💬 场景对话
Teacher
Good writing is about showing, not telling. Instead of 'She was sad,' try 'Her eyes glistened as she turned away.'
好的写作是展示,不是讲述。不要写'她很伤心',试试'她转过身时,眼中闪着泪光'。
You
That's a huge difference. The second version makes me feel it.
差别太大了。第二个版本让我能感受到。
Teacher
Exactly. Use sensory details — what the character sees, hears, smells, touches, tastes. And strong verbs instead of adverbs.
没错。用感官细节——角色看到、听到、闻到、触摸到、尝到什么。还有用强动词代替副词。
You
Instead of 'He walked slowly'?
比如不要写'他慢慢地走'?
Teacher
Try 'He shuffled' or 'He trudged.' One strong verb does the work of verb + adverb.
试试'He shuffled'或'He trudged'。一个强动词等于动词+副词。
You
What about dialogue?
对话呢?
Teacher
Read it aloud. If it sounds like something nobody would actually say, rewrite it. And use dialogue to reveal character, not just convey information.
大声念出来。如果听起来不像真人会说的话,就重写。用对话来揭示角色,而不只是传递信息。
