安德鲁·卡内基《安德鲁·卡内基自传》· Autobiography of Andrew Carnegie · 领导
The proceeds of the sale were most disappointing. The looms brought hardly anything, and the result was that twenty pounds more were needed to enable the family to pay passage to America. Here let me record an act of friendship performed by a lifelong companion of my mother--who always attracted stanch friends because she was so stanch herself--Mrs. Henderson, by birth Ella Ferguson, the name by which she was known in our family. She boldly ventured to advance the needful twenty pounds, my Uncles Lauder and Morrison guaranteeing repayment. Uncle Lauder also lent his aid and advice, managing all the details for us, and on the 17th day of May, 1848, we left Dunfermline. My father's age was then forty-three, my mother's thirty-three. I was in my thirteenth year, my brother Tom in his fifth year--a beautiful white-haired child with lustrous black eyes, who everywhere attracted attention.

白话
拍卖所得令人大失所望。织布机几乎没卖到什么钱，结果还需要二十英镑才能让全家支付去美国的船费。在这里，让我记录母亲一位终身朋友所做的友谊之举——母亲总是吸引坚定的朋友，因为她自己就很坚定——亨德森夫人，娘家姓埃拉·弗格森，这是我们家对她的称呼。她大胆地垫付了所需的二十英镑，由劳德和莫里森叔叔担保偿还。劳德叔叔也伸出援手并给予建议，为我们处理所有细节。1848年5月17日，我们离开了邓弗姆林。父亲当时43岁，母亲33岁。我13岁，弟弟汤姆5岁——一个漂亮的满头白发、黑亮眼睛的孩子，到处引人注目。
上下文
卡内基一家因父亲织布生意失败，决定移民美国，但卖织布机的钱不够，幸得朋友资助。
