安德鲁·卡内基：安德鲁·卡内基自传·补录 180
安德鲁·卡内基《安德鲁·卡内基自传》· Autobiography of Andrew Carnegie · 领导
I must not fail to record that Mr. Miller was the pioneer of our iron manufacturing projects. We were all indebted to Tom, who still lives (July 20, 1911) and sheds upon us the sweetness and light of a most lovable nature, a friend who grows more precious as the years roll by. He has softened by age, and even his outbursts against theology as antagonistic to true religion are in his fine old age much less alarming. We are all prone to grow philosophic in age, and perhaps this is well. [In re-reading this--July 19, 1912--in our retreat upon the high moors at Aultnagar, I drop a tear for my bosom friend, dear Tom Miller, who died in Pittsburgh last winter. Mrs. Carnegie and I attended his funeral. Henceforth life lacks something, lacks much--my first partner in early years, my dearest friend in old age. May I go where he is, wherever that may be.]

白话
卡内基记下：米勒先生是他们炼铁事业的先驱，大家都欠汤姆的情。他当时还健在，性情可爱，随着年岁增长越发珍贵；年老后火气小了，连对神学的猛烈抨击也不那么吓人了。人老了容易变得哲思，这也许是好事。后来重读时，卡内基补记：亲爱的汤姆已在前一年冬天去世，他和妻子参加了葬礼，从此生命缺了一大块——早年第一个合伙人，晚年最亲密的朋友。他盼着能去汤姆所在的地方。
