跟着名师学写作（含逐句点评解析）虽然我有太多的话题想说，但是每周能抽时间写成的只有两三篇。本期的话题是基于一直以来有人问我如何学习，却迟迟不肯付出行动。我想说的是，方法其实不重要，重要的是行动。知识的积累无非就是多读，多练，无它。所谓大道至简。昨天的时间稍微充足一点，所以，这篇我加上了批注。自己给自己写的文章加评注和分析也不是多见的吧，似乎有点高调了。不管怎么说，但愿对您有点用。Action and Meaning How do I make my study plan? What is the point of my decision if the result seems carved in stone?...评析：开头用疑问句用来设置悬念，也是点名主旨。这也是议论文的一种行文常规手段。What’s the point of doing…，用来询问做某事的意义何在。Be carved in stone，英文 解 释 ： If a suggestion, plan, rule, etc. is carved in stone, it cannot be changed。一般否定句更常用，用来表明并非一成不变。 I was asked these questions recently by one of my students.

It’s a continuum, a lif...
