Re: [文法]想問大家 文法很重要嗎S

[dale (冰城城主)]

※ 引述《PINGU (旅行的意義)》之銘言：
        I must disagree with you.  I don't believe English learning
        should be painful at any stage.  I, for one, have never
        suffered the pain; and I would recommend to look for a
        different method for anyone who has.

        I also believe that imitation can be (and probably is) a
        dangerous process.  The benign effect of good novels and
        exceptional quotes should be allowed to bear fruit via
        laid-back Sunday afternoon readings -- not active imitation!
        (Lest the weight of literary giants burden the tender stems
        of creativity...)

        Imitation may help beginning writers to become good writers,
        but this is not done without an enormous cost.  The structure
        of a sentence is an expression of the author's thoughts;
        it is the child of his contemplations.  And so, by imitating
        the structure, the imitator must suppress his own in exchange
        for someone else's, of which the ruminations he has never
        walked.  And so he may never benefit from.

        So -- yes, imitation may be a speedy way to manufacture good
        writers, but these "good writers" may thus never become
        "great writers."

→ dale:求「最好的」──如果單論寫作這件事上。
→ dale:（當然這篇只是個人意見，所以……只是意見。:)）
→ dale:回應 Attui：那恭喜你囉，學到新東西。:)
推 aiezoe:其實我只講張 因為我以為講張就夠了 另外我講的
