• “写文章要讲逻辑。就是要注意整篇文章、整篇 讲话的结构，开头、中间、尾巴要有一种关系， 要有一种内部的联系，不要互相冲突。还要讲文 法。许多同志省掉了不应该省掉的主词、宾词， 或者把副词当动词用，甚至于省掉动词。这些都 是不合文法的。还要注意修辞，怎样写得生动一 点。总之，一个合逻辑，一个合文法，一个较好 的修辞，这三点请你们在写文章的时候注意。” • ——毛泽东 • 语法研究语言的结构和规律，管“通不通”。 • 逻辑研究思维的形式和规律，管“对不对”。 • 修辞研究语言运用的艺术及其规律，管“美不 8

• Recite Material In writing articles, one must pay attention to logic. That is to say, one must pay attention to the structure of an article or speech as a whole, and there must be some sort of relation between the beginning, the middle and the end, a sort of inner relationship, and the three must not be at variance with one another. One must also observe the rules of grammar. Many comrades tend to omitted the subject or the object of a sentence when it should not be omitted or use adverbs as verbs or even leave out verbs. All this is ungrammatical. Attention must also be paid to rhetoric, to how to write more vividly. In short, to be logical, to be grammatical and to have a better command of rhetoric—these are the three points I would like you to bear in mind when you write. 7 ——Mao Zedong
