This book is intended for use in English courses in which the practice of composition is combined with the study of literature. It aims to give in brief space the principal requirements of plain English style. It aims to lighten the task of instructor and student by concentrating attention (in Chapters II and III) on a few essentials, the rules of usage and principles of composition most commonly violated. The numbers of the sections may be used as references in correcting manuscript.
The book covers only a small portion of the field of English style, but the experience of its writer has been that once past the essentials, students profit most by individual instruction based on the problems of their own work, and that each instructor has his own body of theory, which he prefers to that offered by any textbook.
The writer's colleagues in the Department of English in Cornell University have greatly helped him in the preparation of his manuscript. Mr. George McLane Wood has kindly consented to the inclusion under Rule 11 of some material from his Suggestions to Authors.
The following books are recommended for reference or further study: in connection with Chapters II and IV, F. Howard Collins, Author and Printer (Henry Frowde); Chicago University Press, Manual of Style; T. L. De Vinne Correct Composition (The Century Company); Horace Hart, Rules for Compositors and Printers (Oxford University Press); George McLane Wood, Extracts from the Style-Book of the Government Printing Office (United States Geological Survey); in connection with Chapters III and V, Sir Arthur Quiller-Couch, The Art of Writing (Putnams), especially the chapter, Interlude on Jargon; George McLane Wood, Suggestions to Authors (United States Geological Survey); John Leslie Hall, English Usage (Scott, Foresman and Co.); James P. Kelly, Workmanship in Words (Little, Brown and Co.).
It is an old observation that the best writers sometimes disregard the rules of rhetoric. When they do so, however, the reader will usually find in the sentence some compensating merit, attained at the cost of the violation. Unless he is certain of doing as well, he will probably do best to follow the rules. After he has learned, by their guidance, to write plain English adequate for everyday uses, let him look, for the secrets of style, to the study of the masters of literature.
最近接受一个网站的采访。其中一个问题是,给你最大影响的书是什么? 我给出的答案是 strunk & white 「the elements of style」。 我是在高中的时候读到这本书的。多年后才知道这是一本经典之作。但当时只是在高中那个收藏并不丰富的图书馆里,想找本英文写作的书。我当时正...

评分知道这本书,准确地说是一本只有43页的小册子,是从徐宥博客上一篇介绍计算机科学经典书籍的文章。 徐宥说:“各位读者老大中有不少都是大学生,相信不少都参加过形形色色的英语写作培训班。如果当年您参加培训班的时候,老师没有介绍一本叫做 <The Elements of Style> (TEoS)...
评分书是着名的经典,看到时还直接买了两本,想说可以送朋友。回来后一翻,极为失望,把我在豆瓣第一个一颗星评价给了它。 我买到的是据称修订过的二版。打开来第一印象首先就是排版极为差劲,深深浅浅的绿色极干扰阅读,用了一堆大小不同的字体,但文章结构的视觉层次感却极为紊论...
评分W. Strunk Jr.的原著版本和E.B. White修订增补的版本有较大不同。 除了在前几章中的规则有增删外,White还单独增加了一章新的内容“An Approach to Style”,主要讲解了一些写作的宏观原则。这些原则和前几章所讲的规则相比,更抽象更一般化,有些原则不仅限于英文写作,也可...
