看到這些論文評審意見，我哭笑不得......

　　2010 年 Environmental Microbiology 雜志刊登了一部分雜志的審稿意見，以下是我摘出的 10 個史上最狠的評審意見。

　　讓大家在學術研究嚴肅、認真的前提下，體會一下審稿人的幽默與詼諧，有的審稿意見甚至讓人啼笑皆非。

　　1. This paper is desperate. Please reject it completely and then block the author’s email ID so they can’t use the online system in future.

　　這文章太不給力了…萬萬不可發表。此外，建議鎖定該作者的電子郵件ID，避免此人日后繼續投稿。

　　2. The writing and data presentation are so bad that I had to leave work and go home early and then spend time to wonder what life is about.

　　這小子的寫作水平和數據呈現能力也是無敵了，哥還是提前下班回家，花時間思考下人活著是為了蝦米......

　　3. Reject – More holes than my grandad’s string vest!

　　拒稿，必須的。本文的漏洞比我爺爺網眼背心上的洞還多！

　　4. I would suggest that EM set up a fund that pays for the red wine reviewers may need to digest manuscripts like this one.

　　我建議貴刊（環境微生物學雜志）成立基金，以便支付審稿人審閱時可能需要的紅酒，哥實在是上火呀。

　　5. The biggest problem with this manuscript, which has nearly sucked the will to live out of me, is the terrible writing style.

　　這位兄弟的寫作格式實在太恐怖，簡直摧殘了哥求生的信念，真是要把哥往死里整。

　　6. Hopeless – Seems like they have been asleep and are not up on recent work on metagenomics.

　　哥真的是要絕望了。TM 這作者要么睡著了，要么完全沒跟上宏基因組學的前沿發展。

　　7. A weak paper, poor experimental design, comparison of sequences using different primers, no statistical analysis possible, carelessly written, poorly thought through.

　　這篇文章弱爆了。實驗設計很挫，使用不同的引物序列比較；統計分析不置可否；寫作粗獷；思考淺薄。徹頭徹尾的悲劇呀。

　　8. I agreed to review this Ms whilst answering e-mails in the golden glow of a balmy evening on the terrace of our holiday hotel on Lake Como. Back in the harsh light of reality in Belfast I realize that it’s just on the limit of my comfort zone and that it would probably have been better not to have volunteered.

　　迷人的傍晚，金色的夕照，如果此時哥在科莫湖的假日酒店那鋪灑著余輝的露臺上，我會欣然同意審閱這篇文章。然而，在貝爾法斯特殘酷的日光里，我想剛才我那么想是被酒店啥的爽到了，文章么，咱能不提這事，行嗎？

　　9. The presentation is of a standard that I would reject from an undergraduate student.

　　哥從本科開始就不看這種文章。

　　10. The lack of negative controls. . . . results in the authors being lost in the funhouse. Unfortunately, I do not think they even realize this.

　　沒有陰性對照實驗！你小子是在游樂場里迷失了嘛？！要命的是，看你們根本就沒意識到。

　　寫在最后

　　好好寫論文，看論文的人也很痛苦呢。
