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

Edward had collected postage-stamps, and the hobby had, incidentally, helped him wonderfully in his study of geography. Why should not autograph letters from famous persons be of equal service in his struggle for self-education? Not simple autographs--they were meaningless; but actual letters which might tell him something useful. It never occurred to the boy that these men might not answer him.

白话

爱德华收集过邮票,这个爱好 incidentally 对他学习地理帮助极大。那么,收集名人的亲笔信,对于他自学奋斗难道不也同样有用吗?不是简单的签名——那毫无意义;而是真正能告诉他有用信息的信件。这个男孩从没想过那些名人可能不会回信。

上下文

博克把收集邮票的经验迁移到收集名人信件上,认为这能帮助自己自学。

今日一问

你能否把某个爱好转化为学习或成长的工具?如何转化?
