尽管如此,我觉得我足够了解他,因此我们不必做太多的说话。从一开始,我就与Yeoman感到明确的接触,这是一种微不足道的理解,即说话在这个联盟中很便宜,一个知道自己的人几乎没有时间找到它,更不用说坐下来解释自己了。
(Nonetheless, I felt like I knew him well enough so that we did not have to do much talking. From the very beginning I had felt a definite contact with Yeoman, a kind of tenuous understanding that talk is pretty cheap in this league and that a man who knew what he was after had damn little time to find it, much less to sit back and explain himself.)
亨特·S·汤普森(Hunter S. Thompson)在“ 72竞选阶段的恐惧和厌恶”中反思了他与Yeoman的纽带,暗示他们的联系超越了言语。汤普森(Thompson)传达了一种理解的感觉,即在他们快节奏的世界中,有意义的沟通通常被行动和目的所掩盖。当他们俩都驾驶政治竞选的复杂性时,他们处境的紧迫性几乎没有闲置的空间。
这种关系表明了对共同目标的深刻认可,这意味着最重要的见解通常是在沉默的认识中出现的,而不是漫长的讨论。汤普森(Thompson)的刻画强调了了解一个人的方向以及专注于实现它的必要性的重要性,而不是迷失在不会推进目标的对话中。
