爱德华·博克《爱德华·博克自传》· The Americanization of Edward Bok · 领导
Thousands of subscriptions were stopped; advertisements gave notice that they would cancel their accounts; the greatest pressure was placed upon Mr. Curtis to order his editor to cease, and Bok had the grim experience of seeing his magazine, hitherto proclaimed all over the land as a model advocate of the virtues, refused admittance into thousands of homes, and saw his own friends tear the offending pages out of the periodical before it was allowed to find a place on their home-tables.

白话
成千上万的订阅被取消;广告商通知要撤销账户;最大的压力落在柯蒂斯先生身上,要求他命令编辑停手。博克经历了严峻的考验:他这本杂志,之前在全国被赞为美德的典范,现在被成千上万家庭拒之门外;他亲眼看到自己的朋友在杂志被允许放上家庭餐桌之前,把冒犯的页面撕掉。这说明,推动敏感议题会付出商业和社交代价,但真正的改变往往需要承受这些压力,并找到支持你的核心读者。
上下文
博克因讨论性教育遭到读者退订、广告商撤资和社交圈排斥。
