安德鲁·卡内基:安德鲁·卡内基自传·补录 217
安德鲁·卡内基《安德鲁·卡内基自传》· Autobiography of Andrew Carnegie · 领导
Among the educative influences from which I derived great advantage in New York, none ranks higher than the Nineteenth Century Club organized by Mr. and Mrs. Courtlandt Palmer. The club met at their house once a month for the discussion of various topics and soon attracted many able men and women. It was to Madame Botta I owed my election to membership--a remarkable woman, wife of Professor Botta, whose drawing-room became more of a salon than any in the city, if indeed it were not the only one resembling a salon at that time. I was honored by an invitation one day to dine at the Bottas' and there met for the first time several distinguished people, among them one who became my lifelong friend and wise counselor, Andrew D. White, then president of Cornell University, afterwards Ambassador to Russia and Germany, and our chief delegate to the Hague Conference.

白话
卡内基在纽约获得的重要学习机会中,最值得一提的是帕尔默夫妇组织的“十九世纪俱乐部”。俱乐部每月在他们家聚会一次,讨论各种话题,很快吸引了许多能人。卡内基是通过博塔夫人入选的,她丈夫是教授,她的客厅像沙龙,可能是当时全城唯一像样的沙龙。有一天卡内基受邀去博塔家吃饭,第一次见到几位名人,其中一位成了他一生的朋友和明智顾问,就是当时康奈尔大学校长、后来任驻俄驻德大使和海牙会议首席代表的安德鲁·D·怀特。这说明主动进入高质量社交圈能带来宝贵的人脉和成长。
