爱德华·博克《爱德华·博克自传》· The Americanization of Edward Bok · 领导
Bok couldn't prove that the cigars were bad, naturally. So smoke that cigar he did, to the bitter end, and it was bitter! In fifteen minutes his head and stomach were each whirling around, and no more welcome words had Bok ever heard than when the President said: "Well, suppose we go in. Halford and I have a day's work ahead of us yet."

白话
博克明知雪茄可能不好,却没法证明,只好硬着头皮抽完,结果头晕胃翻,难受至极。直到总统说“我们进去吧,还有一天的活要干”,他才如释重负。这提醒我们:面对无法拒绝的社交场合,不必硬撑到极限,可以提前想好得体的退出方式,比如借工作为由及时抽身,保护自己的状态。
上下文
博克在白宫与哈里森总统会面,总统递来雪茄,他不好推辞,只好抽完。
