爱德华·博克《爱德华·博克自传》· The Americanization of Edward Bok · 领导
Mr. Beecher was rarely angry. Once, however, he came near it; yet he was more displeased than angry. Some of his family and Edward had gone to a notable public affair at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, where a box had been placed at Mr. Beecher's disposal. One member of the family was a very beautiful girl who had brought a girl-friend. Both were attired in full evening decollete costume. Mr. Beecher came in late from another engagement. A chair had been kept vacant for him in the immediate front of the box, since his presence had been widely advertised, and the audience was expecting to see him. When he came in, he doffed his coat and was about to go to the chair reserved for him, when he stopped, stepped back, and sat down in a chair in the rear of the box. It was evident from his face that something had displeased him. Mrs. Beecher leaned over and asked him, but he offered no explanation. Nothing was said.

白话
比彻先生很少发怒，但有一次他几乎生气了，不过更多是不悦而非愤怒。当时他和家人及爱德华去布鲁克林音乐学院参加一场盛大的公开活动，包厢是专为他准备的。家里一位非常漂亮的姑娘带了一位女友，两人都穿着正式的露肩晚礼服。比彻先生因另一场活动迟到，包厢前排留了一个空位给他，因为他的出席已广而告之，观众都期待看到他。他进来后脱下外套，正要走向预留的座位，却突然停住，后退一步，坐在了包厢后排的椅子上。从他脸上明显看出有什么让他不快。比彻太太俯身问他，但他没有解释。大家都没再说话。

当你对家人的穿着或行为不满时，是当场沉默回避，还是事后坦诚沟通？
