A friend of mine was fond of drawing horse. He drew the horses very well,but he always began the tail. Now it is the Western rule to begin at the head of the horse, that is why I was surprised. It struck me that it could not really make any difference whether the artist begins at the head or the tail or the belly（肚子） or the foot of the horse, if he really knows his business. And most great artists who really know their business do not follow other people’s rule.They make their own rules. Every one of them does his work in a way peculiar(奇特的) to himself; and the peculiarity means only that he finds it more easy
to work in that way.
Now the very same thing is true to literature(文学). And the question, "How shall I begin?" only means that you want to begin at the head instead of beginning at the tail or somewhere else. That is, you are not yet experienced(有经验的) enough to trust to your own powers. When you become more experienced you will
never ask the question, and I think that you will often begin at the tail --that is to say, you will write the end of the story before you have even thought of the beginning.

我的一个朋友喜欢画马,他画马画的很好,但是他总是从马尾开始画.但是西方人的习惯是从马头开始画,这就是我惊奇的地方.这件事影响了我 ,无论艺术节从马头还是马肚子还是马蹄开始都没有任何区别,只要他知道自己在做什么.许多著名的艺术家都不会跟着别人的规定做,他们有自己的规则,他们每个人都是用奇特的方式做自己的工作,并且只有他们自己的发现的这个奇特方法更有效.
在文学中也是一样.“我应该怎样开始?”这个问题只是意味着你想从头部开始而不是尾部开始或其他地方,也就是说,你还不够经验去相信自己的能力.当你更有经验的时候你不会问任何问题,而且你认为你将从尾巴开始——也就是说,你会在你思考故事的开始前写故事的结局.
