BEIJING — Within 24 hours of China's deadly quake, some 20,000 troops
converged on the disaster area to help dig out the dead and injured, and
military planes and trucks ferried in another 30,000 reinforcements.

how WeWork's EBITDA is "whatever you want it to be" thanks to the company's
bizarre pro forma addbacks, which transformed a $933MM net loss and a $193
million adjusted EBITDA loss, into a "positive" $233 million "community-

发帖数: 2992 | 10 之前写过《说笑话技巧总结》一文，比较简略，现在想就个别问题深入一下。很多人认
为幽默文学靠的都是灵感，不能按照什么原则来写。我的体会是，有灵感的时候固然下
笔如有神，但在没有的时候也要能做踏实的创作才行，否则难免会手里一堆未完作品。
而且很多写作通用的规则也适用于写笑话。
1. Show, not tell.
这在小说创作中算是golden principle. 比方说，你一打开门，今天的雨好大呀！这属
于Tell。如果你写的是，“门虽然开了，外面的世界被屋檐垂下的雨帘隔着，看不清楚
。”这叫Show。就是把事实描述出来，到底雨大不大让读者自己去体会，去判断。秉着
这个原理，无论是在幽默文学的题目，还是叙事中，都要尽量避免“真是搞笑啊”这种
Tell。这么说吧，如果对自己的内容自信的话，那就大方直接的摆出来，大家自然会笑
。如果不确定大家会不会觉得好笑的话，那即使你承诺你要讲的很好笑，又能有何帮助
呢？就是这个道理。
2. Stop at the right place.
