主编早。

Good morning, sir.
哎，早。这次的文章写得不错。把旅游和情感结合在一起。你自己感觉怎么样？
āi ，zǎo 。zhècì de wénzhāng xiě de bùcuò 。bǎ lǚyóu hé qínggǎn jiéhé zài yīqǐ 。nǐ zìjǐ gǎnjué zěnmeyàng ？
Ah, good morning. You wrote this article quite well. You brought travel and emotion together. How do you feel about it?
写起来挺顺手的。这要多谢主编让我自由发挥啊。
xiě qǐlai tǐng shùnshǒu de 。zhè yào duōxiè zhǔbiān ràng wǒ zìyóu fāhuī a 。
It came out quite naturally. I have to thank you for letting me freely express myself.
我看得出来，你的文笔很流畅、很细腻。但是你写得太自我陶醉，有点跑题了。虽然说写文章要有个性，但是读者的需要是最重要的。你写旅游文章一定要提供实用的信息。

I can tell, your writing style is very fluid, very exquisite. But you write a bit too narcissistically, and go off topic some. Although you need character when you write, the needs of the reader are most important. When writing a travel article, you have to offer useful information.
