I bought this book for almost two years, but never finished reading it. Appealing stories always distract me. I take seriously to enhance my writing this time. The fellowing is my note. Part One: 11 principles of usage 1. Form the possessive singular of n...
评分听说这是一本相当牛的书，特地想见识一下。 确实是很实用的书，里面都是非常基础的写作常识，但是即使有着丰富写作经验的人也很不见得能保证不犯这些错误。这是一本类似于《Effective C++》那样的经典之作。只可惜内容实在太少啦，刚刚有一点“真是不错的书”的感觉，就结束了...
评分From my perspective, no book in shorter sapce, with fewer words, will help any writer more than this persistent little volume which the work remains a nonpareil: direct, correct, and delightful. Truth be told, i was a student that needed help in my punct...
评分建议上a网买第四版的，封面是一只狗狗。 我们精读老师推荐的，她说这本书在欧美学写作的学生中基本是人手一本，称之为“the little book”。整本书叙述得非常清楚，图片和例句也穿插得当，最有意思的是老师在第一堂课给我们印发的“be clear”那章，它非常地不“clear”，甚至...
评分剑桥英语语法主编溥哲夫（Geoffrey Pullum) 痛骂Strunk和White的ELEMENTS OF STYLE. Pullum在句法理论领域的学术水平完全超越怀疑。看完之后，我觉得他的批评很有道理。小白书的两位主编确实是不太懂英语语法的小白，我为我的盲从感到羞愧。 50 YEARS OF STUPID GRAMMAR ADVIC...

多花了10刀只为插图= = 都是写作最基本的要素，然而很多人会忽略。。
评分印象最深的应该就是: The approach to style is by way of plainness, simplicity, orderliness, sincerity. 然后可能还有具体，清楚吧。差不多就是Prof. Wong的风格和言传身教。（话说prof. Wong要去米国了。像在新加坡要少去一个会使心里感到踏实的长辈呢。） 没错，语言反应的其实还是思想，可能也有人生哲学在里面。 受教。
评分拖延症晚期终于把这本短小精悍的书看完了，感觉像一个脾气火爆的老头子和你唠嗑。 书中很多写作理念和我之前的直觉暗合，赞许一个人文笔清丽、言辞优美只是形容他/她写作能力很表层的一方面。而逻辑清晰、准确有力、深入浅出，时时刻刻考虑到读者的阅读体验可能才是the principle mark of good style. 我给十星⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
评分All the English writers know the book.
