安德鲁·卡内基:安德鲁·卡内基自传·补录 362

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

My wife has long ago offered her thanks, with my own, for your most kind congratulations. But I do not forget that you have been suffering yourself from anxieties, and have been exposed to imputations in connection with your gallant efforts to direct rich men into a course of action more enlightened than that which they usually follow. I wish I could relieve you from these imputations of journalists, too often rash, conceited or censorious, rancorous, ill-natured. I wish to do the little, the very little, that is in my power, which is simply to say how sure I am that no one who knows you will be prompted by the unfortunate occurrences across the water (of which manifestly we cannot know the exact merits) to qualify in the slightest degree either his confidence in your generous views or his admiration of the good and great work you have already done.

白话

卡内基写信安慰一位因引导富人做更开明之事而遭受舆论指责的朋友。他先感谢对方夫妇的祝贺,然后表示理解对方正承受焦虑和记者的诽谤。他批评记者常常轻率、自负、苛刻、恶毒,并明确表态:自己虽能力有限,但一定要说一句公道话——所有认识对方的人,都不会因为海外发生的那些不幸事件(其真相显然无法确知)而丝毫降低对对方慷慨见解的信任和对对方善举的钦佩。这告诉我们,在朋友被误解时,公开表达信任本身就是一种有力的支持。
