字號:

Todd: OK, Jeff, you're a writer.
    杰夫,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 so....so 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 so..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,所以很難成為作家。現(xiàn)在,作家都是寫下自己知道的事情,所以我寫作寫了一個關(guān)于旅游的手稿,寫下了我認(rèn)識的人,我的想法,我們相識時的情境等等。但寫作很難,它并不簡單。首先我就要構(gòu)思,其實(shí)幾乎任何人都可以寫作,只要他們愿意花時間,但是我認(rèn)為寫作很難,你必須創(chuàng)新,它比想象中更難。選擇一本完結(jié)的著作,一本書,一本實(shí)體書,從圖書館借本書,你往往忽略了這本書背后作者的心血。它的背后是長時間,大量的工作……寫作也很有趣,雖然很難,但我很喜歡。
