伟大的作家
(译文)
从前有一个年轻人,他在青少年时期曾声称,他的志向是成为一个伟大的作家。
当别人问到他对“伟大”的定义时,他回答说:“我要写那种全世界的人都会读的东西,那种会真正触动人们情感的东西,那种会使人尖叫,哭泣,并在痛苦和愤怒中嚎叫的东西。”
现在,他服务于微软公司,工作是编写错误信息。
原文:
The Great Writer
There was once a young man who, in his youth, professed his desire to become a great writer.
When asked to define "great" he said, "I want to write stuff that the whole world will read, stuff that people will react to on a truly emotional level. Stuff that will make them scream, cry, and howl in pain and anger!"
He now works for Microsoft, writing error messages.
