一位先驱女性飞行员在非洲的生涯。摘自写给 Maxwell Perkins 的信：“你读过 Beryl Markham 的书《West with the Night》吗？我在非洲与她相当熟络，绝想不到她会动笔写作，更想不到她除了写飞行日志外还能写出书来。然而事实是，她写得如此之好，好得不可思议，以至于作为作家的我都深感自愧不如。我觉得自己不过是一个文字木匠，把工地上现成的东西拿来钉在一起，偶尔搭出一个勉强能看的猪圈。但她笔下的造诣足以让我们所有自诩为……的人甘拜下风。”

你可能也会喜欢海明威的大量作品、圣埃克苏佩里的《风沙星辰》（Wind, Sand, and Stars）、卡伦·布里克森的《走出非洲》（Out of Africa）以及柏瑞尔·马卡姆的《夜航西飞》（West With the Night）——全都是回忆录（除了海明威的非回忆录作品），在文风和美感上都极其相似。如果大家还有类似的推荐，文笔极佳的回忆录或小说家都可以……
You may also enjoy a lot of Hemingway's stuff, Wind, Sand, and Stars by de Saint-Exupéry, Out of Africa by Karen Blixen and West With the Night by Berly Markham -- all memoirs (except for Hemingway's non-memoirs) very similar in style and beauty.

……一本相关的书我推荐《写作法宝》（On Writing Well）。我还建议去读读那些文字清晰简练的作者，比如海明威（《流动的盛宴》）、安托万·德·圣埃克苏佩里（《风沙星辰》）和柏瑞尔·马卡姆（《夜航西飞》）。但根本上还是：持之以恒的练习、重读和修改。
…related book I'd recommend is On Writing Well. I'd also suggest reading clear and simple authors like Hemingway (A Movable Feast), Antoine de Saint-Exupéry (Wind, Sand and Stars), and Beryl Markham (West with the Night). But fundamentally: consistent practice, rereading, and editing.
……对我的写作影响最大的书是津瑟的《写作法宝》、海明威的所有作品（比如《太阳照常升起》、《流动的盛宴》）、安托万·德·圣埃克苏佩里的《风沙星辰》，以及柏瑞尔·马卡姆的《夜航西飞》。它们的共同特点就是文字简明、口语化但规范地道。
…made the biggest impact on my writing are Zinsser's On Writing Well, everything Hemingway (e.g. The Sun Also Rises, A Moveable Feast), Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's Wind, Sand and Stars, and Beryl Markham's West with the Night. The common theme being simplicity and informal, but correct, speech.
