爱德华·博克《爱德华·博克自传》· The Americanization of Edward Bok · 领导
The magazine containing the first "lesson" was no sooner published than protests began to come in by the hundreds. Bok had not stated his object, and the public misconstrued his effort and purpose into an acknowledgment that he had fallen a victim to the prevailing craze. He explained in letters, but to no purpose. Try as he might, Bok could not rid the pages of the savor of the cabaret. He published the three dances as agreed, but he realized he had made a mistake, and was as much disgusted as were his readers. Nor did he, in the slightest degree, improve the dance situation. The public refused to try the new Castle dances, and kept on turkey-trotting and bunny-hugging.

白话
登出第一课舞蹈后，抗议信成百上千地涌来。博克没说明意图，公众误以为他向潮流低头。他写信解释也没用，杂志总带着歌舞厅的味道。他按约登了三支舞，但承认自己错了，和读者一样反感，也没改善舞蹈风气。公众拒绝新舞，照旧跳火鸡舞和兔子抱。核心是：沟通不清，好意会被误解。做法是：行动前先说明目的，别等误会发生再解释。
上下文
博克在《妇女家庭杂志》刊登卡斯尔夫妇的舞蹈教程，因未说明目的引发读者误解和抗议。
