从这个月份算起,我辞去主编工作正好一年。就是说,我与二十三年的编辑生涯告别得干净彻底。好像没有多少感慨,也没有多少值得回味的东西。尽管二十三年的光阴,占据了我生命中的最重要的阶段,但是,过去了,也就那么过去了,既没有激动也没有沮丧。更不想提笔去写什么关于编辑的文章。然而,就在我完全转换成一个专业作家的思维方式与写作方式的时候,令我尊敬的高起元老师给我送来了任火这部《编辑独语》。他对我说,你当了那么多年的编辑,你看看这本书,我想你会有话可说的。坦率地说,一看这个题目,我就提不起兴趣,但是,出于对起元老师的尊敬,我不能不勉强翻翻。但是,这一翻,我像被唤醒了。继而是震惊和感慨。 Starting from this month, I resigned as chief editor for exactly a year. That is to say, I said good-bye to my 23-year editorial career. It seems that there is not much emotion, nor how much memorable things. Although twenty-three years have taken the most important part of my life, the past has passed without any excitement or frustration. More do not want to mention pen to write what about editing articles. However, just as I was completely converted into a professional writer’s way of thinking and writing, my esteemed highly-acclaimed teacher sent me the editor-in-chief of this edict. He told me that you have been an editor for so many years and that you look at this book and I think you will have something to say. To be frank, I could not mention my interest when I looked at the subject, but I could not but force it out of respect for my respect for the teacher. However, this turn, I was awakened. Then was shock and emotion.
