儿童科普读物写作之我见

My Opinion on Children's Science Popularization Writing

本文作者对儿童科普读物写作提出一些看法。作者认为,信达趣可做写作准则。应选择作者熟稔,儿童经验所及,可深入浅出的命题。体式以散文为主;如采用小说,如何在知识束缚下,使情节起伏有趣,是极其艰难的挑战。作者不认为科学诗、科幻小说可作为科普的载体。在图片为上的潮流下,文字的地位降低,作者应谋求因应之道。

In line with the experience,the author of this paper proposes his views on children's sciencepopularization writing. The author believes that correctness,expressiveness and interest can be used as a guideline for writing. The subjects should be about those things which the author himself is familiar with,and which shall be in keeping with the experience of the children, and which can be explained in simple terms. The article should be written in the form of prose rather than in novel. The author does not embrace the view that science poem or science fiction can be used as a carrier of science. In the trend of putting the pictures above writing,the author should seek a feasible way to handle it.
