很多事情并没有想像中的那么难，不去试试真不知道

[pluson]

这是个人经历的分享

昨天想能不能通过图书作者访谈来给自己的网站添加一些原创内容，然后写了封邮件，找书的作者去发。一个不太大的优势是，我们本来就收集了很多书（你可以在这里看到所有的书: https://toptalkedbooks.com/books ），然后通过这些书的作者做为线索去做这些事情，发邮件。今天成功拿到了第一个访谈。

访谈地址： https://toptalkedbooks.com/topics/19

作为一个机械专业英语四级没过的人，从写代码做论坛，到用英语跟别人沟通，真正的完成一件事情（当然离成功还很远）。

希望能提供点正能量，另外如果你有建议，或者外国书籍的可以做访谈的作者推荐的话，也是非常高兴的。

如果非要说点什么的话……你的问题配不上他的回答，他只是写了一篇自述而已

@jadec0der 没明白你什么意思？

5. What do you want talking to your readers?
I ’ m not 100% sure what this question means (sorry). But if you are asking what I would say to the people reading this, then it would be the following:

Whatever you do as a job, it ’ s a good idea to practice your writing skills. There ’ s an old saying that goes, “ You only get one chance to make a first impression.” You know what this means – if the first time you meet someone at work they are wearing a clown costume, it ’ s hard not to laugh (pun intended). If the first time you meet someone they look bedraggled and unwashed, that ’ s going to affect your perception of them. Similarly, if someone writes to tell me “ Your an idiot!” then this isn ’ t conveying the message they hoped it impart (it should be “ You ’ re an idiot ” or “ You are an idiot!”). The point is that if you send someone an email, or write them a note, and you make mistakes in your grammar or punctuation, then their opinion of you is going to be diminished.

你这六个问题可以拿来问任何的图书作者。

@qymobile 不愧是作家 说话很礼貌

[qymobile]

@lance6716276 而且委婉的给出了诚恳的建议。

都说你行你上，但有时候上了才发现真的不行。
做事不难，把事情做好不只需要意愿，还要有耐心与持续的努力。

[pluson]

@qymobile 谢谢，其实这对于我来说也是一个学习的过程，我修改完善我的问题

[pluson]

@YvesX 确实很多人是语言的巨人，行动的巨婴。有一个做事情的原则是，先别去要求别人怎么，自己先试试。

其实什么都不是问题，不懂也不学，也不去试才是最大的问题

[pluson]

@maichael 这个惊天的秘密都被你发现了，你太牛了！崇拜！

[karjarjam]

@pluson #8 应该是“ What would you say if you were talking with your readers?"/"What would you say to your readers?"。Talk to 是训话。

[pluson]

@karjarjam 我最近也有跟一些老外在 negotiate， 其实像这些 native 有时候英语也没有那么严谨，我觉得 talk to, talk with 都是行的，不过原来这个问题确实不太严谨，我已经听取那个作家的意见修改了。

我搜了一下 talk to 跟 talk with 的区别，可能更详细一些，直接贴这里了，你参考：

A lot of students ask me about the difference between talk to and talk with.

The answer is that there ’ s essentially NO difference when two people are having a conversation, and both of them are speaking. You can say “ Sue is talking to John ” or “ Sue is talking with John ” – they ’ re the same!

Some people claim that talk to should be used when it ’ s only one person speaking, and talk with should be used when it ’ s more of a two-sided discussion.

However, in practice, many native speakers use both interchangeably. Here are some examples.

Can I talk to you for a minute?
= Can I talk with you for a minute?

Brian ’ s over there, talking to Matt.
= Brian ’ s over there, talking with Matt.

I talked to my boss and she said I could take a day off.
= I talked with my boss and she said I could take a day off.

讲道理，我觉得你这些问题营养不大。

[defel]

很多看上去不难，但是试了之后绝望的事情也不在少数🤣

[20015jjw]

我觉得 lz 应该弄好语法能正常交流了再去 reach out
不然浪费人家时间自己可能还会被误解

[20015jjw]

不是说四级不过这辈子就别说英语了 但是我看 lz 你这个问题也实在没啥营养啊 同意 1 楼说的

[ermao]

第五个问题不是 talk 的问题

想要做某事是 want to do 啊。。。应该是 What do you want to talk to your readers?
(want doing (UK) = need doing = need to be done)

作家还在回复里吐槽了你，不该犯这种语法错。。

不过还是很佩服楼主勇于尝试的态度的。
