The regular editor(编辑) of the agricultural paper was going off for a holiday,and I took his place. It was an easy job since I’ve been in the editorial business for fourteen years.I worked all week with untiring pleasure and waited a day to see whether my effort was going to attract any notice.As I went to the office in the morning,a group of men stood outside,watching me with interest,and I heard one or two of them say:“That’s him!” I was naturally pleased.
After a while,an old gentleman entered my office and asked me,“Are you the new editor?” I said I was.
“Have you ever edited an agricultural paper before?” “No,” I said.“This is my first try.”
“I’d like to read you this:‘Turnips(大头菜)should never be pulled;it injures them.It is much better to send a boy up and let him shake the tree.’”
“Now,what do you think of that?”
“I think it is good.Every year millions and millions of turnips are damaged by being pulled.If they had sent a boy up to shake the tree...”
“Shake your grandmother!Turnips don’t grow on trees!”
“Oh,they don’t?Well,who said they did?The language was intended to be figurative(比喻
\\\\
的).”
Then this old person tore his paper into pieces,and went out. Pretty soon after this,the editor came in,looking sad and confused.
He said,“What put it into your head that you could edit a paper of this nature?You talk of the moulting(换羽毛)season for cows;and you say that clams(蛤蜊)will lie quiet if music were played to them.Nonsense!Clams always lie quiet and they care nothing whatever about music.Ah,heavens and earth,friend!Why didn’t you tell me you didn’t know anything about agriculture?”
