爱德华·博克《爱德华·博克自传》· The Americanization of Edward Bok · 领导
Rudyard Kipling was, and is, a notable example of this broad and just policy. His work is never imposed upon an editor; it is invariably submitted, in its completed form, for acceptance or declination. "Wait until it's done," said Kipling once to Bok as he outlined a story to him which the editor liked, "and see whether you want it. You can't tell until then." (What a difference from the type of author who insists that an editor must take his or her story before a line is written!)

白话
鲁德亚德·吉卜林就是这种宽宏公正政策的显著例子,过去是,现在也是。他的作品从不强加给编辑;总是以完成稿的形式提交,由编辑决定接受或拒绝。吉卜林有一次向博克概述一个编辑喜欢的故事时说:“等它写完了再说,看你要不要。在那之前你判断不了。”这和那种坚持编辑必须在他或她动笔前就接受故事的类型多么不同啊!
上下文
博克回忆与吉卜林的交往,用来说明好作者尊重编辑的取舍权,也尊重作品本身。
今日一问
你能否也做到“等做完了再让人判断”,而不是先要承诺?
