问答题"She had been a big woman once but now her skeleton rose, draped loosely in unpadded skin that tightened again a paunch almost dropsically, as though muscle and tissue had been courage or fortitude which the days or the ears had consumed until only the indomitable skeleton was left rising like a ruin or a landmark above the somnolent and impervious guts, and above that the collapsed face that gave he impression of the bones themselves being outside the flesh, lifted into the driving day with an expression at once fatalistic and of a child"s astonished disappointment, until she turned and entered the house again and closed the door."

问答题The writer builds with words, and no builder uses a raw material more slippery and elusive and treacherous. A writer's work is a constant struggle to get the right word in the right place, to find that particular word that will convey his meaning exactly, that will persuade the reader or soothe him or startle or amuse him. He never succeeds altogether—sometimes he feels that he scarcely succeeds at all—but such successes as he has are what make the thing worth doing. Some words are what we call "colorful". By this we mean that they are calculated to produce a picture or induce an emotion. They are dressy instead of plain, specific instead of general, loud instead of soft. However it should not be supposed that the fancy word is always better. Often it is as well to write "Her heart beat" or "It was hot" in place of "Her heart pounded" or "It was blistering" if that is all it did or all it was. Ages differ in how they like their prose. The nineteenth century liked it rich and smoky. The twentieth has usually preferred it lean and cool. The twentieth century writer is wary of sounding feverish. He tends to pitch it low, to understate it, to throw it away. He knows that if he gets too colorful, the audience is likely to giggle.

问答题People miss planes, burn dinner, and stay up way past bedtime just to read one more page of a good book. But it"s not just the quality of the prose that causes the worm to burrow so deeply into a book. As typographers have long known, the aesthetics of print has a lot to do with keeping the eye on the page. Since Gutenberg put together the first printing press with movable type more than 500 years ago, typesetters have agonized over the optimum point size of the letters, whether they should have those curlicues(花线)on the ends called serifs(衬线), what style of font to choose, and the precise amount of white space needed between lines of text to make the words stand out. Printing got so good that readers fond it easier to immerse themselves in a book. But with the advent of the computer, reading became infinitely more difficult. The biggest problem was resolution—the clarity of words and images on the screen. A big stumbling block in computer evolution was fuzzy letters arranged on glaring screens that left the reader with a blinding headache. Readability is so poor that, according to Microsoft, the average reader hits the print button after just three paragraphs. As the rest of the world fiddled with new technologies that would provide higher resolution, Microsoft was working on new fonts that would make it easier for the eye to focus on a computer screen. But Bill Hill, a Scot hired in 1994 to head Microsoft"s typography section, wanted to know what was going on in readers" brains when reading a book. He was convinced people would switch from printed page to screen if he could duplicate the experience. "The magical thing about the book is it disappears when you read it. You"re not even aware of the book because the real book is going on in your head. How does it do it?" Hill says on the Microsoft Web site.
