爱德华·博克《爱德华·博克自传》· The Americanization of Edward Bok · 领导

But it so happened that Edward knew the rumor was true, because Mr. Gould, some time before, had personally given him the contract of consolidation to copy. The next day a rumor to the effect that the American Union was to absorb the Western Union appeared on the first page of every New York newspaper. Edward knew exactly whence this rumor emanated. He had heard it talked over. Again, Western Union stock dropped several points. Then he noticed that Mr. Gould became a heavy buyer. So became Edward--as heavy as he could. Jay Gould pooh-poohed the latest rumor. The boy awaited developments.

白话

爱德华知道那个传言是真的,因为古尔德先生之前亲自把合并合同的副本交给他抄写。第二天,每家纽约报纸头版都登出美国联合公司要吞并西联公司的消息。爱德华清楚这谣言从哪来,他听人讨论过。西联股价又跌了几点,他注意到古尔德成了大买家,自己也跟着尽量买。杰伊·古尔德对最新谣言嗤之以鼻,男孩则静待事态发展。
