有人读过马丁·艾米斯的《对抗陈词滥调》（The War Against Cliche）吗？读过好几年了，但那本书极棒，而且在我看来，书名完美概括了文学评论家在最佳状态下的职责。
Has anybody read Martin Amis’s: The War Against Cliche? It’s been several years but the book is great and the title summarizes the work of a literary critic, at their best, in my opinion.
我对写作以及“什么是好写作”研究得越深，就觉得越难。读马丁·艾米斯的《对抗陈词滥调》对我来说是一个特别有杀伤力的时刻。莱考夫和约翰逊的《我们赖以生存的隐喻》（Metaphors We Live By）也是如此。我觉得问题在于：修辞格到底是有助于读者或作者看到事物……
The deeper I get into writing, and what it means to write well, the harder it is. Reading Martin Amis's The War Against Cliche was a particularly pernicious moment for me. So was Lakoff and Johnson's Metaphors We Live By. I think the question is this: does a rhetorical figure of speech help the reader or writer see the things…
我很喜欢奥威尔那本文集。
马丁·艾米斯有一整本随笔和书评集就叫《对抗陈词滥调》（The War Against Cliché）[1]（即你上面提到的第1条），因为他也把抵制盲从陈词滥调这种轻而易举的惰性放在首位。我注意到，小报比传统大报更依赖这种语言风格——在我看来，正是这种（刻意为之的）文学懒惰和故作亲民……
I love that Orwell collection.
An entire collection of Martin Amis essays and book reviews is called 'The War Against Cliché'[1] (your #1 above) because he too prioritizes resisting the all-too-easy tendency to rely on tired worn-out phrases. I have noticed that tabloid papers lean on this style of language more than traditional broadsheets - for me it is this (deliberate) literary lazy folksines
Thank you for connecting 2 sayings of Murakami Haruki :)
1.痛みは避けがたいが、苦しみはオプショナル

Now, I don’t know how representative this book is of Murakami’s novelistic style, but I wonder: Is this low-maintenance, attention-deficit prose part of Murakami’s attraction, especially among the young? Do people enjoy reading him for the same reason they persist in listening to music as

谢谢你把村上春树的两句话串在一起了 :) 1. 痛みを避けがたいが、苦しみはオプショナル（痛是难免的，苦是自找的） (https://archive.ph/Ca9rE) 说实话，我不知道这本书多大程度上能代表村上的小说风格，但我在想：这种不费脑子、适合注意力缺失的散文风格，是否正是村上吸引人（尤其是年轻人）的一部分原因？大家喜欢读他，是不是就像大家非要听音乐当
