上班没事逛帝国图书馆看对老滚系列游戏中书籍(大部分)的作者Ted Peterson本人的采访,讲到其被B社录用的经过。。。
基本设定是,当年(1992年)Ted Peterson刚刚从北卡毕业,学的是英语文学,于是找工作,由于经济不景气,所以投出去50多份简历都无果,某天其在华盛顿时报上看到一小条招聘广告:"Writer Wanted. Preferably writer of sci-fi and fantasy. P.O. Box Blah Blah Blah, Rockville, Maryland.",内容很简单的说了希望找一个会写科幻故事的人
广告本身很不起眼,看着像是那种骗人的招聘,但是出于50封简历无果死马当作活马医,Ted回了以下的cover letter(最后一句笑了):
"Dear P.O., I don't know what kind of a company you are, and I really sincerely doubt that writing sci-fi and fantasy stories is any kind of a career people actually do. Against my better judgement, I have decided to send you a copy of my resume and some of the stories I've written. There's not much else you need to know about me, other than I'm a recent college graduate, perfectly normal in every way except when the full moon comes out, I grow butterfly wings and a third eye. Yours Truly, Ted Peterson."
亲爱的P.O.,我搞不懂你们是什么样子的公司,真心怀疑写科幻故事可以称得上什么正儿八经的工作,但不管怎样,我还是决定寄给你们一份我的简历以及我写过的一些故事。关于我自己,并没有什么可以告诉你们的,我只是一个在各方面都正常不过的大学毕业生。。。除了在月圆之夜,我会长出蝴蝶翅膀和第三只眼睛。。。你真诚的,Ted Peterson
好吧。。。也许是我笑点太低了。。。
