As a customer service representative for a book publisher, I frequently received inquiries about the books put out by the company. I'd use my computer to search for the title, which was displayed on the screen with a list of related material for suggested reading. A customer once phoned and asked whether we published A Raisin in the Sun. When my computer concluded its search, under “other suggested reading” was listed The Grapes of Wrath.
我在一家圖書出版社當顧客服務(wù)代表,經(jīng)常接到電話,查詢有關(guān)我們出版的圖書的情況。我用電腦搜索書名,就會在屏幕上列出建議閱讀的有關(guān)材料的清單。有一次顧客打電話來詢問我們出版社是不是出版過一本叫做《陽光下的葡萄干》的書。當我的電腦結(jié)束搜索的時候,在“建議閱讀的其他材料”欄目下面列出的書名有《憤怒的葡萄》。
