背诵为王第一册 Unit38:I Don’t Have to Eat All the Egg

38 “I Don’t Have to Eat All the Egg.”

A lady once wrote a long story. She sent it to a famous editor. After a few

weeks the story was returned to her. The lady was angry. She wrote to the

editor:

"Dear Sir: Yesterday you sent back a story of mine. How do you know that the

story is not good? You did not read it. Before I sent you the story, I pasted

together pages 18, 19 and 20. This was a test to see whether you would read

the story. When the story came back yesterday, the pages were still pasted

together. Is this the way you read all the stories that are sent to you?"The

editor wrote back: "Dear Madam: At breakfast when I open an egg I don't have

to eat all the egg to discover that it is bad.?

曾经有位女士，她写了一篇很长的.小说，并把它寄给了一位著名的编辑。几周后小说退回来了。女士很生气，她给编辑写了封信。

“尊敬的编辑先生：

昨天你把我的小说退回来了。你怎么知道这小说不好？你根本没有读过。在寄给你之前，我把十八、十九和二十页粘在了一起。这是要检查你是否会读我写的小说。昨天小说退回来时，这三页还粘在一起。难道这就是你阅读所有寄给你的作品的方式吗？”
