安德鲁·卡内基：安德鲁·卡内基自传·补录 134
安德鲁·卡内基《安德鲁·卡内基自传》· Autobiography of Andrew Carnegie · 领导
I took my place upon the first engine which started for the Capital, and proceeded very cautiously. Some distance from Washington I noticed that the telegraph wires had been pinned to the ground by wooden stakes. I stopped the engine and ran forward to release them, but I did not notice that the wires had been pulled to one side before staking. When released, in their spring upwards, they struck me in the face, knocked me over, and cut a gash in my cheek which bled profusely. In this condition I entered the city of Washington with the first troops, so that with the exception of one or two soldiers, wounded a few days previously in passing through the streets of Baltimore, I can justly claim that I "shed my blood for my country" among the first of its defenders. I gloried in being useful to the land that had done so much for me, and worked, I can truly say, night and day, to open communication to the South.

白话
卡内基登上开往首都的第一列火车，谨慎前行。离华盛顿不远，他发现电报线被木桩钉在地上，便停车跑过去释放，却没注意到电线被拉到一边才钉住。一松开，电线弹起打中他的脸，把他击倒，脸颊划出一道深口子，血流不止。他就这样随第一批部队进入华盛顿。除了几个在巴尔的摩街头受伤的士兵，他可以说自己是最早“为国流血”的保卫者之一。他为能对这片给予他许多的土地有用而自豪，日夜工作，努力打通通往南方的通讯。
上下文
卡内基在战争爆发后随首批部队前往华盛顿，途中因释放电报线受伤，但仍坚持工作。
今日一问
你是否曾为某个目标付出过“流血”般的代价？那份付出让你如何看待自己的责任？
