我说过了,不管是中文还是英文,文章要讲文气,而文气最容易是从背诵前贤的大作学得。作学生时我喜欢背诵圣经的《创世记》。兹录创世第一天的绝妙好文如下:
in the beginning god created the heaven and the earth。 and the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep。 and the spirit of god moved upon the face of the waters。 and god said, let there be light: and there was light。 and god saw the light, that it was good: and
god divided the light from the darkness。 and god called the light day, and the darkness he called night。 and the evening and the morning were the first day。
读清楚了吗?文气如虹,都是短句,是直写,全用简单时态,and stay in one tense!这是最可取的英文基础了。
