爱德华·博克《爱德华·博克自传》· The Americanization of Edward Bok · 领导
Bok now laid the matter before his mother, in whose feminine instinct he had supreme confidence. With her, he met with instant discouragement. But in subsequent talks he found that her opposition was based not upon the possibilities inherent in the position, but on a mother's natural disinclination to be separated from one of her sons. In the case of Fanny Davenport's offer the mother's instinct was strong against the proposition itself. But in the present instance it was the mother's love that was speaking; not her instinct or judgment.

白话
博克现在把这件事摆到母亲面前,他对她的女性直觉有绝对的信心。跟她一谈,他立刻遭到劝阻。但在随后的谈话中他发现,母亲的反对并不是基于这个职位本身的可能性,而是出于一个母亲天然不愿与儿子分离的心情。当年范妮·达文波特那个邀约,母亲的直觉是强烈反对那件事本身;但这一次,说话的是母爱,而不是她的直觉或判断。
上下文
博克的母亲曾对另一个工作邀约直觉反对,但这次反对的理由不同,博克在自传中做了区分。
今日一问
当亲近的人反对你的选择时,你能分清那是他们的判断,还是他们的不舍吗?
