安德鲁·卡内基:安德鲁·卡内基自传·补录 14

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

These were times of intense political excitement, and there was frequently seen throughout the entire town, for a short time after the midday meal, small groups of men with their aprons girt about them discussing affairs of state. The names of Hume, Cobden, and Bright were upon every one's tongue. I was often attracted, small as I was, to these circles and was an earnest listener to the conversation, which was wholly one-sided. The generally accepted conclusion was that there must be a change. Clubs were formed among the townsfolk, and the London newspapers were subscribed for. The leading editorials were read every evening to the people, strangely enough, from one of the pulpits of the town. My uncle, Bailie Morrison, was often the reader, and, as the articles were commented upon by him and others after being read, the meetings were quite exciting.

白话

卡内基回忆,那是政治情绪非常激烈的时期。午饭后,镇上常能看到一群群系着围裙的男人讨论国家大事。休谟、科布登和布赖特的名字挂在每个人嘴边。他年纪虽小,却常被吸引到这些圈子里,认真听他们谈话,而谈话几乎一边倒地认为必须变革。镇上的人成立了俱乐部,订阅伦敦报纸,每天傍晚有人把社论读给大家听,奇怪的是,读报地点竟是镇上的一座讲道坛。他的叔叔贝利·莫里森常担任读报人,读完后大家评论一番,集会相当激动人心。这展示了普通民众如何通过读报和讨论参与政治,形成公共舆论。

你所在的社区或圈子,有没有类似“读报讨论”的公共交流方式?它对你有什么影响?
