He was aware that his mother's words, when he accepted his editorial position, were coming terribly true: "I am sorry you are going to take this position. It will cost you the high ideal you have always held of your mother's sex. But a nature, as is the feminine nature, wholly swayed inwardly by emotion, and outwardly influenced by an insatiate love for personal adornment, will never stand the analysis you will give it."

白话

博克想起当初接受主编职位时母亲的警告:“我遗憾你要做这个位置。它会让你失去对女性一直抱有的崇高理想。女性天性 inward 全凭情感,outward 又受无止境的装饰欲驱使,经不起你的分析。”如今这话应验了。核心是:某些工作会逼你直面人性的复杂,打破你原有的天真看法。做法是:提前有心理准备,把理想和现实分开,不因看到阴暗面就否定一切,也不因此放弃原则。

上下文

博克母亲在他刚当上《妇女家庭杂志》主编时说了这番话,担心他理想破灭。

今日一问

你正在做的事,会不会打破你对某类人的美好想象?你准备好接受了吗?
