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

Visiting the tapioca workers in the woods near Singapore, we found them busily engaged, the children running about stark naked, the parents clothed in the usual loose rags. Our party attracted great attention. We asked our guide to tell the people that we came from a country where the water in such a pond as that before us would become solid at this season of the year and we could walk upon it and that sometimes it would be so hard horses and wagons crossed wide rivers on the ice. They wondered and asked why we didn't come and live among them. They really were very happy.

白话

卡内基一行在新加坡附近林中看到做木薯粉的人:孩子光着身子跑,父母衣衫褴褛。他们请向导告诉当地人,自己来自一个地方,同样一池水到冬天会变硬,人能走上去,有时冰厚得马和车能过河。当地人听了很惊奇,问他们为什么不来一起住。卡内基说,他们其实很快乐。

上下文

这是卡内基环球旅行中的见闻,记录19世纪东南亚底层劳工的生活,以及不同地域的人对自然现象的惊奇。

今日一问

你能否不带优越感地去理解一种与你截然不同的生活?
