著名作家萧伯纳在担任一家杂志社编辑时,曾约一位颇有名气的作家写小说,结果这位作家竟写了一篇充满凶杀、色情内容的作品。萧伯纳立即把稿件退掉。当作者提出质问时,萧伯纳回答说:“你如果发现鸡蛋已经变质了,而且臭不可闻,你有没有再吃下去的必要?”这个稿件终究没有被采用。 When the famous writer George Bernard Shaw, a famous magazine writer, wrote a novel when he was a magazine editor, the writer actually wrote a piece full of homicides and pornography. Bernard Shaw immediately returned the manuscript. When the author questioned, Bernard Shaw replied: “If you find the egg has deteriorated, and the smelly smell, you have no need to eat it?” This manuscript has not been adopted.
