安德鲁·卡内基：安德鲁·卡内基自传·补录 424
安德鲁·卡内基《安德鲁·卡内基自传》· Autobiography of Andrew Carnegie · 领导
My main object in writing now is to tell you how pleased His Majesty is with the working of the German Hero Fund. He is enthusiastic about it and spoke in most complimentary terms of your discernment, as well as your generosity in founding it. He did not believe it would fill so important a place as it is doing. He told me of several cases that are really touching, and which would otherwise have been wholly unprovided for. One was that of a young man who saved a boy from drowning and just as they were about to lift him out of the water, after passing up the child into a boat, his heart failed, and he sank. He left a lovely young wife and a little boy. She has already been helped by the Hero Fund to establish a little business from which she can make a living, and the education of the boy, who is very bright, will be looked after. This is but one example.

白话
卡内基写信告诉朋友，德国皇帝对德国英雄基金的运作非常满意，热情赞扬卡内基的远见和慷慨。皇帝原本没想到这基金能起这么大作用，还讲了几个感人案例。其中一个年轻人救起一个落水的男孩，把孩子送上船后，自己却因心脏衰竭沉入水中。他留下年轻的妻子和一个小男孩。英雄基金帮助遗孀开了一家小店，让她能谋生，还负责孩子未来的教育。卡内基说，这只是一个例子。
上下文
卡内基在自传中引用他写给友人的信，讲述德国英雄基金的实际效果和德皇的反馈。
