Get beginnings straight and the rest is likely to take care of itself. (查看原文)

When readers see that point sentence at the end of a short, easily grasped opening segment, thay read and understand what follows more easily. (查看原文)

To write a document that readers will think is coherent, open every section, subsection, and the whole with a short, easily grasped introductory segment.

在加拿大读博士的同学强烈推荐我看这本书。今天刚刚读完。这本书由浅入深讨论怎样写得简练、易懂、优美。比如避免用抽象名词;句子主语要靠前,要短;写段落要先铺垫,提出问题,说问题的意义,文章重点,再详细解释。对非文学写作非常有帮助。

Williams 的各种版本的style 我都看了几遍,我感觉从最开始不认同他的一些观点,到后来大部分理解。感觉这过程中,writing 确实得到了很大的提高。虽然写作是要天赋的一件事情,但是读了这书,也就知道了啥是好的,为啥是好的。
