课文译文

抢发独家新闻

周阳刚刚采访完一位著名影星回到办公室，编辑就说：“快点把那篇报道准备好，我们

这一版就要用它，这样我们就能抢在其他报纸的前面了，这就是独家新闻。”国际新闻部有人问道：“他真的做了那种事吗？”周阳回答说：“是的，恐怕他做了。”(接着)他(便)开始工作。

他的第一项任务就是写报道稿，他必须认认真真地写。尽管他意识到那个人一直在说谎，

但周阳明白，他决不能直接指控那个人。他必须做到准确无误，并且(报道)还要简明扼要！

他知道该如何做。经过几个月的训练，他已经学会了写文章，全然没有废话。他在电脑前坐

下来就开始工作了。

第一个看他这篇文章的人是他们部里的一位编审。他核查了证据，阅读了整篇文章，然

后把它转给技术编辑。她就开始编辑这篇文章，设计了主标题和副标题。她说：“这在版面上会很好看。这个人的照片该放在哪儿好呢？”然后因为这篇文章要用英文来写，所以周阳又

拿了一份稿子给一位母语为英语的雇员，请她对(文章的)语言风格进行润色。这位雇员对周

阳的报道稿也很满意。她说：“你确实能写好的头版文章了。”周阳高兴地笑了。最后主编审

读了这篇稿子，并且批准发表。他对周阳说：“做得不错，不过你还得拿出证据来我们才能确

信已经把事实都了解清楚了。”周阳兴奋地说：“我马上给您拿来。”

新闻文字编辑取走这篇报道，开始对所有报道和图片进行编排，直至把各版面全部确定。此后，所有的报道材料就要被制成胶片。这是印刷过程的第一步。由于这篇报道要用好几种

颜色，因此需要四张胶片。每一种主色要用一张底片，四张底片结合起来就制成了一张报纸

的彩页。经过最后一次校对后，这个版面就准备印刷了。周阳兴奋地等待着第一版的印出。

“要等到今天晚上，”他的朋友轻声说。“我期望电视新闻会对这件事做一些报道。这是真正

的独家新闻！”

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.”

like to read you this：‘Turnips(大头菜)should never be pulled；it injures them.It is “I’ｄ

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 milli ons and millions of turnips are damaged by being pulled.If they had sent a boy up to shake the tree...”

“Shake your grandmother！Turnips do n’ｔ

？Well，who said they did？The language was intended to be figurative(比“Oh，they don’ｔ

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，

know anything about agriculture？”
