Humor
幽默是寫作的秘密武器,Joke is no joke 就是幽默的精髓。看似嬉笑怒罵,實則嚴肅深刻。
幽默需要遵循以下原則:語言干練、勿要生僻、勿要濫用、張弛有度、基于事實;
Master the craft of writing good “straight” English;
Don’t search for the outlandish and scorn what seems too ordinary;
Don’t strain for laughs; humor is built on surprise, and you can surprise the reader only so often.
