为撇号感到焦虑？被逗号弄得晕头转向？被分号彻底难倒？快来跟随 Lynne Truss 开启一场关于标点规则的欢闹之旅，它定能帮你彻底分清破折号与连字符。我们上学时都被灌输过基础标点规则，但标点纠察员们完全有理由怀疑大家从未真正吸收。“Its Summer!”一块令人咬牙切齿的标牌在大喊。“Pansy’s ready”，我们在花坛苗圃间漫步时兴致盎然地读到（“她是吗？”）。受到冲击的不仅是标点符号的规则，还有关于……

我不确定这算不算“政治正确”，但《吃发芽的土豆？：标点符号的零容忍法则》（Eats, Shoots & Leaves）[1]是相关话题里一本读起来很有趣的书。它同样被某些人喷过，但我读得很开心，也学到了一两点干货。 [1] https://www.amazon.com/Eats-Shoots-Leaves-Tolerance-Punctuat...
I'm not sure if this is "correct" but "Eats, shoots & leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation"[1] is a fun read on an adjacent topic. It too gets berated by some but I enjoyed it and learned a thing or two. [1] https://www.amazon.com/Eats-Shoots-Leaves-Tolerance-Punctuat...
有本书叫《吃发芽的土豆？》（Eats Shoots and Leaves），讲的就是懂得何时用（以及何时不用）标点符号的重要性：https://www.amazon.com/Eats-Shoots-Leaves-Tolerance-Punctuat...? 我也很喜欢看整个句子的意思如何因为……
There is a book "Eats Shoots and Leaves" that gets at the importance of knowing when (and when not) do deploy the punctuation: https://www.amazon.com/Eats-Shoots-Leaves-Tolerance-Punctuat...? I also enjoy how meaning of a whole sentence can…
斯蒂芬·金大概说过这样的话：“要成为更好的写作者，就多写多读”。这里有两篇更深入讨论这个想法的文章： http://www.beliefnet.com/columnists/dreamgates/2011/06/read-... http://writetodone.com/how-to-use-reading-to-become-a-better... 除此之外，面向写作者的书当然是一抓一大把，包括一些专门写给技术写作人员的。其中很多
Stephen King said something like "To become a better writer, write a lot and read a lot". Here's a couple of articles that discuss that idea more: http://www.beliefnet.com/columnists/dreamgates/2011/06/read-... http://writetodone.com/how-to-use-reading-to-become-a-better... Beyond that, there are, of course, tons of books for writers, including some specifically for tech writers. A lot of wha

哇。充分展现了弗莱惊人的语言天赋。（弗莱吐槽林恩·特拉斯那段把我逗乐了，不过她的《吃发芽的土豆？》我也一样读得挺开心的。）
Wow. A showcase of Fry's incredible gift with language. (I was rather amused by Fry's knock at Lynne Truss, whose book, Eats, Shoots, and Leaves I similarly enjoyed.)
《吃发芽的土豆？》（Eats, Shoots, and Leaves）。它更偏幽默而非说教，偏标点而非语法，但内容生动风趣又带点冷嘲热讽，读起来非常有意思。https://www.amazon.com/Eats-Shoots-Leaves-Tolerance-Punctuat...
