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

For one man to edit two magazines inevitably meant a distribution of effort, and this Mr. Curtis counselled against. He did not believe that any man could successfully serve two masters; it would also mean a division of public association; it might result in Bok's physical undoing, as already he was overworked. Mr. Curtis's arguments, of course, prevailed; the negotiations were immediately called off, and for the second time--for some wise reason, undoubtedly--the real Edward Bok was subdued. He went back into the bottle!

白话

一个人同时主编两本杂志,精力必然被分散,柯蒂斯先生劝他不要这么做。他认为没人能成功侍奉两个主人;这还会让公众对他的归属产生分裂感;也可能拖垮博克的身体,因为他已经过度劳累。柯蒂斯的理由当然占了上风,谈判立刻取消,真正的爱德华·博克第二次被压了下去——无疑有某种明智的原因。他又回到了瓶子里!

上下文

出自博克自传,讲述他早年主编《妇女家庭杂志》时,老板柯蒂斯劝他放弃同时主编另一本杂志的机会。
