安德鲁·卡内基:安德鲁·卡内基自传·补录 449

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

I became interested in the Peace Society of Great Britain upon one of my early visits and attended many of its meetings, and in later days I was especially drawn to the Parliamentary Union established by Mr. Cremer, the famous working-man's representative in Parliament. Few men living can be compared to Mr. Cremer. When he received the Nobel Prize of £8000 as the one who had done the most that year for peace, he promptly gave all but £1000, needed for pressing wants, to the Arbitration Committee. It was a noble sacrifice. What is money but dross to the true hero! Mr. Cremer is paid a few dollars a week by his trade to enable him to exist in London as their member of Parliament, and here was fortune thrown in his lap only to be devoted by him to the cause of peace. This is the heroic in its finest form.

白话

我在早期访问英国时对英国和平协会产生兴趣,参加许多会议,后来尤其被克里默先生建立的议会联盟吸引。克里默是著名的工人代表。在世的人很少能与他相比。当他因当年为和平贡献最大而获得诺贝尔奖8000英镑时,他立即把除1000英镑(急需)外的全部捐给仲裁委员会。这是高尚的牺牲。对真正的英雄来说,金钱算什么!克里默先生每周只从行业得到几美元,以维持他在伦敦作为议员的生活,而命运抛给他的财富,他全用于和平事业。这是最高形式的英雄主义。核心是:真正的英雄主义在于为崇高事业牺牲个人利益。

上下文

威廉·克里默是英国工人运动领袖、和平主义者,曾获1903年诺贝尔和平奖,卡内基与他有交往。
