C·S·刘易斯的《返璞归真》（Mere Christianity）。他的任何非虚构作品都有着一种我很少见到的写作风格。他崇尚理性，行文层层递进。威廉·斯特伦克和 E·B·怀特的《风格的要素》（The Elements of Style）。我自打学会写字起就喜欢写作。直到17岁我才发现这本书，它帮我打开了新世界，让我能以一种更能帮到别人的方式去写作。《语言本能》，……
Mere Christianity, by C. S. Lewis. Any of his nonfiction works have a style of writing that I seldom find. He has a dedication to reason and a step-by-step approach. The Elements of Style, by William Strunk and E. B. White. I liked writing since I learned how to. I didn't find this book until I was 17, and it unlocked me to write in a way that better helped others. The Language Instinct,…
斯特伦克和怀特写的《风格的要素》（The Elements of Style）。共 92 页。比如第 19 页：“使用肯定句陈述。”如果布尔值采用肯定形式，代码质量就会提升，比如把 if (!featureIsDisabled()) ... 替换成：……
"The Elements of Style", by Strunk & White. 92 pages. For example, page 19: "Put statements in positive form." Code is improved if booleans are put in positive form, such as replace: if (!featureIsDisabled()) ... with:…
……主题太大，不是一本百来页的书能涵盖的，但尽管我大半辈子都在写作（而且还出版过一本书），我却从来没能啃完一本厚厚的语法书。我可以在一个下午读完《风格的要素》，而且一点也不觉得枯燥折磨。正如某些书评指出的那样，如果它本身就写错了，那连花这点功夫都不值得。但是，我从不觉得它大部分都是错的，或者大部分……
…subjects are bigger than a ~100 page book can cover, but despite having spent a lot of my life writing (and having published a book), I've never been able to plod through a big grammar book. I can read Elements of Style in an afternoon without feeling like it's a chore. As noted in some of the reviews, if it's wrong it's not worth even that much effort. But, I never thought it was predominantly wrong or predominantly…
我从《风格的要素》和一学期的大学课程中学到的技术写作知识，比我在公立学校念了 13 年学到的还要多。而我学到更多创意写作技巧，则是因为在 MUD 游戏里当 immortal，以及给地下报纸撰稿……
I learned more about technical writing from The Elements of Style and a one-semester university course that I ever did from 13 years of public schooling. I learned more about creative writing from being an immortal on a MUD and contributing to the underground newspaper…
过去几年里，我手头一直留着并且送出去了好几本斯特伦克和怀特的《风格的要素》（市面上版本很多，如果我没记错的话第 4 版应该是最新的）。这书只要 9 刀左右，但里面的指导简直无价。https://www.amazon.com/Elements-Style-Fourth-William-Strunk/...
I have kept around and distributed multiple copies of The Elements of Style, by Strunk and White, for the past few years (lots of revisions of this out there, 4th might be most recent iirc). It's like a 9$ book and the guidance is priceless. https://www.amazon.com/Elements-Style-Fourth-William-Strunk/...
我参加过亚马逊内部的那个培训课。说实话，只要认真读一读并践行斯特伦克和怀特的《风格的要素》[1]以及津瑟的《写作法宝》（On Writing Well）[2]里的建议，那门课就没什么你学不到的了。其核心理念是：如果你写不好，说明你根本没想明白。写作的过程就是推理的过程。0. ……
I've taken the class within Amazon. Honestly there isn't anything that you couldn't get by simply reading and applying the advice from "The Elements of Style" by Strunk and White[1] and "On Writing Well" by Zinsser [2]. The primary philosophy is that if you can't write well, then you haven't thought it through. The act of writing is an act of reasoning. 0.…
