26、ut an envelop on his desk. It contained 50 pounds.本句精华体会:“未见其人,先闻其声”这样表达有什么好处?声音往往能造成悬念(the creation of suspense),前半句的画面是办公室里里酒店经理抱怨的画面,我们可能想象他一脸无奈的表情。而突然出现的 a knock at the door, 顿时让我们脑海中的“场景画面”切换到了门口。听众/读者会在心中问:What happened? Who was knocking at the door?在女孩进来之后,又有一个悬念:她把一个信封放在桌子上。 听众/读者会在心中问:What
27、was in the envelop?最后作者才公布答案: It contained 50 pounds.在讲故事的时候,如果有 suspense 就能抓住读者的注意力,使得故事变得有趣。When you are telling a story, creating suspense can catch your readers attention and make your story more attractive and interesting.所以制造悬念对于讲好故事特别重要,无论是在小说,电影还是我们的日常沟通中。So the creation of suspense is impor
