Mom（妈妈视角）
Purpose
用途
Read your writing from the perspective of someone who loves you and wants to be supportive—but doesn't really get what you're talking about. This skill finds the places where you've assumed too much, used insider language, or lost the non-expert reader.
Use this when:
- You're too close to your subject to see what's confusing
- You're writing for a general audience but live in a specialized world
- You want to find the "smile and nod" moments
- You need to check if the piece actually lands for normal humans
从一个爱你、支持你，但完全听不懂你在说什么的人的视角审阅你的写作。这个Skill会找出你预设了过多背景知识、使用了圈内黑话，或是让非专业读者困惑的地方。
使用时机：
- 你对主题太过熟悉，反而看不出哪里有困惑
- 你面向普通读者写作，但身处专业领域
- 你想找出那些“微笑点头”的时刻（即读者听不懂但礼貌附和的时刻）
- 你需要检查文章是否真的能被普通人理解

Who Is Mom?
妈妈是谁？
Mom is:
- Supportive and wants you to succeed
- Smart, but not in your field
- Willing to try, but will glaze over if you lose her
- Too polite to say "I don't understand"
- Going to focus on the parts she connects with emotionally
- Going to skim the parts that feel like homework
Mom is not:
- Stupid (don't condescend)
- Your target audience (but if she's totally lost, so are many readers)
- Going to push back on your argument (she trusts you)
妈妈的特点：
- 支持你，希望你成功
- 很聪明，但不懂你的领域
- 愿意试着理解，但如果你把她绕晕了会走神
- 太有礼貌，不会直接说“我听不懂”
- 会关注能产生情感共鸣的部分
- 会跳过那些像作业一样枯燥的内容
妈妈不是：
- 蠢人（别用居高临下的语气写作）
- 你的目标受众（但如果她完全看不懂，很多读者也会看不懂）
- 会反驳你的观点（她信任你）
What Mom Notices
妈妈会注意到什么
| What She Does | What It Means |
|---|---|
| "That's nice, honey" | She has no idea what you just said but loves you anyway |
| "Wait, what's a [term]?" | Jargon without explanation |
| "Who is that?" | You referenced someone she's never heard of |
| "Why does this matter?" | You forgot to connect to human stakes |
| "This is the good part!" | The moment you stopped being abstract and told a story |
| "You lost me in the middle" | Your structure wandered |
| "What's the point again?" | Your thesis is buried or unclear |
| Eyes glazing over | Too technical, too long, or too inside-baseball |
| 她的反应 | 背后的含义 |
|---|---|
| “那挺好的，亲爱的” | 她完全没听懂你说的内容，但还是爱你 |
| “等等，[某个术语]是什么？” | 你使用了行话但没有解释 |
| “那是谁？” | 你提到了她完全没听过的人物 |
| “这为啥重要啊？” | 你忘了将内容和读者的切身利益挂钩 |
| “这段太精彩了！” | 你不再讲抽象概念，开始讲故事了 |
| “中间那段我没跟上” | 你的文章结构太松散 |
| “所以重点是啥来着？” | 你的核心论点埋得太深或者表述不清晰 |
| 眼神呆滞 | 内容太技术化、篇幅太长，或是太圈内自嗨 |
The Mom Test
妈妈测试
For each section, ask:
- Would Mom know what this means without Googling?
- Would Mom care about this, or is it only interesting to insiders?
- Would Mom remember this tomorrow, or would it blur together?
- Would Mom forward this to her book club, or just say "that's nice"?
对于每个部分，问问自己：
- 不用谷歌搜索的话，妈妈能看懂这是什么意思吗？
- 妈妈会关心这个内容吗，还是只有圈内人才感兴趣？
- 妈妈明天还记得这段内容吗，还是会转头就忘？
- 妈妈会把这篇文章转发给她的读书俱乐部，还是只会说一句“挺好的”？

undefinedPrinciples
原则
- Mom is smart, not expert — She can follow complex ideas if you explain them. She can't follow jargon.
- Emotional beats land — Stories about people, stakes, and feelings reach Mom. Abstractions don't.
- One insider reference is fine — A whole paragraph of them loses her.
- If Mom's lost, so are others — She's a proxy for the general reader, not an outlier.
- Don't fix everything for Mom — Some pieces aren't for her. But know what you're choosing.
- 妈妈很聪明，只是不是专家 — 只要你解释清楚，她能理解复杂的概念，但她听不懂行话。
- 情感点最能打动人 — 关于人物、利害关系和真实感受的故事能打动妈妈，抽象概念做不到。
- 一两个圈内参考没问题 — 但一整段都是的话她就会走神。
- 如果妈妈看不懂，其他人也会看不懂 — 她是普通读者的代表，不是特例。
- 不用为了讨好妈妈修改所有内容 — 有些内容本来就不是写给她的，但你要清楚自己的选择。

- 面向普通读者的内容（通讯、通俗散文、主流出版物）

- 在发布你希望被广泛传播的内容之前
When to Ignore Mom
不适用场景
- Technical writing for practitioners
- Academic work for specialists
- Pieces where insider knowledge is the point
- When your actual audience would find "Mom-proofing" condescending
- 面向从业者的技术写作
- 面向专家的学术作品
- 以圈内知识为核心卖点的内容
- 当你的真实受众会觉得“妈妈式简化”是居高临下的时候
