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

But Bok was determined that this time he would not fail. His sense of justice and protection to the mother-bird and her young was now fully aroused. He resolved that he would, by compulsion, bring about what he had failed to do by persuasion. He would make it impossible for women to be untrue to their most sacred instinct. He sought legal talent, had a bill drawn up making it a misdemeanor to import, sell, purchase, or wear an aigrette. Armed with this measure, and the photographs and articles which he had published, he sought and obtained the interest and promise of support of the most influential legislators in several States. He felt a sense of pride in his own sex that he had no trouble in winning the immediate interest of every legislator with whom he talked.

白话

博克这次铁了心不再失败。他的正义感被彻底点燃,决定用强制代替劝说:让女人没法违背自己最神圣的本能。他请律师起草法案,把进口、销售、购买、佩戴羽饰都定为轻罪;带着照片和文章去游说,赢得多个州有影响力议员的支持。他自豪地发现,每个谈过的议员都立刻感兴趣。这说明:当道德劝说失效,规则可以改变选择集,让“对的事”变成唯一方便的事。

上下文

博克在劝说女性放弃羽饰失败后,转向立法禁止羽饰贸易,这是20世纪初美国进步主义改革的一部分。

今日一问

你正在推动的改变,如果劝说无效,有没有一个规则或制度能让正确选择变得更容易?
