“……Tufte的著作既非写作手册，亦非修辞史，也非对其他批评家句法理论的阐释，而是展现了作者自身对句子运作方式及其潜能的独到见解。Tufte对文学的了解极为广博，她的例证总是恰如其分又出人意料。而她对句法本身具有象征意义的认识，使本书成为所有写作者的必读之作。……”——Marjorie Perloff（摘自封底）

……似乎在反抗那种极简紧缩式的写作观。如果你感兴趣的话，这些书包括：- Brooks Landon 的《构建精彩句子》（Building Great Sentences）- Stanley Fish 的《如何写出好句子》（How to Write a Sentence）- Virginia Tufte 的《Artful Sentences, Syntax as Style》- Richard Lanham 的《分析散文》（Analyzing Prose）。我只想补充一句，写得简单明了没有任何毛病。删掉多余或软弱无力的副词也没什么不对。但有一种……
…seem to be fighting back against the austerity view of writing. They include, if you're interested: - Brooks Landon, Building Great Sentences - Stanley Fish, How to Write a Sentence - Virginia Tufte, Artful Sentences, Syntax as Style - Richard Lanham, Analyzing Prose I'd just add, there is nothing wrong with being simple and clear. There is nothing wrong with cutting out needless or weak adverbs. But there is something…
在工匠的工具箱里，我想添上 Virginia Tufte 那本令人手不释卷、启发灵感的书《Artful Sentences: Syntax as Style》。想要写得更好，就必须写出更好的句子。不妨从这本书开始。
In the craftsman's toolbox I would add Virginia Tufte's lovely and inspiring book "Artful Sentences: Syntax as Style". To write better, one must write better sentences. Start here.
……如果感兴趣的话，我推荐这本由著名的“Edward Tufte”（软件史上最有影响力的设计师之一）的母亲所撰写的关于造句的书：https://www.amazon.com/Artful-Sentences-Syntax-as-Style/dp/0... 我读过不少关于写作的书，发现写好文章的关键归根结底就是写好句子。这也是做到简洁至关重要的一部分，重要性仅次于删减……
…interests you I recommend this book on crafting sentences written by the mother of the famous "Edward Tufte" (one of the most influential designers in the history of software): https://www.amazon.com/Artful-Sentences-Syntax-as-Style/dp/0... I've read a number of writing books and I find the key to good writing comes down to writing good sentences. It's also a critical part of being succint, only second to trimming…
……只读过《Strunk and White》（风格的要素），或者把文本丢进 Grammarly 看到了几条波浪线。其实有些风格指南给出的建议既实用又切中要害。- 史蒂芬·平克的《风格感觉》（The Sense of Style）- Virginia Tufte 的《Artful Sentences: Syntax As Style》- Francis-Noel Thomas 和 Mark Turner 的《清晰与简明：经典散文写作》（Clear and Simple as the Truth）。如果大家真的想搞清楚语法到底是怎么一回事……
…Strunk and White, or they pasted the text into Grammarly and got some squiggly lines. There are some style books that offer advice that is both useful and true. - Sense of Style, by Steven Pinker - Artful Sentences: Syntax As Style, by Virginia Tufte - Clear and Simple as the Truth: Writing Classic Prose, by Francis-Noel Thomas and Mark Turner If people really want to know what's what where grammar is concerned,…
我也附议推荐《Style》。它讲的是如何写出优雅的句子，相比之下《Strunk and White》不过是一堆作者的个人偏见。我还推荐 Virginia Tufte（她正是 Edward Tufte 的母亲）写的《Artful Sentences: Syntax as Style》。
I will second the Style recommendation. It explains how to write elegant sentences, whereas Strunk and White is just a list of the writers' prejudices. I'd also recommend Artful Sentences: Syntax as Style by Virginia Tufte (who was Edward Tuft's mother).
写得挺好——恕我直言，比那本被奉为神作的《风格的要素》（The Elements of Style）好多了，后者规训味太重，而且说实话有些地方根本没卵用，哪怕它文笔确实不错。但我一直以来的最爱是 Virginia Tufte 的《Artful Sentences: Syntax as Style》。它用井井有条的方式和海量的实例展示了英语句式结构的多样性。这种方法不是教条式的规训，而是让你通过归纳去掌握……
It’s good—better than the much-revered Elements of Style, imho, which is overly prescriptive and frankly unhelpful at turns, even if it’s well written. But my all-time favorite is Virginia Tufte’s Artful Sentences: Syntax as Style. It illustrates the variety of English sentence structures in an ordered way with a plethora of examples. The approach is not prescriptive; rather, it allows you inductively to develop…
