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

Father Kipling was, in every sense, a choice spirit: gentle, kindly, and of a most remarkably even temperament. His knowledge of art, his wide reading, his extensive travel, and an interest in every phase of the world's doings, made him a rare conversationalist, when inclined to talk, and an encyclopedia of knowledge as extensive as it was accurate. It was very easy to grow fond of Father Kipling, and he won Bok's affection as few men ever did.

白话

吉卜林的父亲是一位难得的温和、善良、性情极其平和的人。他懂艺术、阅读广、旅行多,对世界万事都有兴趣,所以聊起天来既有趣又像一本准确的大百科全书。博克很容易就喜欢上他,他也赢得了博克少有的深厚感情。这说明,一个人的魅力往往来自广博的见识和稳定的情绪,而不是刻意表现。

上下文

博克在回忆录中描述吉卜林的父亲,当时他们同船旅行,博克与他建立了深厚友谊。

今日一问

你能否通过广泛阅读和保持平和,让自己成为别人愿意亲近的“百科全书”式朋友?
