爱德华·博克《爱德华·博克自传》· The Americanization of Edward Bok · 领导
At this juncture, Rudyard Kipling unconsciously came into the very centre of the suffragists' maelstrom of attack when he sent Bok his famous poem: "The Female of the Species." The suffragists at once took the argument in the poem as personal to themselves, and now Kipling got the full benefit of their vitriolic abuse. Bok sent a handful of these criticisms to Kipling, who was very gleeful about them. "I owe you a good laugh over the clippings," he wrote. "They were delightful. But what a quantity of spare time some people in this world have to burn!"

白话
就在这时,吉卜林无意中卷入了妇女参政者的攻击漩涡。他寄给博克一首名诗《女性物种》,支持者立刻把诗里的观点当成针对自己的,于是吉卜林也挨了一顿猛烈谩骂。博克把一些批评寄给吉卜林,他反而很高兴,回信说:'这些剪报让我大笑一场,太有趣了。不过世上有些人真多闲工夫可烧啊!'这说明,面对无端的攻击,不必太当真;能一笑置之,反而显出气度,也省下精力做正事。
上下文
吉卜林是英国作家,他寄诗给博克,诗中对女性带有讽刺意味,引发妇女参政者不满。
今日一问
当你被误解或攻击时,能不能像吉卜林一样一笑置之,而不是纠缠到底?
