安德鲁·卡内基：安德鲁·卡内基自传·补录 325
安德鲁·卡内基《安德鲁·卡内基自传》· Autobiography of Andrew Carnegie · 领导
"The Light of Asia," by Edwin Arnold, came out at this time and gave me greater delight than any similar poetical work I had recently read. I had just been in India and the book took me there again. My appreciation of it reached the author's ears and later having made his acquaintance in London, he presented me with the original manuscript of the book. It is one of my most precious treasures. Every person who can, even at a sacrifice, make the voyage around the world should do so. All other travel compared to it seems incomplete, gives us merely vague impressions of parts of the whole. When the circle has been completed, you feel on your return that you have seen (of course only in the mass) all there is to be seen. The parts fit into one symmetrical whole and you see humanity wherever it is placed working out a destiny tending to one definite end.

白话
卡内基读《亚洲之光》时刚去过印度，书让他重游故地，作者得知后送他原稿，他视若珍宝。由此他劝人：只要条件允许，哪怕牺牲一些也要环球旅行。因为只走一段，印象零碎；绕完一圈，各地才能拼成完整图景，你会看到人类无论身在何处，都在朝同一个归宿努力。
上下文
卡内基是19世纪美国钢铁大王，晚年写自传回忆旅行与阅读。他刚结束印度之行，读到埃德温·阿诺德的长诗《亚洲之光》。
今日一问
如果现在规划一次长途旅行，你愿意为它牺牲什么？
