salesmanship（n.）
"（好）推销员的特点或品质"，1853年，来自 salesman + -ship。
The modern system of salesmanship has become so much like persecution reduced to a science, that it is quite a luxury to be allowed the use of your own discretion, without being dragooned, by a shopkeeper's deputy, into looking at what you do not care to see, or buying what you would not have. A man in his sane mind, with the usual organs of speech, has a right to be treated as if he knows what he wants, and is able to ask for it. [The Literary World, Feb. 26, 1853]
现代推销技巧已经变得如此类似于科学化的迫害，以至于能够自行决策而不被商店代理人强迫去看自己不感兴趣的东西或购买自己不想要的东西，已经成为一种奢侈。一个理智的人，用正常的言语器官，有权被当作知道自己想要什么并且能够要求的人来对待。[《文学世界》，1853年2月26日]
