: 請版友推荐有關修辭或文法的書

The elements of style
這是一本出版了快一百年的小書
內容最多的第四版也只有一百零五頁
完全沒有談倒裝、省略、插入…
但是他影響了整個英文寫作世界
史蒂芬金在「談寫作」的序裡面這樣說：
This is a short book because most books about writing are filled with
bullshit. Fiction writers, present company included, don't understand very
much about what they do — not why it works when it's good, not why it
doesn't when it's bad. I figured the shorter the book, the less the bullshit.
One notable exception to the bullshit rule is The Elements of Style, by
William Strunk Jr. and E.B. White. There is little or no detectable bullshit
in that book. (Of course, its short; at eighty-five pages it's much shorter
than this one.) I'll tell you right now that every aspiring writer should
read The Elements of Style. Rule 17 in the chapter titled Principles of
Composition is "Omit needless words." I will try to do that here.
