安德鲁·卡内基:安德鲁·卡内基自传·补录 199

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

By the next night we succeeded in reaching a country town in the worst possible plight. We saw the little frame church of the town lighted and heard the bell ringing. We had just reached our tavern when a committee appeared stating that they had been waiting for us and that the congregation was assembled. It appears that a noted exhorter had been expected who had no doubt been delayed as we had been. I was taken for the absentee minister and asked how soon I would be ready to accompany them to the meeting-house. I was almost prepared with my companions to carry out the joke (we were in for fun), but I found I was too exhausted with fatigue to attempt it. I had never before come so near occupying a pulpit.

白话

第二天夜里他们狼狈地赶到一个小镇,教堂亮着灯、钟声在响,刚进客栈就有人来请,说会众已到齐,原来大家把卡内基当成了迟到的布道家。他差点将错就错开个玩笑,但实在累得不行,只好作罢。核心是:误会常带来荒诞场面,有时顺势而为能成趣事,但也要量力而行。今天遇到被误认的尴尬,不妨先看清自己状态再决定配合还是澄清。

上下文

卡内基自传中,他和同伴因雨延误,被小镇居民误认为迟到的布道家。

今日一问

如果你被误认成别人,你会将错就错还是立刻澄清?
