爱德华·博克《爱德华·博克自传》· The Americanization of Edward Bok · 领导
It so happened that Field put this new paragraph on the wire just about the time that Bok's actual engagement was announced. Field was now deeply contrite, and sincerely promised Bok and his fiancee to reform. "I'm through, you mooning, spooning calf, you," he wrote Bok, and his friend believed him, only to receive a telegram the next day from Mrs. Field warning him that "Gene is planning a series of telephonic conversations with you and Miss Curtis at college that I think should not be printed." Bok knew it was of no use trying to curb Field's industry, and so he wired the editor of the Chicago News for his cooperation. Field, now checked, asked Bok and his fiancee and the parents of both to come to Chicago, be his guests for the World's Fair, and "let me make amends."

白话
菲尔德刚把新段子发出去，正好博克真的订婚消息公布了。菲尔德深感懊悔，真诚向博克和未婚妻保证改过，写信说“我收手了，你这谈恋爱的傻小子”，博克信了。结果第二天菲尔德太太就发电报警告：菲尔德正计划偷录博克和未婚妻在大学里的电话对话，提醒别登出来。博克知道管不住菲尔德，就电报芝加哥新闻报编辑请求合作制止。菲尔德被拦住后，邀请博克、未婚妻及双方父母来芝加哥，住他那儿看世博会，说“让我弥补”。这说明：对屡教不改的玩笑者，光靠口头承诺没用，要借助外部约束；同时给人台阶下，接受道歉但保持边界。
上下文
同书片段，菲尔德恶作剧成瘾，博克不得不联合报社编辑制止，菲尔德转而邀请他们做客弥补。
今日一问
你身边有没有屡次越界的朋友？你如何既保持关系又设立边界？
