WORDS
1.Summon
Smalltown reporters dream of the moment when their editor will summon them to cover the pianist or the ballet troupe or the repertory company that has been booked into the local auditorium.

Summon =summon up
在文中应该是第一种意思，传唤，命令他们做某事
2.Minted
It’s also where reputations for wit are born. The American vernacular is rich in epigrams(警句）(“She ran the gamut of emotions from A to B”)minted by people like Dorothy Parker and George S. Kaufman, who became famous partly by minting them

REFLECTION
在阅读这章时，我似乎不能很好地identify with Zinser.或许是对art这个题材的评论，平时接触地比较少，所以无法很好地体会怎样才是好的评论，加之这章的生词和结构让我很难懂。所以就读了个一知半解。
One is that critics should like—or, better still, love—the medium they are reviewing. If you think movies are dumb, don’t write about them.
criticism is only one person’s opinion. But he should go to every movie wanting to like it. If he is more often disappointed than pleased, it’s because the film has failed to live up to its best possibilities.This is far different from the critic who prides himself on hating everything.
对于这段话我是这样理解的：如果你觉得一个影片很无聊，还是不要去评论的为好。因为喜好是一个很主观的事，这仅代表了个人观点。所以我认为zinser想说的是，如果你被自己的喜好所支配，你就会有失偏颇。当一个评论家在看影片时，要尽量去喜欢它，但是始终还是失望大于享受的话，这才说明时那部影片没有达到所要的效果。这和你用否定他人来体现自己的优越是截然不同的。所以zinser还是很强调客观的。
don’t give away too much of the plot. Tell readers just enough to let them decide whether it’s the kind of story they tend to enjoy, but not so much that you’ll kill their enjoyment.
这可能可以部分体现我们所说的“剧透”吧。确实，影评人应该把握的“度”很重要。需要先很客观地传达这是怎样的一个故事，但又不能太用力，说了太多，大家可能觉得都没什么好看的了。
