The Art of Readable Writing

The Art of Readable Writing

In one way or another, your language differs from that of anybody else. It's part of your own unique personality. It has traces of the family you grew up in, the place where you came from, the people you have associated with, the jobs you have had, the school you went to, the books you have read, your hobbies, your sports, your philosophy, your religion, your politics, your prejudices, your memories, your ambitions, your dreams and your love life. The way you form your sentences shows your outlook on life; the words you choose show your temperament and your aspiration.

買った記憶がないので、引用文のメモでしょうか。

干武陵「歓酒」

勧君金屈巵 満酌不須辞
花発多風雨 人生足別離

これも引用文のメモですね。井伏鱒二さんの訳で有名。私が訳すなら、

 まあ飲め 俺の酒を
 桜も雨で散るものさ
 出会って別れて
 これでいいのだ

最後、赤塚不二夫さんが入ってしまいました。
