WHAT A DIFFERENCE a word makes. In 1631 printers omitted three letters from the seventh commandment. The bungled(搞砸的，弄糟的) injunction—“Thou shalt commit adultery(你当犯奸淫)”—cost them their licence and a £300 fine (worth around £54,000, or $72,000 today). The “Wicked Bible” is a warning of the perils of misprints(印刷错误).
一个词能带来多大的差别。1631年，印刷商从第七诫中漏掉了三个字母。这条搞砸的训诫——“你当犯奸淫”——让他们失去了执照并被罚款300英镑（相当于今天的54,000英镑或72,000美元）。《邪恶圣经》是对印刷错误危害的警示。
A new book offers an entertaining look(娱乐性的观察) at “all the ways words can go wrong”. Rebecca Lee, who works at Penguin Random House, explores publishers’ “glitches and gremlins(故障和捣蛋鬼（比喻问题）)”, as well as censorship, plagiarism, hoaxes, failures and feuds. She chronicles(记录，叙述) how the written word can be “divisive, damaging, disruptive and unwelcome(分裂的、有害的、破坏性的和不受欢迎的)”.
