爱德华·博克《爱德华·博克自传》· The Americanization of Edward Bok · 领导
The editorial Edward Bok enjoyed this hugely; the real Edward Bok did not. The one was bottled up in the other. It was a case of absolute self-effacement. The man behind the editor knew that if he followed his own personal tastes and expressed them in his magazine, a limited audience would be his instead of the enormous clientele that he was now reaching. It was the man behind the editor who had sought expression in the idea of Country Life, the magazine which his company sold to Doubleday, Page & Company, and which he would personally have enjoyed editing.

白话
作为编辑的博克非常享受这种成功，但真实的博克并不享受。真实的他被压抑在编辑身份之下，这是一种彻底的自我隐没。他明白，如果追随个人品味并在杂志中表达，只能吸引有限读者，而非现在庞大的客户群。那个被压抑的自我曾通过《乡村生活》杂志寻求表达，这家杂志被公司卖给双日出版社，而他个人会很乐意编辑它。这揭示了职业成功与个人志趣之间的张力。
上下文
博克在自传中坦承，他作为编辑的成功与个人兴趣之间存在矛盾，他不得不压抑自我。
