安德鲁·卡内基:安德鲁·卡内基自传·补录 372

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

I was at the ranch for a week and saw a good deal of McLuckie in the evenings. When I left there, I went directly to Tucson, Arizona, and from there I had occasion to write to Mr. Carnegie, and in the letter I told him about meeting with McLuckie. I added that I felt very sorry for the man and thought he had been treated rather badly. Mr. Carnegie answered at once, and on the margin of the letter wrote in lead pencil: "Give McLuckie all the money he wants, but don't mention my name." I wrote to McLuckie immediately, offering him what money he needed, mentioning no sum, but giving him to understand that it would be sufficient to put him on his feet again. He declined it. He said he would fight it out and make his own way, which was the right-enough American spirit. I could not help but admire it in him.

白话

作者在牧场一周,晚上常与麦克拉基交谈。离开后写信告诉卡内基遇到麦克拉基,并说觉得他受到不公待遇。卡内基回信在页边用铅笔写:“给麦克拉基他需要的所有钱,但别 mention 我的名字。”作者立即写信给麦克拉基,表示愿提供足够资金帮他重新站起来,不设上限。但麦克拉基拒绝了,说要自己奋斗,作者欣赏这种美国精神。核心是:慷慨援助与个人尊严的冲突。做法是:帮助他人时尊重其自主选择。

上下文

卡内基自传中,作者写信给卡内基,卡内基匿名资助麦克拉基,但被拒绝。

今日一问

当你试图帮助一个人时,是否尊重他拒绝帮助、自力更生的权利?
