想当年，俺还在中土的时候，就没少给商务印书馆、外研社指出错误、纠错、改错（印刷错误不算）。只不过，俺很早就发现搞学术不怎么来钱，遂弃文从商。

    • 1. Don't take on a task requiring resources that you don't have. -onlook(且放白鹿青崖间); 2014-5-20 {134} (#8774538@0)
      2. Don't take on more than you can handle.
      3. Don't bite off more than you can chew.

      The last two are a little bit far fetched.

          • "Fetch" is very british, heard it a lot in Downton Abby, I'm wonder if there is an equivalent in American English for "Far-fetch" -errands_boy(Errands Boy); 2014-5-21 (#8775345@0)
            • "Far fetched" is a fairly common expression here in Canada although "fetch" is more of a British term. -onlook(且放白鹿青崖间); 2014-5-21 (#8776247@0)
              • I memorized this phrase in GRE books many years ago, after that, rarely saw it in TV, news papers, until recently heard it a lot in Downton Abby. but can't think of a similar American phrase -errands_boy(Errands Boy); 2014-5-21 (#8776288@0)

    • ＂没有金刚钻，别揽瓷器活。＂中的＂金刚钻＂，实指是工具，虚指是技能——尤其是特殊的技能；同样，＂瓷器活＂，虚指需要特殊技能才能胜任的工作。 -softface(探长); 2014-5-21 (#8775452@0)
      • 所以，白鹿 的翻译 Don't take on a task requiring resources that you don't have. ( #8774538@0) 就显得更像是解释性的译法。 -softface(探长); 2014-5-21 (#8775486@0)
