跟着纽约时报学写作

类似的借鉴,模仿我们的外刊语料部分一致都有。

这次的安排就是更为系统写,会通过学习分析纽时和其他外刊的文章,来讲解如果提高绝对写作能力。

而一个比较不错的资源是,纽约时报本身有作者对于自己文章的分析部分。所以通过作者自己的分析,我们自己更好的去明白作者写出这篇文章的过程。而我们通过对于文章的逆向分析的过程(软件研发里面叫做reverse engineering) 的过程,可以比较快的,和有针对性的去模仿。

每一讲的大体过程是

# Step 1

– Spotlight an excellent piece of writing published in The New York Times

根据我们的学习目的,找到可以模仿的外刊文章

# Step 2

– Try to demystify the effective craft moves writers make

解构和分析文章的展开方式

# Step 3

– Provide exercises to try those same moves in our own work.

针对性的练习

比如关于讲开头如何写的文章。

首先有这么一篇外刊文章

下面是我们分析以后可能采用的开头方式

1. Start with a vivid description of some kind — maybe what it feels like to have a cold, or what cold season is like in your family, school or community. Make the reader experience whatever you’re describing by using specific details that show rather than tell.

2. Start by making a common-cold-related metaphor: Having a cold is like _________. Or: Trying to treat a cold is like _________. Or: When you have a cold you feel like _________. Don’t lean on clichés; try to come up with a comparison that is new.

3. Start by asking a question that will get people’s attention, make them curious, or lead them into the facts you are about to explain.

4. Start with a story. Maybe you have a cold-related anecdote that happened to you, a friend or a relative.
