1. I can live for two months on a good compliment. (Mark Twain , American writer)
    只凭一句赞美的话我就可以充实地活上两个月。(美国作家 马克・吐温)

2. In the breaking and remaking, in the timing, interweaving, beginning afresh, the writer comes to discern things in his material which were not consciously in his mind when he began.
    动笔前先列什么提纲。作家在剪裁修改、构思时间、穿插情节、以至从头重写的过程中，会领悟到素材中很多东西是他刚动笔时所未意识到的。

3. In her sixth period today, Mrs. Cox taught a poem by a well-known Black writer in the United States.
    今天第六节课，科克斯夫人讲一位美国著名黑人作家写的一首诗。

4. In a well-known British newspaper, a writer argued recently that "industry is caught in a web of bribery" and that everyone is "on the take".
    在一家知名英国报纸上，最近有位作者指出"企业已陷入贿赂的蛛网"，人人都"贪赃枉法"。

5. For this reason also the writer, like any other artist, has no resting place, no crowd or movement in which he may take comfort, no judgment from outside which can replace the judgment from within.
    也是由于这个原因，作家同任何艺术家一样，找不到可休息的场所，找不到伙伴和活动使自己得到安逸。任何局外人的判断也比不上他内心的正确判断。
