Now, my hand was kind of hovering on the delete button, right?

这时我手指大概 已经放在键上了，对吧？

If it seems to work, it can stay. If it doesn't (and to me this one sounds pretty bad, like Spiro Agnew crossed with Robert Jordan) , well, that DELETE key is on your machine for a good reason.

如果看上去能行，那就留着它，如果不行（在我看来这句话实在是不大行，挺糟糕，好比斯派·阿格纽特·乔丹撞到了一处），你电脑上那个“Delete”(）键存在还是很有道理。

You just have to hit control, delete.

你只需要按下控制键、键就可以了。

And the chair of the Republican National Committee Reince Preibus tweeted to Clinton, " if anyone knows how to use a delete key, it's you."

随后共和党全国委员会主席蒲博思(Reince Priebus)在推文回呛希拉里：“要说谁用键最得心应手，非你莫属。”

And I literally would have clicked the delete button on the server at that point.

我真会当场按下服务器上键。

See, it's hard to hit that delete button, isn't it?

知道了吧 按键其实很难？

What you must do is make an arrangement—one that holds together from start to finish and that moves with economy and warmth.

你必须做是进行安排——一个从头到尾连贯一致、既简洁又温暖布局。 学会享受这个整理过程。 我不喜欢写作； 我喜欢完成写作。 但我热爱重写。 我特别喜欢减：按下键， 看着一个多余词、短语或句子消失在电流中。 我喜欢用一个更精确或更有色彩词来替换平淡无奇词。 我喜欢加强句子之间过渡。 我喜欢改写一个乏味句子， 赋予它更悦耳节奏或更优美音乐线条。 每一次小小润色， 我都感觉自己离理想目标更近了一步， 而当我最终到达那里时， 我知道是重写， 而非初写，赢得了这场胜利。

Computers have replaced the typewriter, the delete key has replaced the wastebasket, and various other keys insert, move and rearrange whole chunks of text.

电脑取代了打字机，键取代了废纸篓，各种其他键可以插入、移动和重新排列整段文字。
