前几天发了小编论文被拒的文案，发现大家都很有共鸣。于是又让小编想起两三年前有次论文被拒，写的退稿理由是“请把一作改为二作”，身为一作的小编微微一笑，“你猜我改不改？”
想来大家一定也遇到过不少神奇的退稿理由，就做了一个小小的盘点，如有雷同，都是缘分。
1. I was really looking forward to reading this manuscript, however this enthusiasm soon waned.
——本来兴高采烈，你的论文像是一盆冰水淋头泼下。
2. While this study represents a substantial amount of work, it is not all that clear why the work was done.
——虽然论文里显示你做了很多很多工作，可这不是一个工作日记。
3. I wish I could explain what is the purpose of the manuscript.
——我的智商还不足以理解你论文的深意。
4. Authors wanted to make title catchy but actually finished trivial title, a la ‘Daily mail’
——想取个好标题是对的，但是请先多读点书。
5. However I deplore the fact that this paper has been created at all.
——这个论文就不该被写出来。
6. So many electrons worked so very very hard on this paper.
——整个研究工作只有电子们很努力。
7. You are trying to do too much and end up accomplishing too little. It is a collection of good ideas that do not add up to or advance to any meaningful conclusion.
——你想做的太多了但实际做的却很少。科学不是空想家的世界。
8. The discussion is inappropriate and the new content is generally poorly written。
——一派胡言毫无新意气死老夫。
9. The team has generated the kind of gaudy, brobdignagian dataset that makes it such a curious and exciting time.
——癞蛤蟆穿上花衣服还是癞蛤蟆。
10. It seems that the author is simply engaged in proprietary phrase coining – advancing a new term for a well-researched phenomenon.
——看来，作者是专有短语创造工作者 - 为一些深刻的现象提出新的术语。
11. Moreover, it is unclear whether the effect is sufficiently important to warrant replication.
——我也不知道文章的结论有没有意义，那就先拒了你。
12. It is worth saying that I am not convinced that you contribute to the evidence base in this paper.
——我才不信你做过这些工作呢，哼
13. That’s not how science is done.
——你研究的可能是玄学。
14. The authors conclusions not only contradict their own data but also the laws of thermodynamics.
——旁友，听说过永动机吗？
15. I really don’t like to be harsh in my reviews, but…
——“可以说脏话吗？”
——“不行。”
——“那没事了。”
16. While I think there is good reason to have performed this work, it does make for unexciting reading.
——语文是体育老师教的？
17. Line 156-160; this is the only correct, sensible and interesting finding of the paper.
——全篇几万字只有四行不是瞎扯蛋。
18. It feels a little bit like someone wanting to run a series of statistics.
——你企图成为一台计算机吗？
19. Are the “10 random reps" chosen at random?
——你这十个随机选取对象是抓阄的吗？
20. The authors need to add a level of puzzlement to their interpretations.
——你知道为什么《蒙娜丽莎》卖的比《沉睡的维纳斯》贵吗？
21. One wonders whether the analysis was an exercise in using a cannon to open an unlocked door.
——你的分析过程简直是用一门大炮轰开一扇没锁的门。
22. This work is only a maths game.
——只有我七岁的儿子有资格让我跟他玩数学游戏。
23. Overall, I think this manuscript is a waste of time.
——写这个论文不如去帮妈妈多做点家务。
24. Moreover, it is very difficult to see the actual contribution this manuscript will have.
——What’s the shit???
