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

The tide of public opinion at last turned toward The Ladies' Home Journal and its campaign. Women began to realize that it had a case; that it was working for their best interests and for those of their children, and they decided that the question might as well be faced. Bok now felt that his part in the work was done. He had started something well on its way; the common sense of the public must do the rest. He had taken the question of natural life, and stripped it of its false mystery in the minds of hundreds of thousands of young people; had started their inquiring minds; had shown parents the way; had made a forbidden topic a debatable subject, discussed in open gatherings, by the press, an increasing number of books, and in schools and colleges. He dropped the subject, only to take up one that was more or less akin to it.

白话

舆论终于转向支持《妇女家庭杂志》的运动。女性开始意识到,杂志是在为她们和孩子的利益努力,于是决定正视这个问题。博克觉得自己的使命完成了:他启动了这件事,剩下的靠公众常识。他把自然生活的话题从虚假的神秘中解放出来,激发了年轻人的求知欲,给父母指了路,把禁忌话题变成公开讨论的话题。然后他放下这个主题,转向另一个相关话题。这告诉我们:推动社会变革,要懂得在适当时候放手,让社会自己继续前进。

上下文

博克的性教育运动取得成功,他转向新话题。
