帮忙翻译一下
The great American writer Jack London was often in need of money when he began to write his book.He worked very hard then,but it didn't help him out.
Once he promised a New York magazine to write astory for it,but he was busy ai that time and could't keep his promise.The chief of the magazine wrote letters to Jack London several times,asking him to send the story.At last he went to the hotel.Jack London lived there. The chief said him a note,"Dear Dondon,if you don't get the story in twenty-four hours,I'll come up to your room and kick you downstairs.And I always keep my promise."
Jack London read the note and answered,"Dick,if Icould do my job with feet like you,I will keep my promise,too."
当伟大的美国作家杰克·伦敦开始写作的时候,手头总是缺钱.尽管他努力工作,但境况并未因此有所好转.
有一回,他答应为一本纽约的杂志写一篇小说,但他太忙了,无法兑现承诺.那家杂志社的主编给杰克·伦敦写了好几封信,向他催讨那篇小说.最后,他亲自去了杰克·伦敦居住的旅馆.主编向他下了最后通牒:“亲爱的伦敦,如果你不在二十四小时内写出那部小说,我就会上楼,把你从房间里踢到楼下.我一向说得出、做得到.”
杰克·伦敦读完那张便笺后,回函道:“迪克,如果我能像你一样,用脚来完成我的工作,那么,我也能说到做到.”
