How to Improve Your Handwriting: 5 Easy Tips and Tricks
如何改善书写的5个小建议
As we type more and write less, handwriting has become a lost art.
如今的我们打字越来越多，书写越来越少，书法已经成为了一种遗失的技艺。
If your New Year's resolution is to improve your handwriting, we've got handy tips to get your writing back on track.
假如你的新年愿望是提高书写水平，这里的实用小技巧，可以让你的书写重现光彩。
Quick Tips.
小贴士。
A few tweaks to your natural style can make it easier to read your handwriting.
对书写风格做一些调整可以让书写更容易辨认。
Here are five tips you can try.
以下五个建议不妨一试。
1. Make your letters clear.
1. 字迹清晰。
We recognize letters by looking at their tops.
我们根据字母的上半部分辨认字母的。
When letters have loops on their ascenders, or don't have fully closed tops, they can be unclear.
如果字母上半部分有环形连笔，或者字母的圈没有闭合，那就不太容易辨认。
An "l" with a large loop might look like an "e".
如果字母“l”的环形连笔过大，看上去就会像字母“e”。
An "a" or "o" that isn't closed could look like a "u".
如果字母“a”或者“o”没有闭合就会像“u”。
Remove or minimize loops from ascenders and close the tops of your letters to make them more legible.
尽可能减少、避免字母上部的环形连笔，并把字母写成闭合的样子，这样可以让人更容易辨认。
To differentiate between letters like "a" and "d" or "a" and "q", ascenders and descenders should be sufficiently longer.
为了区分字母“a”、“d”或者“a”、“q”，字母的上半部分或者下半部分要拉得足够长。
This will help them stand out more and be easier to read.
如此一来，字母的某些部分更突出，易于辨认。
2. Be consistent.
2. 前后一致。
Whether you experiment with letter shapes, handwriting size, or line slant, make sure that your baseline and letterforms are consistent.
不管写什么字体，写得大或小，是否使用斜体，都要使每个字母的大小保持一致。
Using graph paper is a great way to practice this.
使用网格纸练习是一个不错的选择。
A baseline is the bottom of most letters, where the descender goes under.
大部分的字母都在基线上面，下一行的字母则在基线的下方。
It's easier to read writing that has a straight baseline rather than text that jumps from place to place.
没有基线的文本字母参差不齐，而有基线的文本与之相比更易于阅读。
Letters that have the same shapes should be a similar size.
类似的字母大小要一样。
A lowercase "e" should be the same height as an "o".
小写的“e”应该和“o”的高度一样。
Capitals and tall letters should be even too.
大写字母和长字母也是一个道理。
In the same vein, ascenders and descenders should share a similar length.
同一行字母的上下部分也要保持长度一致。
3. Avoid tangles.
3. 避免书写重叠。
Long ascenders and descenders can get tangled together.
上部长的字母容易和上一行字母的下部连在一起。
Make your tall letters ever so slightly shorter, or leave more space between lines.
让长字母写短一点，或者行与行之间留出更多的空间。
4. Keep connections tidy.
4. 连笔干净利落。
When we write quickly, we tend to connect letters, which can make words look messy.
要是书写过快，往往会连笔，这样单词就会显得凌乱不堪。
When printing, avoid connecting letters.
所以，印刷字体要避免连体字。
This will help your writing look neater.
这样会让你的字体更加整洁。
When writing in cursive, some people use curved connectors, but these can confuse letter shapes or even be mistaken for letters themselves.
写草书体的时候，字母间都会以曲线连在一起，这样容易混淆字母，无法将字母辨认准确。
Use straight connectors to clearly differentiate them from letters.
采用直线进行练笔就能将连笔和字母区分开来。
5. Slightly slant your writing.
在书写字母时略微倾斜。
Most people write with a slant when they write quickly, but writing that's too slanted is hard to read.
很多人在快速书写的时候，字母会倾斜，但是如果倾斜过度就会难以辨认。
Aim for a slight slant between five and fifteen degrees.
字母倾斜度在5~15度之间便可。
If you have trouble keeping the same angle, experiment with turning your paper.
如果难以保持倾斜一致，那就把纸调整一下。
Right-handed writers can try writing with their page lying vertically, or angled to the left.
习惯右手写字的人倾向把纸垂直放，或者向右倾斜一点（左边留出一些角度）。
Lefties often prefer angling their paper to the right.
左撇子则喜欢把纸向左倾斜（在纸的右边留出角度）。
If you're looking for a pen and paper to practice with, we have some tried and true recommendations: The Uni-ball Signo is one of our favorite pens--period!
如果你在寻找适合的笔和纸，这里有切实可行的好建议：日本三菱的笔是现期我们最喜欢，好用的笔之一！
It has smooth, free-flowing ink that makes it a cinch to practice without pesky hand cramps.
这款笔书写顺滑，下墨流畅，书写轻松，手也不会抽筋。
If you prefer ballpoint pens, the Uni Jet stream is an excellent option.
如果你喜欢用圆珠笔，Uni Jet stream是一款不错的选择。
The ink dries quickly, so it's great for smudge-prone lefties.
这款笔墨迹速干，对于容易抹坏自己的左撇子而言是不错的选择。
The Lamy Safari is a great choice for fountain pen beginners and experts alike.
凌美狩猎者钢笔对于初学者而言是不错的选择，它会让你如行家一样出色。
Its triangular grip section helps you hold the pen properly.
三角握笔设计可以帮助你正确握笔。
We recommend using graph paper while you practice, like this Maruman Mnemosyne notebook.
我们建议使用网格纸书写，例如这款记忆女神系列笔记本。
It has built-in guidelines for your letters, ascenders, and descenders.
这样书写字母的上部和下部都会有参照。
