His next step was to take into his confidence two or three friends whose judgment he trusted and discuss the possible change. Without an exception, they advised against it. The periodical had no standing, they argued; Bok would be out of sympathy with its general atmosphere after his Scribner environment; he was now in the direct line of progress in New York publishing houses; and, to cap the climax, they each argued in turn, he would be buried in Philadelphia: New York was the centre, etc., etc.

白话

他下一步是找两三个他信任其判断的朋友,讨论这个可能的变动。结果无一例外,他们都劝他别去。朋友们说,那份杂志没什么地位;而且他在斯克里布纳出版社待过之后,会跟那份杂志的整体氛围格格不入;他现在正处在纽约出版界晋升的正道上;最要命的是,他们轮流强调,他会被困在费城:纽约才是中心,等等等等。

上下文

出自博克自传,他当时在纽约斯克里布纳出版社工作,正考虑去费城接手一本女性杂志。

今日一问

你身边劝你“别离开中心”的人,他们的理由有多少是事实,有多少只是偏见?
