昨天，我原来的老板接到通知，我们关于抗体降解的研究论文已经被圈内颇具影响 的期刊<<Protein Science>>接收并准备发表。 (Wednesday, May 13, 2009 10:46 AM：We are pleased to accept your manuscript entitled "xxxxxx" for publication in Protein Science.)
我老板旋即把这个好消息通报大家。 (Wednesday, May 13, 2009 10:58 AM：It is my pleasure to inform you that our paper has been accepted for publication in Protein Science. Congratulations to one and all!)
很快，在F公司工作的S回复邮件：太棒了！希望这篇文章能够在F公司收购W公司之 后帮助我谋取好处。 (Wednesday, May 13, 2009 12:19 PM：This is great news! I hope this helps me when the P-W deal is finalized.)
数分钟后，我们的合作者，M公司的J 回道：这的确是个好消息。不过，我不认为它 能够提升S的地位------充其量，你不过是F公司芸芸众生中的一个无名小卒！ (Wednesday, May 13, 2009 12:55 PM：Very good news. Although, I don't think that it will improve S's position - you are just a nameless FTE (full time employee) in their numbers game.)
我没有立即表态。睡了一夜之后，早上上班前先写封邮件：文章发表我很高兴，付 出的努力终于得到回报。大家合作很愉快！ J，我欣赏你的评论，它也让我梦醒了。 (Thursday, May 14, 2009 9:19 AM：This is wonderful. All of our efforts finally get payback. Excellent teamwork! J, I like your comments. You wake me up before I dream the same dream as S did.)
很快，J 的老板R回信道：J 在过去两年里发表了4篇论文，尚不包含这篇和另2篇送 审的论文。。。所以，继续做梦吧；对施教者要仿效其行而非听信其言。 (Thursday, May 14, 2009 9:55 AM：J had 4 papers published in the last 2 years, not counting this one and not counting two under peer review ... So dream on, and do what the preacher does, not what he says!)
