In my university bookshop the other day, inquiring about the availability of a book for my research, I told the Lady behind the counter that I had all the details of the book,and asked if she wanted the Title, Author list, Publisher, or what?
一天,在大學的書店里,我要為我的研究借一本書,我告訴柜臺后的一位女士有關這本書的詳細情況,問她是否需要書的名字、作者名單、出版社及別的。
"The ISBN number is all I need. It’s the world standard. With the ISBN number, I can locate the book on the computer and order it for you.”
“我只需要國際標準書號,它是世界標準,有了這個號碼,我就可以從計算機里查到這本書在哪里并訂購。”
I handed over the sheet of paper with the details and pointed to the ISBN number.
我遞給了她一張紙,上面記著有關書的詳細內容,并指給她國際標準書號。
"Oh, damn,you've got the American ISBN number, and we need the European ISSN number.”
“噢,該死的,你這是美國的國際標準書號,我所需要的是歐洲的國際標準書號。”
