“我不必吃掉整個雞蛋?！?曾經(jīng)有位女士，她寫了一篇很長的小說，并把它寄給了一位著名的編輯。幾周后小說退回來了。女士很生氣，她給編輯寫了封信。
“尊敬的編輯先生： 昨天你把我的小說退回來了。你怎么知道這小說不好？你根本沒有讀過。在寄給你之前，我把十八、十九和二十頁粘在了一起。這是要檢查你是否會讀我寫的小說。昨天小說退回來時，這三頁還粘在一起。難道這就是你閱讀所有寄給你的作品的方式嗎？”
編輯回信寫道：“尊敬的女士： 早餐時我打開一只雞蛋，我不必等到吃完整個雞蛋后才發(fā)現(xiàn)蛋是臭的?！?

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:

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.?
