英语阅读达人快来
Many a young person tells me he wants to be a writer.I always encourage such people,but I also explain that there’s a big difference between “being a writer” and writing.In most cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame,not the long hours alone at the typewriter.“You’ve got to want to write,” I say to them,“not want to be a writer.”
The reality is that writing is a lonely,private and poor-paying affair.For every writer kissed by fortune,there are thousands more whose dreams are never fulfilled.Even those who succeed often know long periods of neglect and poverty.I did.
.
Question:According to the author,“there’s a big difference between ‘being a writer’ and writing” (Para.1) and the latter means ______.
A.having a dream you cherish
B.spending hours at the typewriter writing
C.expecting the fame and wealth of a writer
D.mistaking “ writing” for wealth and fame
请问这道题怎么选,该怎么去理解,我看了答案还是理解不了,求人指点、、
选B
文中讲的很清楚,In most cases these individuals are dreaming of wealth and fame,not the long hours alone at the typewriter.
大部分情况下人们认为不是在打字机前花很长时间
而作者的观点是相反.
所以writing作者指的就是spending hours at the typewriter writing

再问: 您好,答案确实选B,可是文中说的是there’s a big difference between “being a writer” and writing 在作者的观点里,“being a writer”是在打字机前花很长时间,而仅仅去writing却不需要这样,这两者有本质差别,而题目问的是writing含义,所以我觉得writing应该是这像那些大部分人那样认为的去出名和财富,也就是fame and wealth,请问我这样理解错在哪儿了?
再答: 你理解反了。仔细阅读我上面的解析。再不然你就放下来,休息一下,过段时间读一遍。
再问: 那么既然“writing”指的是 spending hours at the typewriter writing 那么这样说的话,按照作者的理解,“being a writer”又指什么呢? 难道是dreaming of wealth and fame? 还是说,“being a writer”和“writing”是一个意思,可是文中明明说他们之间有a big difference呀?
再答: 呵呵,“You’ve got to want to write,” I say to them, “not want to be a writer.” 根据你提供的原文 作者是建议大家别总是梦想着成为作家,而应该明白作家是以写作为基础的,而写作是个辛苦、孤独的漫长过程。 作者说两者有大不同,是说,当人们体到作家时,看到的只是作家的鲜花和掌声。但是真正的写作确实充满艰辛的孤独而辛勤的耕耘。
再问: 哦,我似乎是有一点懂了 您看是不是这样理 文中所说的"being a writer"指的是在人们眼中的作家们得到的鲜花与掌声,而“writing”才是一个作家的本质,也就是多年以来坚持不懈的耕耘,也就是B项中说的“ spending hours at the typewriter writing”,和人们的一般理解不一样,所以说他们有a big difference.
再答: 呵呵,是的。
