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

The president of a large Western railroad wrote to Bok that he agreed absolutely with his position, and asked whether he had any definite suggestions to offer for the improvement of some new cars which they were about to order. Bok engaged two of the best architects and decorators in the country, and submitted the results to the officials of the railroad company, who approved of them heartily. The Pullman Company did not take very kindly, however, to suggestions thus brought to them. But a current had been started; the attention of the travelling public had been drawn for the first time to the wretched decoration of the cars; and public sentiment was beginning to be vocal.

白话

一家西部铁路公司总裁同意博克的看法,请他给新车提建议。博克请了两位顶尖建筑师和装饰师设计方案,铁路公司很满意。普尔曼公司不太高兴,但公众开始关注车厢装饰,舆论逐渐发声。这说明,批评要配上可执行的方案才有说服力。博克没有只骂,而是拿出专业设计,让愿意改的人有路可走。想提意见时,最好同时准备一个具体可行的替代方案。

上下文

博克的批评得到铁路公司响应,他请专家做设计,推动车厢装饰改革。

今日一问

你提意见时,是只指出问题,还是也准备了可执行的方案?
