爱德华·博克《爱德华·博克自传》· The Americanization of Edward Bok · 领导
It was in 1913 that the real Edward Bok, bottled up for twenty-five years, again came to the surface. The majority stockholders of The Century Magazine wanted to dispose of their interest in the periodical. Overtures were made to The Curtis Publishing Company, but its hands were full, and the matter was presented for Bok's personal consideration. The idea interested him, as he saw in The Century a chance for his self-expression. He entered into negotiations, looked carefully into the property itself and over the field which such a magazine might fill, decided to buy it, and install an active editor while he, as a close adviser, served as the propelling power.

白话
1913年，被压抑了二十五年的真实博克再次浮出水面。《世纪杂志》的大股东想出售股份，他们向柯蒂斯出版公司试探，但公司无暇顾及，事情便转到博克个人考虑。这个想法让他感兴趣，因为他把《世纪》看作自我表达的机会。他认真谈判，仔细考察资产和杂志可能填补的领域，决定买下它，并安排一位执行主编，自己则作为紧密顾问提供推动力。这显示他试图在职业角色之外找回个人表达。
上下文
博克在自传中讲述1913年他有机会收购《世纪杂志》，这被他视为自我表达的契机。
