The Elements of Style pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
This book is intended for use in English courses in which the practice of composition is combined with the study of literature. It aims to give in brief space the principal requirements of plain English style. It aims to lighten the task of instructor and student by concentrating attention (in Chapters II and III) on a few essentials, the rules of usage and principles of composition most commonly violated. The numbers of the sections may be used as references in correcting manuscript.
The book covers only a small portion of the field of English style, but the experience of its writer has been that once past the essentials, students profit most by individual instruction based on the problems of their own work, and that each instructor has his own body of theory, which he prefers to that offered by any textbook.
The writer's colleagues in the Department of English in Cornell University have greatly helped him in the preparation of his manuscript. Mr. George McLane Wood has kindly consented to the inclusion under Rule 11 of some material from his Suggestions to Authors.
The following books are recommended for reference or further study: in connection with Chapters II and IV, F. Howard Collins, Author and Printer (Henry Frowde); Chicago University Press, Manual of Style; T. L. De Vinne Correct Composition (The Century Company); Horace Hart, Rules for Compositors and Printers (Oxford University Press); George McLane Wood, Extracts from the Style-Book of the Government Printing Office (United States Geological Survey); in connection with Chapters III and V, Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch, The Art of Writing (Putnams), especially the chapter, Interlude on Jargon; George McLane Wood, Suggestions to Authors (United States Geological Survey); John Leslie Hall, English Usage (Scott, Foresman and Co.); James P. Kelly, Workmanship in Words (Little, Brown and Co.).
It is an old observation that the best writers sometimes disregard the rules of rhetoric. When they do so, however, the reader will usually find in the sentence some compensating merit, attained at the cost of the violation. Unless he is certain of doing as well, he will probably do best to follow the rules. After he has learned, by their guidance, to write plain English adequate for everyday uses, let him look, for the secrets of style, to the study of the masters of literature.

评分这种精悍的小册子 阅读的性价比极高 只不过不知道那本 International Edition的现在不知道躺在谁家
http://blog.caing.com/article.php?itemid=9537&preview=888 The Elements of Style,风格的要素,非常小的一本书,几十页,是最有影响力的英文写作指南。我读的是2000年第四版,边读边记,摘记如下: 对与错 段落,不是句子,是文章组合的单元。段落首句要么点...
评分我有时看字,有时写字。上过十数年语文课。像很多人一样,我在课堂外读书,在课堂内睡觉,在阅读中培养敏锐感觉,在睡梦中意淫前排美女。 我没有从读好书中学会写好书,却学会挑剔烂书。看烂书就像看H卡通里流着哈喇子的丑八怪猥亵美女,令我既恶心又愤怒。多余,滥用,浮...
评分看这本书是因为英语e书房管理员写了强烈推荐,加之张五常和董桥的两篇推荐文章,才知道这本小册子在英文写作界的知名度。 先是花了两天的时间听完这本书的音频。一开始很吃力,因为之前就没有好好学过语法,对于标点符号的单词完全不认识。都是一边听一篇用灵格斯...
评分这书开头非常简单,但翻到最后才发觉朴实无华的语法讲要背后的学问。 作为一名阅读爱好者,读到优秀的文字时,其实我不会特别有感觉。因为读的时候早就已经顺着作者的思想游走了,哪里顾得了去细细体味措词造句背后的艺术。可是,读到不好的文字时,却常常难受得抓耳挠腮。啰...
