爱德华·博克《爱德华·博克自传》· The Americanization of Edward Bok · 领导
It was the first time he had ever attempted to report a public address. General Grant's remarks were few, as usual, and as he spoke slowly, he gave the young reporter no trouble. But alas for his stenographic knowledge, when President Hayes began to speak! Edward worked hard, but the President was too rapid for him; he did not get the speech, and he noticed that the reporters for the other papers fared no better. Nothing daunted, however, after the speechmaking, Edward resolutely sought the President, and as the latter turned to him, he told him his plight, explained it was his first important "assignment," and asked if he could possibly be given a copy of the speech so that he could "beat" the other papers.

白话
这是爱德华第一次报道公开演讲。格兰特将军讲话简短缓慢，没给他添麻烦。但海斯总统开始演讲时，语速太快，尽管他努力记录，还是没能记全，其他报社的记者也一样。他没有气馁，演讲结束后径直找到总统，说明自己的困境，解释这是第一次重要任务，请求给他一份演讲稿，以便“打败”其他报纸。
