<don't do it>日常劝退,by 布考斯基。来源:知乎,用户:红与黑。 If it doesn't come bursting out of you in spite of everything, don't do it. 如果它不是从你内心迸发出来的,不要写。 Unless it comes unasked out of your heart and your mind and your mouth and your gut, don't do it. 若它不是从你的心、你的思想、你的嘴和你的直觉中释放出来的,不要写。 If you have to sit up for hours staring at your computer screen, or hunched over your typewritersearching for words, don't do it. 如果你需要为它盯着电脑屏幕好几个小时,或蜷缩在打字机前为词句苦苦思索,不要写。 If it is hard work, just thinking about doing it, don't do it. 如果你只是想想都觉得这事很难,那就不要写。 Unless it comes out of your soul like a rocket; unless being still would drive you to madness or suicideor murder, don't do it. 除非,它像火箭般从你的灵魂中升起;除非不去写会让你疯狂或想死,否则不要写。 When it is truly time if you have been chosen, it will do it by itself and then it will keep on doing it until you die, or or it dies in you. 当时机真的到来,而你又是天选之人,它会自然完成,且会持续去写,写到你死为止,或写到你将其终结。 There is no other way, and there never was. 除此之外,别无他法。
