[参考译文]如今在遗传学家中间流传着一个不足为信的故事:有一位青年分子生物学家的研究工作看来陷入了绝境。为了完成一项关键性的实验,她需要一种实验室设计的细菌基因。这种基因的菌苗只有从一位卓有建树却具有不愿与他人合作名声的科学家的实验室里才能得到。尽管如此,她还是写了封信给这位科学家,请求提供带有所需基因的菌株,并解释说,这对她 The story of an underbelly is now circulating among geneticists: The work of a young molecular biologist appears to be in desperation. To complete a critical experiment, she needed a laboratory designed bacterial gene. The bacterin of this gene can only be obtained from a laboratory where there is a great scientist who has a reputation for unwillingness to cooperate with others. Despite this, she wrote a letter to the scientist asking for a strain with the desired gene and explained that it was for her.
