And if I had not a letter to write myself, I might sit by you and admire the evenness of your writing, as another young lady once did.

要不是我自己有封信要写，我一定会象另外一位年轻的小姐一样，坐在你身旁欣赏你那工整的书法。

With my writing, for example, I always have to take a deep breath before reading an edit letter or meeting with an editor, to remind myself, "I welcome criticism."

例如，在我写作时，我总要在阅读编辑的信或和编辑见面前深吸一口气，来提醒自己：“我欢迎批评。”

One of my favorite writers, Flannery o 'connor, wrote in a letter to a friend: "from 15 to 18 is an age at which one is very sensitive to the SINS of others, as I know from recollections of myself."

我喜欢的作家之一，弗兰纳里·奥康纳在一封给朋友的信中写道：“15岁到18岁的年纪正是一个对他人错误敏感的年纪，这点是我从我自己的回忆里知晓的。”
