"There is always good in everything, I think," replied Phillips Brooks. "A thing must be pretty bad that hasn't some good in it." Then he stopped, and after a moment went on: "My idea is that the fate of Sunday newspapers rests very much with Sunday editors. There is a Sunday newspaper conceivable in which we should all rejoice--all, that is, who do not hold that a Sunday newspaper is always and per se wrong. But some cause has, in many instances, brought it about that the Sunday paper is below, and not above, the standard of its weekday brethren. I mean it is apt to be more gossipy, more personal, more sensational, more frivolous; less serious and thoughtful and suggestive. Taking for granted the fact of special leisure on the part of its readers, it is apt to appeal to the lower and not to the higher part of them, which the Sunday leisure has set free. Let the Sunday newspaper be worthy of the day, and the day will not reject it. So I say its fate is in the hands of its editor. He can give it such a character as will make all good men its champions and friends, or he can preserve for it the suspicion and dislike in which it stands at present."

白话
布鲁克斯牧师认为，凡事都有好的一面，一件事除非坏到极点，否则总能找到好处。他谈到星期日报纸的命运掌握在编辑手里：编辑可以把它办得值得一读，让好人支持它；也可以让它保持低俗、八卦、煽情，从而招致怀疑和厌恶。核心是，内容的质量取决于掌舵者的选择。与其抱怨环境，不如主动提升标准，用品质赢得尊重。
上下文
