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

Here in the Nineteenth Century Club was an arena, indeed. Able men and women discussed the leading topics of the day in due form, addressing the audience one after another. The gatherings soon became too large for a private room. The monthly meetings were then held in the American Art Galleries. I remember the first evening I took part as one of the speakers the subject was "The Aristocracy of the Dollar." Colonel Thomas Wentworth Higginson was the first speaker. This was my introduction to a New York audience. Thereafter I spoke now and then. It was excellent training, for one had to read and study for each appearance.

白话

十九世纪俱乐部是个真正的竞技场。能人轮流上台,正式讨论当时的主要话题。聚会很快人多到私人房间装不下,每月会议改在美国艺术画廊举行。卡内基记得第一次作为演讲者参加的那晚,主题是“金钱贵族”,第一个发言的是希金森上校。那是他第一次面对纽约听众,之后他偶尔发言。他认为这是极好的训练,因为每次露面都得读书和研究。这告诉我们,公开表达和讨论能逼人深入学习,是提升思维和口才的有效途径。
