事情是这样的，半年前，按审稿人要求，对文章进行了全面修改并提交。不久，主编来信告知，文章被拒，理由是英文不过关。

  对这个理由，我们很质疑，因为投稿之前，稿件已经专业编辑公司修订。为此，我们做了再投的决定。大概过了2周，主编来信说，文章不再送审，要求是把整个稿件的修改过程说明清楚。从此，没了音讯。期间，我催问了几次，并做了撤稿决定。但因没有得到恢复，稿子还是没敢改投。茫然无措时，昨晚主编终于来信了。从三投到现在，差不多5个月了，真是漫长啊。

主编来信如下：

    Based on the advice received, the Editor has decided that your manuscript will be reconsidered after you have carried out the corrections as suggested by him. We strongly suggest that you use professional editing service to revise your manuscript. If you agree we will arrange to have it professionally edited at your expense.  If it can be edited to the point where it can be reconsidered, we will make a final decision at that point.  We estimate that this will cost approximately $350.  All we can guarantee is that the English will be acceptable.  You will have to pay regardless of our final decision since we cannot commit ourselves at this point to publishing the manuscript.
  

    这是否意味着修改后接受？还是其他？这样的决定意见常见吗？

    我应该采取何种措施？
