Genre novel
Mark Twain. Samuel langhorne clemens, whose original name was Samuel Langhorne Clemens, wrote a lot in his life, covering novels, plays, essays, poems and many other aspects. In content, his works criticize unreasonable phenomena or ugliness of human nature, and express the writer's strong sense of justice and care for ordinary people as a compositor and sailor. Stylistically, both experts and ordinary readers believe that humor and satire are his writing characteristics. Masterpieces: Million Pounds, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, Gilded Age, Running for Governor, Fool Wilson, etc.
The permanent editor of a local agricultural newspaper is going on vacation, and I am looking for a job to take his place and become a temporary editor of the agricultural newspaper. How do I edit agricultural newspapers? Of course it's made up. For example, I said:
"Don't pick radishes by hand, so as not to be damaged. It is best to let a child climb up and shake the tree. " . When the reader told me that "radishes don't grow on trees", I told him: "Who said radishes grow on trees? I'm talking about metaphor. It's a metaphor. Anyone with a little common sense will understand that I mean to let the children shake the radish vines. "
I also said in the newspaper: "guano is a good bird, but we must raise it more carefully." The import period from the place of origin cannot be before June or after September. It should be kept in a warm place in winter, so that it can hatch birds. "
"Let's talk about pumpkins. This berry is the favorite of mainland New England people. They think making jam is better than vinegar chestnuts. At the same time, they think it is better to feed the cows with raspberries, because it is easier to fill their stomachs and cows like it. Apart from cucurbits and one or two varieties of cucurbits, pumpkin is the only vegetable in the lemon family that can reproduce in the north. But the old method of putting it in the front yard with shrubs is becoming more and more out of date, because most people think that shading pumpkin trees is an ineffective thing.
The weather is getting warmer, and the geese have already started laying eggs-"
My nonsense actually cured a young mental illness. Newspapers have never been so popular, never sold so many copies, never caused such a sensation.
However, the permanent editor couldn't stand it, so he gave up his vacation. He accused me of not knowing the basic knowledge of agriculture and ruining the reputation of the newspaper. I retorted that you said I had damaged the reputation of the newspaper, but no one ever liked it as much as today. I said, if I can make up for another two weeks, I can find the best readers that a group of agricultural newspapers can win for the newspaper-none of them are farmers, and no matter who kills him, I can't tell the difference between watermelon trees and peach vines.
Finally, I left and lost my job.
Wonderful sentence
1. Don't pick the radish by hand to avoid damage. It is best to let a child climb up and shake the tree.
Ah, it's not that long, is it? Hey, who said radishes grow on trees? I'm talking about metaphor. It's a metaphor. Anyone with a little common sense will understand that I mean to let children shake radish vines.
When those words came out of my mouth, I could see that they really played a saving role. I could see that his tense muscles relaxed and the anxious expression on his face disappeared. A quiet and comfortable expression crept across his brow, just like the moonlight shining on the bleak landscape.
I read a passage in your article again, in order to prove that I was really crazy, and then I set fire to my house and started working. I disabled several people and put one person on a tree.
This newspaper has never been so popular, never sold so many copies, never caused such a big sensation; But are we going to be famous for our crazy behavior and develop our career by mental illness?
My understanding If you really think that the temporary editor in the novel knows nothing about agriculture, then you are taken in by Mark Twain. In the last part of the novel, in the dialogue between the temporary editor and the permanent editor, the temporary editor quoted a lot of "biology" nouns to insult the permanent editor, indicating that the temporary editor who worked as a newspaper editor for 14 had at least a certain understanding and mastery of agricultural knowledge, and the reason why he wanted to talk nonsense in the newspaper was to cater to readers' tastes and increase newspaper sales. In a word, it is "pretending". Now watch some variety shows. In order to gain traffic, we have to try our best to pretend to be deep and professional, or pretend to be white and naive, just like the temporary editor written by Mark Twain. (202 1 12 18)
