安德鲁·卡内基《安德鲁·卡内基自传》· Autobiography of Andrew Carnegie · 领导

At this time I remember my cousin-brother, George Lauder ("Dod"), and myself were deeply impressed with the great danger overhanging us because a lawless flag was secreted in the garret. It had been painted to be carried, and I believe was carried by my father, or uncle, or some other good radical of our family, in a procession during the Corn Law agitation. There had been riots in the town and a troop of cavalry was quartered in the Guildhall. My grandfathers and uncles on both sides, and my father, had been foremost in addressing meetings, and the whole family circle was in a ferment.

白话

卡内基回忆,当时他和表兄乔治·劳德(小名“多德”)非常担心,因为阁楼里藏着一面“无法无天”的旗帜。这面旗是画好准备游行用的,他相信是父亲、叔叔或家里其他激进派在反对《谷物法》的示威中举过的。镇上发生过骚乱,市政厅里还驻扎着一队骑兵。他的祖父、外祖父、叔叔和父亲都曾在集会上带头讲话,整个家族都处在激动不安的气氛中。孩子们虽然年纪小,却已经感受到政治冲突带来的危险和紧张,那面藏起来的旗子就像一颗随时会引爆的炸弹。

上下文

19世纪英国反对《谷物法》运动时期,卡内基家族积极参与激进政治活动,家中藏有游行旗帜,镇上局势紧张。
