误:因此,与会各方可以相互信任而行动,同时还能在国家领导中政治反对者面前形成保护伞。

正:各位与会者在工作当中都可以采用这个掩护组织的旗号,凭借相互信任采取配合行动。尽管大家都来自不同的民权团体,千里之外的全国级别团体领导人之间少不了相互较劲,但是他们这些基层办事人员总还可以凭借这个掩护组织来免受神仙打架的牵连。

P687:This arrest, while legally indefensible, was not quite flimsy enough for a lawyer like Branton to beat down with words.

误:这次逮捕从法律角度看无懈可击,像布兰顿这样的律师也无法靠三寸不烂之舌改变这一个结果。

正:这封信的收信人名叫威廉.肖特里奇(William Shortridge)。此人是夏特沃斯的副官,担任教会司库以及负责“日常联络”。他的本职工作是葬礼承接人,说话办事雷厉风行。他是金老爹的同辈,是1923届霍华德大学毕业生,与小金一样都是 Alpha Phi Alpha兄弟会的成员。

P723:"I have a hunch that Khrushchev would get those troops in fast enough,' O’Donnell sighed. "That's what worries me about the whole thing.'

误:“我有预感,赫鲁晓夫很快就会派兵了,”奥唐纳叹息道,“这就是整件事里最让我担心的。”
