美語情景對話 第34期:寫作 Writing
Todd: OK, Jeff, you're a writer.
傑夫，你是一名作家。Jeff: A little bit.
算是。Todd: OK.
好的。
Jeff: Hobby!
愛好而已！Todd: OK. Talk about writing.
好的。Jeff: I write, I think you, writers write about what they know. So, and I don't know much it's difficult, difficult to be a writer. Now, writers write about what they know so, um, I'm writing, I have a manuscript now about, uh, um, travelling, the people, the people I've come in contact with and, uh, what I thought about then, in the situation we've been in when we've met, sort of thing. But it's difficult, it's not easy, it's not an easy thing to do. At first I did sort of thinking, mm, anyone could do it almost if you put the time into it but now I think it's very difficult, you, you have to be creative, and it's a lot harder than I think it seems, to pick up a finished product, a book, um, a physical book, or to take a book from the library, I think it's, you underestimate the time that has gone into it. It's a long, lot of effort behind it 's fun, I like it, but it's very difficult. But it's good.
我寫作，我想作家會寫下自己知道的事情。我知道的不多，所以很難成爲作家。現在，作家都是寫下自己知道的事情，所以我寫作寫了一個關於旅遊的手稿，寫下了我認識的人，我的想法，我們相識時的情境等等。但寫作很難，它並不簡單。首先我就要構思，其實幾乎任何人都可以寫作，只要他們願意花時間，但是我認爲寫作很難，你必須創新，它比想象中更難。選擇一本完結的著作，一本書，一本實體書，從圖書館借本書，你往往忽略了這本書背後作者的心血。它的背後是長時間，大量的工作……寫作也很有趣，雖然很難，但我很喜歡。注：譯文屬原創，未經允許，請勿轉載。
