“凡有引文,一定要注明出处。”这是报刊、书籍出版部门对作者的一点要求。这要求无疑是合理的。因为编者和读者知识面再广,也不可能知道所有作者的所有引文的出处,而引文又要求准确无误,所以得告诉编者和读者一个核查的地方。对此,我想提一点“反要求”:报刊在刊登引文的时候,也注明出处。如果认为全部如此没有必要或有困难,起码对一些比较重要的,不为人常见的引文能做到这一点。这样做的好处有四点:一是使文章更加可信;二是督促编者必须查 “Where a quotation, we must indicate the source.” This is the newspaper, book publishing department of the author’s request. This requirement is undoubtedly reasonable. Because editors and readers have a wide range of knowledge, it is not possible to know where all the author’s citations originated, and the citations are accurate, so they have to tell editors and readers one verification point. In this regard, I would like to raise one point “anti-demand”: newspapers also indicate the source when citing them. If at all this is not considered necessary or difficult, at least it will do so for some of the more important, less commonly used citations. The benefits of doing so are four points: First, make the article more credible; second, urge the editor must check
