感慨一个

话说前几个星期拼死拼活赶了一个丝线，提交会议摘要，终于在丝线之前一个巴掌数的过来的那几分钟把该摘要给提交了上去。本来以为时间会很宽裕－－－－一整天，就写个摘要。没想到这个摘要改来改去，改了１０余稿，才最终定稿下来。最后的定稿让老子一看，每一句跟每一句都连的紧紧的，特别有关系。老子佩服之余，不免想起来以前karen爱徒曾经说过英文的文章结构严密，真是信哉此言啊。然后就不免感觉丧气，哈时候老子的风格能这么严密啊。

1? Didn't you revise the abstract into the tight final version?

Abstracts are like that. They have to be extremely concise by definition. Don't beat yourself up. Achieving this is the most difficult thing in writing and takes a lot of work. Trust me, most scientists can't do it.

Easy reading is damned hard writing. Some famous writer said that (Mark Twain?).

Actually, the only way to have a concise and precise piece of writing is to edit it repeatedly, relentless, and mercilessly. One has to be able to look at one's own work with a critical eye. (As you can see, I can't do it either; but that's what I was taught.)

呵呵，不太明白你在感慨什么。不过我也有过类似的经历，好些事情往往到了最后才会迸发出人的全部潜能，我们也往往为此而兴奋不已。

General, Pt spent a whole day working on the abstract. I'd hardly call it "临时抱佛脚".

我几乎所有的摘要都是赶在丝线前几分钟递出去，有一次差点误了，突然想起那个州跟我们有一个钟头时差，才救了我一命。
感叹自己真是个没出息的人，做事情不到临头急不起来。
结果这次有篇会议文章是合作方一个教授主笔，我们提供结果什么的，我发现他居然在丝线前一天才把文章发过来让我们提意见，顿时感到堂堂教授也不比我好多少嘛--当然人家可能是真忙。

我们还要过延期的。今年我们这个领域的轰动新闻是从没有延期的最牛的那个会议，因为服务器死掉，给了1天还是2天的延期
