because he inspires. I came across C...

如果说随笔作家都喜欢自由自在，享受无拘无束的生活的话，无疑，怀特老头就是这样一个人。他的随笔不造作不撒谎，就是那种真诚中所包含的冷幽默，是这老头慢悠悠地对现代社会某些理所当然事物的无声嘲讽。

到了乡村就要关心粮食和家禽，到了城市就要申诉污染和政治，难为作家在美文和讽刺中穿梭

4.3 對任何年邁與鬥敗帶來的尊重和傷感，老頭寫的平實又舒緩。看其散文有點像在看侯麥「春天的故事」。鵝的那篇寫的真好

很喜欢农场的生活，猪的死亡，鹅的老去，从树上爬下的浣熊，厨房里烧柴的大铁炉，爱趴在床上惬意地倚在枕头上观鸟的獾狗弗雷德，飓风，暴雪，苹果树下的猪舍…… “孩子们把春天严实地留在他们棕色的小拳头里，而成年人对春天将信将疑，他们把它留在心里。”

聪明的头脑、才华横溢的双手、鼻腔里的幽默，这些都不难，最难的是在拥有它们后仍然保持这样一颗温柔的心

刚上班的时候碰见个同事喜欢EB怀特，好奇读了两篇，挺喜欢的。当时困惑写出这种文章的人为啥能写出《夏洛特的网》那种东西，今年看了看别人的评论，感觉那本书可能是我没看懂
