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

All publishing houses employ "readers" outside of those in their own offices for the reading of manuscripts on special subjects. One of these "outside readers" was given a manuscript for criticism. He took it home and began its reading. He had finished only a hundred pages or so when, by a curious coincidence, the card of the author of the manuscript was brought to the "reader." The men were close friends.

白话

出版社常请外面的审稿人读特殊题材的稿子。有位外审拿到一份稿子回家读,刚读了一百来页,巧的是,稿子作者的名片被递了进来——两人是好朋友。审稿人顿时尴尬:他正在评判朋友的稿子,而朋友还不知道。这揭示了一个职业困境:当私人关系撞上专业判断,审稿人必须决定是回避、坦诚,还是硬着头皮继续。公平的做法是提前说明利益关系,或换人审稿,以免影响判断。
