447　The Grapes of Wrath 愤怒的葡萄

As a customer service representative for a book publisher, I frequently received inquiries about the books put out by the company. I'd use my computer to search for the title, which was displayed on the screen with a list of related material for suggested reading. A customer once phoned and asked whether we published A Raisin in the Sun. When my computer concluded its search, under “other suggested reading” was listed The Grapes of Wrath.

我在一家图书出版社当顾客服务代表，经常接到电话，查询有关我们出版的图书的情况。我用电脑搜索书名，就会在屏幕上列出建议阅读的有关材料的清单。有一次顾客打电话来询问我们出版社是不是出版过一本叫做《阳光下的葡萄干》的书。当我的电脑结束搜索的时候，在“建议阅读的其他材料”栏目下面列出的书名有《愤怒的葡萄》。
