爱德华·博克《爱德华·博克自传》· The Americanization of Edward Bok · 领导
Bok's musical friends and the music critics tried to convince the editor that Hofmann's art lay not so deep as Bok imagined; that he had been a child prodigy, and would end where all child prodigies invariably end--opinions which make curious reading now in view of Hofmann's commanding position in the world of music. But while Bok lacked musical knowledge, his instinct led him to adhere to his belief in Hofmann; and for twelve years, until Bok's retirement as editor, the pianist was a regular contributor to the magazine. His success was, of course, unquestioned. He answered hundreds of questions sent him by his readers, and these answers furnished such valuable advice for piano students that two volumes were made in book form and are to-day used by piano teachers and students as authoritative guides.

白话
博克的音乐界朋友和乐评人试图说服他：霍夫曼的艺术没那么深，他不过是神童，而神童最终都会像所有神童一样陨落。这些看法如今看来很可笑，因为霍夫曼已在音乐界占据显赫地位。博克虽不懂音乐，但直觉让他坚持相信霍夫曼。此后十二年，直到博克退休，霍夫曼一直是杂志固定撰稿人，大获成功。他回答读者数百个问题，建议极有价值，后来编成两本书，至今被钢琴师生奉为权威指南。
上下文
当时乐评界对神童有偏见，博克顶住专家意见，凭直觉长期支持霍夫曼。
今日一问
当专家都否定一个人时，你能否依据长期观察和直觉坚持自己的判断？
