你能猜到开头，却猜不到结尾...

 　　世界上有那么多事，我们都只是猜中了开头，却没有猜中结尾。那么，如果有一个人给了你一支看不到的笔芯的笔，你会怎么办？看看普特英语的这篇文章，相信你会从中受益。

　　Suppose someone gave you a pen — a sealed, solid-colored pen.You couldn’t see how much ink it had.

　　Would you plan and plan before you ever wrote a word?

　　你会左计划、右计划，然后才慢慢下笔吗？

　　Would your plans be so extensive that you never even got to the writing?

　　计划会不会太泛太多，根本就达不到写作这一步？

　　Or would you take the pen in hand, plunge¹ right in and just do it, struggling to keep up with the twists and turns of the torrents² of words that take you where they take you?

　　会不会提笔在手，迫不及待地投入其中，任由手中的笔、笔下的字带着你在词海中上下翻腾、左突右冲？

　　你会写些什么？爱情？仇恨？乐趣？痛苦？生命？死亡？虚无空空抑或世事万种？

　　Would you write to please just yourself? Or others?

　　你会写在线里还是写在线上，或者对纸上的线格根本就视而不见？真的有什么线格吗？此时此刻，有很多东西值得思考，不是吗？

　　Now, suppose someone gave you a life...

　　那么，假设有人给了你一次生命…

　　人生只有一次，你要对自己的人生负责。
