最常见的人情博弈是一再请人家帮忙。在某种程度上──每个人都意识到了,只有不断提出要求的人浑然不觉──这样就不再是帮忙,而成了一种依赖。玛丽•鲍威尔(Mary Powell)担任的是总给人帮忙的人力资源和前台职务,她注意到那些总是请她代填保险单的人遭到拒绝后会很失望。
But sometimes it's just easier to do the serial favor than to resist it. Scott McIntyre, a director at a hospital association, often requests favors of a colleague who understands the company's database much more than he does. She can't be bothered trying to teach him anymore.

麦金泰尔说:“在很多情况下,授人以鱼比授人以渔更快捷。”
