| 自分の言葉で! | | “Remember,” warned Mr. Kempsey, “to rewrite the biography in your own words.” Teachers're always using that “in your own words.” I hate that. Authors knit their sentences tight. It's their job. Why make us unpick them, just to put it back together more shonkily? | | 「いいか。伝記は自分の言葉で書き直すんだぞ。」とケンプシー先生は警告した。僕はこの言い回しが大嫌いだ。作家たちは自分たちの文章を簡潔に書いている。それが作家の仕事だ。なぜ僕たちにその簡潔な文章をほどかせるのか。どうせ後で下手につなぎ合わせるだけなのに。 | | David Mitchell/Black Swan Green |
