爱德华·博克《爱德华·博克自传》· The Americanization of Edward Bok · 领导
The next opposition to Bok's plans arose from the soreness generated by the absence of copyright laws between the United States and Great Britain and Europe. The editor, who had been publishing a series of musical compositions, solicited the aid of Sir Arthur Sullivan. But it so happened that Sir Arthur's most famous composition, "The Lost Chord," had been taken without leave by American music publishers, and sold by the hundreds of thousands with the composer left out on pay-day. Sir Arthur held forth on this injustice, and said further that no accurate copy of "The Lost Chord" had, so far as he knew, ever been printed in the United States. Bok saw his chance, and also an opportunity for a little Americanization.

白话
博克的下一个阻力来自英美之间没有版权保护造成的怨气。他正连载音乐作品，便去求助作曲家阿瑟·沙利文爵士。可沙利文最著名的《失去的和弦》曾被美国出版商擅自拿去，卖了几十万份，作曲家一分钱没拿到。沙利文大谈这种不公，还说据他所知，美国从未印过一个准确的版本。博克立刻看到机会：既能纠正错误版本，又能做一次“美国化”的示范——用尊重版权的方式，扭转对方对美国出版界的成见。
上下文
19世纪末美国尚未加入国际版权公约，大量英国作品被美国出版商盗印，沙利文是受害者之一。

当对方因过去的伤害而对你所在的一方充满敌意时，你能做一件什么具体的事来扭转印象？
