I'm not a newsboy

Freelance newspaper writers don't get nearly as much attention as writers with regular bylines. So I was delighted when I finally got some notice. It was at the bank, and I was depositing a stack of checks.

"Wow," said the teller, reading off the names of publishers from the tops of the checks. "You must deliver a lot of papers."

 

我不是送报的

       报纸的自由撰稿人得到的关注并不象专职写手们的那样多，因为他们的文字作品印刷时会有附着个人资料。所以，当我最终得到一些关注时，我感到很高兴。那次我去银行，要存一大叠支票。“哇”，当出纳员读着支票票面顶端位置上写的行商名字，不由得惊呀地叫了一声，“你一定送了很多报纸了”。
