The landlady1 said to the hard-up author: "When will you pay arrears2(拖欠,滞付) of room rent?"
 
The author replied: "I will pay you as soon as I receive the check that the publisher will send me if he accepts the novel that I am about to start writing when I have found a suitable subject and the necessary inspiration. "
 
房东太太对手头拮据的作家说:“你欠交的房租什么时候付清呀?”
 
作家回答说:“等我找到了合适的主题,也有了必要的灵感,就立即着手写一本小说。只要出版商接受了,他就会给我送来支票。我一收到支票,马上就付清所欠的房租。”
