话说得短说得简要,不是一件易事。我回想自己说过的许多话,重看写过的什么文章,先叫我难过的就是既不简又不要,想起“由俭入奢易,由奢入俭难”这老格言果然不错。一九四二年二月八日延安反对党八股的大会,原先就叫压缩大会。四年半了,压缩尚未成功。那次引的鲁迅的话,“写完后至少看两遍,竭力将可有可无的字、句、段删去,毫不可惜”,依然是我们的警钟。 To put it simply, it is not an easy task. I recall many words I have said, review what articles have been written, first called me sad is neither simple nor not, think of “old age by frugal, by extravagant frugal,” the old adage really good. The assembly of the eight-legged opposition party in Yenan on February 8, 1942 was originally called the compression meeting. Four and a half years, the compression has not been successful. Lu Xun’s quotation that quoted him as “at least twice after he wrote it, and endeavored to delete the dispensable words, sentences and paragraphs” is still our alarm.
