马来西亚日我很长气~


马来西亚日,我在家里帮他edit他的manuscript。

他这个出名长气的家伙,每次在骂毛小孩的时候,他们不是被骂到猛打呵欠,就是一边听教,一边在伸懒腰。哈哈!结果他的长气功夫也发挥在他的手稿上。😤

我好像教学生那样,让他坐在一旁一边给他说哪里错了,一边要他自己改。

“唉哟,你这个写到好像在和人讲话那样,Firstly, Then, After that, Finally... 你在写scientific paper,不是在和junior解释experiment怎样做,不用这样婆妈的。改改改!”

“这里,你cite人家讲的light,那是几种light?”

“UV light, visible light, 还有infrared,三种。”

“所以咧?”

“啊,漏了s,唉!”

“这里你的UV illumination是几种?”

“0.44,0.74,0.90, 三种。”

“所以咧?”

“这里前面讲过了不要再repeat!”

“噢噢噢~”

“这里,太冗长了,不需要的字丢掉!”

“这里,combine成一句就好了,重复的部分丢掉!”

“Yes,ma'am. Yes, ma'am.” 他还有心情在玩。 👿

改好的部分他重读:“哗,你真厉害!这样改一改,直接变*Q1 paper去!” *嘻皮笑脸*

一天下来,结果我比他还长气了。真是气死!😂

这个必须征收编辑费了这个。来,钱包拿来我自己抽!嘻嘻…


*注:Q1 是指journal级别最高的paper. Researcher多数要 publish paper,终极目标都是想被 Q1 paper accept的。

Editor Got Paid


He came in with a parcel and asked me: "You know the postman came just now?"

"Hmmm.... I heard the horn, but I thought it was the neighbour."

So he sat down and started removing the outer layer of the parcel. I just carried on with my reading, thought he got parcel for his research.

After revealing the 2nd layer which was wrapped with colorful wrapping paper, he passed that to me: "Nah, this is for you."

I looked at him with exhausted eyes (signal of: enough to fool me, I am not in the mood to be fooled  ). He likes to cheat me to see my funny expressions, and I used to layan to keep him happy. Haha.

He said: "Seriously this is for you, thanks for editing and correcting my manuscripts.  "

Oh wow, now I got bonus to be an editor!  At least I know he appreciates what I did for him all these years.  

Should I con him for a fine dinner then?! (*evil laugh, LOL!!!)
