促使我写这个题目的理由,是因为前几天和一作家朋友在一家酒店吃饭。一位年轻的服务小姐听说他是位作家,当场就要拜师学艺。我现身说法,同她聊了不到10分钟,居然让她改了主意。当一个当代作家又谈何容易呢?他首先要大量阅读。仅此一条就要把大多数人筛出圈外。简单地说,我们和前两代人小时候受的教育不够好,今生都用来读书恐怕时间都未必能够.更何况写作了。一想到郁达夫在日本4年里就读了1000种日文书,我就真想活在30年代,给那些年纪轻轻就学 The reason that prompted me to write this topic was because I had dinner with a writer friend in a hotel the other day. A young waitress heard that he was a writer and he would appraise the arts on the spot. I came out and talked to her for less than 10 minutes and actually let her change her mind. When a contemporary writer can talk about it easier, he must first read a lot. Only this one will sieve most people out of the circle. To put it simply, we and the first two generations were not well educated when we were young. We may not be able to read the time in this life. I would rather write. When I thought that Yu Dafu had studied 1000 Japanese books in Japan in the past 4 years, I really wanted to live in the 30s and give those young people schooling.
