Many people admire the wonderful novels of the writers, but few know how they worked hard to make a novel come out. The following passage will discuss the brewing process of the novel and how the author carves the novel into a delicate and perfect work of art.
许多人羡慕作家们的精彩小说，但却很少有人知道作家们是如何辛勤笔耕才使一篇小说问世的。以下的短文将讨论小说的酝酿过程，以及作家是如何将这小说雕琢成一件精致完美的艺术品。
Once, in the evening, I came to a small peach tree in full bloom beside the small tree forest. I stood and stared for a long time until the last light was gone. I can't see the tree's original shape, the power of breaking your teeth through its core, or the principle that distinguishes it from oak and grass. What appears in front of me is a deep and mysterious charm.
有一次，我在暮色中来到小树林边一个鲜花盛开的小桃树前。我久久站在那里凝视着，直到最后一道光线消逝。我看不到那树原先的模样，看不见曾穿透果核，能崩碎你的牙齿的力量，也看不到那使它与橡树和绿草相区别的原则。显现在我面前的，是一种深邃而神秘的魅力。
When the reader reads an outstanding novel, he will be so infatuated that he wants to engrave the words and sentences of the novel without asking any questions. But even a novice writer knows that, in addition to the words that bring the novel to the world, there are more factors that make up the life of the novel. The life of the novel does not start from writing, but from the deep idea.
当读者读到一部杰出的小说时，他也会这样如痴如狂，欲将小说字字句句刻骨铭心，不提出任何问题。但即使是个初学写作者也知道，除那将小说带到世上的文字之外，还有更多的构成小说生命的因素，小说的生命并不始于写作，而始于内心深处的构思。
To create an original work, you do not need to know the function of creation. For centuries, art, philosophy and scientific creation have come from people's minds, and the creators may never have thought of paying attention to the internal process of creation. However, in my opinion, a certain understanding of creative work will at least increase our wisdom in dealing with emerging stories by knowing two facts.
要创作出有独创性的作品，并不要求懂得创造的功能。多少世纪以来的艺术、哲学及科学创造都出自人们的头脑，而创造者也许从未想到去关注创造的内在过程。然而，在我看来，对创造工作一定程度的了解，至少会使我们通过知道两个事实，增长我们处理正在出现的故事的智慧。

这部分内容主要考察的是时间状语从句的知识点：
用表示时间的连词连接一个句子作状语，这样的主从复合句就是时间状语从句。连接时间状语从句的连接词有：when, before, after, while, as soon as, until, since...... 这里要注意一点的是，如果主句是一般将来时，从句只能用一般现在时表示将来意义。
由before和after引导的时间状语从句，注意before引导的从句不再用否定式的谓语，并且当before引导的从句位于主句之后，有时译成“就，才”。还要注意主句和从句之间的时间关系。当主句用将来时，从句总是用现在时。
如果before引导的主句谓语用的是过去完成时，则从句动词多用一般过去时，这样以便体现动作发生的先后。After表示主句动作发生在从句动作之后。主句和 从句的动作的时间关系正好与before引导的从句相反。
