安德鲁·卡内基《安德鲁·卡内基自传》· Autobiography of Andrew Carnegie · 领导
My visits to Britain gave me excellent opportunities to renew and make acquaintance with those prominent in the iron and steel business--Bessemer in the front, Sir Lothian Bell, Sir Bernard Samuelson, Sir Windsor Richards, Edward Martin, Bingley, Evans, and the whole host of captains in that industry. My election to the council, and finally to the presidency of the British Iron and Steel Institute soon followed, I being the first president who was not a British subject. That honor was highly appreciated, although at first declined, because I feared that I could not give sufficient time to its duties, owing to my residence in America.

白话
卡内基多次去英国,正好有机会结识钢铁业的一批头面人物,比如贝塞麦,还有贝尔、塞缪尔森、理查兹等爵士和一批行业干将。后来他先被选进英国钢铁学会的理事会,又当上会长,是第一位非英国籍的会长。他很看重这份荣誉,但一开始推辞过,因为自己住在美国,怕抽不出足够时间履行会长的职责。
上下文
卡内基自传中回忆自己因频繁访英而融入英国钢铁界,并获选学会会长。
今日一问
面对一个看重却怕没时间做好的荣誉,你会先推辞还是先答应?
