So let's say you've decided on some characters.
如果你確定好了角色。
This is anti-social skill number two: start pretending they're real.
就可以采用第二個(gè)反社會(huì)技巧：把他們當(dāng)成真人。
What are they like? Where are they from? What music do they listen to?
他們長什么樣？來自哪里？喜歡什么樣的音樂？
Spend some time with them.
在角色身上多花點(diǎn)心思。
If you're on a bus, think about what they might be doing if they were there too.
你乘車時(shí)可以想象，他們坐在車上時(shí)會(huì)做什么。
Would they talk on the phone, listen to music, draw pictures, sleep?
他們是在打電話？聽音樂？畫畫？還是打瞌睡？
What we say depends on who we are.
人的性格背景決定了他的語言。
An older person might speak differently than a younger person.
年長者和年輕者說的話是不同的。
Someone from the south might speak differently than someone from the north.
南方人和北方人說的話也不一樣。
Once you know your characters, you can figure out how they talk.
只要了解人物性格背景，就知道他們會(huì)說什么。
At this stage, it's helpful to use anti-social skill number three: muttering to yourself.
接著，到了使用第三個(gè)技巧的時(shí)候：自言自語。
When you speak your character's words, you can hear whether they sound natural, and fix them if necessary.
念出角色的臺(tái)詞之后，你就會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)不妥之處然后對(duì)臺(tái)詞進(jìn)行修改。
Remember, most people are usually pretty informal when they speak.
記住，大多數(shù)人講話都很隨意。
They use simple language and contractions.
用詞和縮略語都很簡(jiǎn)單。
So, "Do not attempt to lie to me" sounds more natural as "Don't try to lie to me."
因此，“別想騙我”比“不要想對(duì)我撒謊”聽上去自然。
Also keep it short. People tend to speak in short bursts, not lengthy speeches.
人物對(duì)話還應(yīng)該保持簡(jiǎn)短。人們講話時(shí)句子都短小精煉而非長篇大論。
And let the dialogue do the work. Ask yourself: do I really need that adverb?
記得多用對(duì)話的形式。此外，再反問自己：這句話真的需要副詞嗎？
For instance, "'Your money or your life,' she said threateningly."
舉個(gè)例子，“要錢還要命”，她威脅地說。
Here, "threateningly" is redundant, so you can get rid of it.
此處，“威脅地”就顯多余，可以省略。
But if the words and the actions don't match, an adverb can be helpful.
但如果語言和動(dòng)作不搭調(diào)，副詞有助于讀者的理解。
"'Your money or your life,' she said lovingly."
比如，“要錢還要命”，她深情地說。
So, to recap: First, eavesdrop. Next, pretend imaginary people are real.
我來總結(jié)一下：第一，偷聽；第二，把角色當(dāng)成真人。
Finally, mutter to yourself, and write it all down.
第三，自言自語，并把臺(tái)詞寫下來。
You already have everything you need.
現(xiàn)在，你已經(jīng)掌握了必備的技巧。
This is fictional dialogue, or "How to Hear Voices in Your Head."
這是虛構(gòu)的對(duì)話，也叫做“如何聽到腦內(nèi)的聲音”。
