He discussed the matter with his former magazine partner, Colver, and suggested that if they could induce Mr. Beecher to write a weekly comment on current events for the newspapers it would make an auspicious beginning. They decided to talk it over with the famous preacher. For to be a "Plymouth boy"--that is, to go to the Plymouth Church Sunday-school and to attend church there--was to know personally and become devoted to Henry Ward Beecher. And the two were synonymous. There was no distance between Mr. Beecher and his "Plymouth boys." Each understood the other. The tie was that of absolute comradeship.

白话

博克和以前的杂志合伙人科尔弗商量,如果能请比彻先生为报纸写每周时事评论,会是一个很好的开端。他们决定去和这位著名牧师谈谈。因为作为“普利茅斯男孩”——即参加普利茅斯教堂主日学并去那里做礼拜的人——就能亲自认识并爱上亨利·沃德·比彻。这两者是一回事。比彻先生和他的“普利茅斯男孩”之间没有距离,彼此理解,关系如同绝对的伙伴。这告诉我们,建立信任和亲近感往往来自共同的社群经历;如果你想邀请一位有影响力的人合作,先成为他圈子里的“自己人”,比直接谈生意更有效。

上下文

亨利·沃德·比彻是19世纪美国著名牧师,在布鲁克林普利茅斯教堂布道,吸引大量年轻人,被称为“普利茅斯男孩”的群体对他极为忠诚。

今日一问

你想合作的对象,你了解他的社群和价值观吗?你可以通过什么方式先成为“自己人”?
