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

This mollified the faithful secretary, but the word instantly came back that Miss Nightingale was not receiving any one that day. Bok wrote her a letter asking for an appointment, which was never answered. Then he wrote another, took it personally to the house, and awaited an answer, only to receive the message that "Miss Nightingale says there is no answer to the letter."

白话

这话安抚了忠实的秘书,但立刻传回消息:南丁格尔小姐今天不见任何人。博克写信求见,信石沉大海;再写一封,亲自送到门口等回音,只得到一句“南丁格尔小姐说这封信无需回复”。连续被拒,说明对方不是没收到,而是明确不想见。遇到这种情况,继续加码只会消耗自己。可以判断:对方已给出清晰边界,就该停手,把精力转向别处,而不是把拒绝解读成自己不够努力。

上下文

南丁格尔晚年隐居,极少见客。博克想请她为杂志撰稿,屡次求见均被婉拒。

今日一问

你有没有把别人的明确拒绝,误当成“再试一次就能成”的信号?
