爱德华·博克《爱德华·博克自传》· The Americanization of Edward Bok · 领导
This article was the opening gun of the campaign, and this was quickly followed by a second equally convincing--both articles being written from the inside of the gilded circles of the couturiers' shops. Madame Sarah Bernhardt was visiting the United States at the time, and Bok induced the great actress to verify the statements printed. She went farther and expressed amazement at the readiness with which the American woman had been duped; and indicated her horror on seeing American women of refined sensibilities and position dressed in the gowns of the declasse street-women of Paris. The somewhat sensational nature of the articles attracted the attention of the American newspapers, which copied and commented on them; the gist of them was cabled over to Paris, and, of course, the Paris couturiers denied the charges. But their denials were in general terms; and no convincing proof of the falsity of the charges was furnished. The French couturier simply resorted to a shrug of the shoulder and a laugh, implying that the accusations were beneath his notice.

白话
这篇文章是这场运动的第一枪，紧接着又发了第二篇同样有说服力的文章，两篇都从时装店镀金圈子的内部写成。当时莎拉·伯恩哈特正在美国访问，博克请这位大明星证实文章内容。她不仅证实，还进一步表示惊讶：美国女性竟如此轻易被愚弄；并说她看到有教养、有地位的美国女性穿着巴黎街头堕落女人的衣服时，感到恐惧。文章有点耸动，引来美国报纸转载评论，要点被电讯传到巴黎，巴黎 couturier 当然否认，但否认笼统，拿不出反证，只能耸肩一笑，表示不屑一顾。
上下文
莎拉·伯恩哈特是当时世界最著名的法国女演员，她的证词大大增加了文章的可信度。

当权威人士只用“不屑回应”来否认指控时，你更该相信事实还是姿态？
