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

What he saw in the position was not the need to know women; he could employ women for that purpose. He perceived clearly that the editor of a magazine was largely an executive: his was principally the work of direction; of studying currents and movements, watching their formation, their tendency, their efficacy if advocated or translated into actuality; and then selecting from the horizon those that were for the best interests of the home. For a home was something Edward Bok did understand. He had always lived in one; had struggled to keep it together, and he knew every inch of the hard road that makes for domestic permanence amid adverse financial conditions. And at the home he aimed rather than at the woman in it.

白话

他明白,主编的核心工作是管理和判断趋势,而不是亲自去了解女性;他完全可以雇女性来做这件事。他把自己定位成执行者:主要工作是把握方向,研究社会潮流如何形成、会往哪走、如果提倡或落实会有什么效果,然后从中挑出对家庭最有利的内容。他真正懂的是“家庭”——他从小生活在家庭里,曾努力维持家庭,深知在经济困难下维持家庭稳定有多难。所以他把注意力放在家庭上,而不是放在女性读者身上。

上下文

今日一问

你在工作中是否也曾把“了解用户”误当成“成为用户”,而忽略了更根本的需求场景?
