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

This Alpha and Omega of all the commandments in the editorial creed some editors learn by sorrowful experience. Bok was, again, fortunate in learning it under the most friendly auspices. He continued to work without sparing himself, but his star remained in the ascendency. Just how far a man's own efforts and standards keep a friendly star centred over his head is a question. But Edward Bok has always felt that he was materially helped by fortuitous conditions not of his own creation or choice.

白话

编辑信条中所有戒律的“阿尔法和俄梅戛”(即首要和终极),有些编辑是通过痛苦的经验才学到的。博克又很幸运,在最友好的环境下学到了这一点。他继续不遗余力地工作,但他的幸运星依然高照。一个人的努力和标准究竟能在多大程度上让幸运星一直照在头顶,是个问题。但爱德华·博克总觉得,他得到了并非自己创造或选择的偶然条件的实质性帮助。

上下文

博克总结自己的编辑生涯,认为有些关键原则需要痛苦教训才能学会,而自己幸运地在友好环境中领悟。
