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

Field lost all traces of his supposed illness the moment he reached the box. Francis Wilson was on the stage with Marie Jansen. "Isn't it beautiful?" said Field, and directing the attention of the party to the players, he reached under his chair for the bag of oranges, took one out, and was about to throw it at Wilson when Bok caught his arm, took the orange away from him, and grabbed the bag. Field never forgave Bok for this act of watchfulness. "Treason," he hissed--"going back on a friend."

白话

菲尔德一到包厢,所谓的不适就全没了。他看见舞台上的威尔逊和詹森,一边说“真美啊”,一边伸手到椅子底下摸那袋橘子,掏出一个就要朝威尔逊扔。博克赶紧抓住他的胳膊,把橘子夺下来,连袋子也拿走了。菲尔德从此记恨博克,低声骂他“叛徒”“出卖朋友”。这里的关键是:菲尔德把恶作剧当乐趣,博克却要替朋友收拾场面,防止他当众出丑。朋友之间,纵容和制止都是关心,但制止往往更得罪人。可执行的做法是:事前把底线说清楚,事中果断拦下,事后私下解释,别让玩笑变成伤害。

上下文

出自博克自传,回忆他与诗人尤金·菲尔德的交往。菲尔德爱搞恶作剧,常让博克提心吊胆。

今日一问

当朋友开玩笑可能伤害别人时,你会当场制止,还是事后再说?
