My first decoration then came unexpectedly. The French Government had made me Knight Commander of the Legion of Honor, and at the Peace Banquet in New York, over which I presided, Baron d'Estournelles de Constant appeared upon the stage and in a compelling speech invested me with the regalia amid the cheers of the company. It was a great honor, indeed, and appreciated by me because given for my services to the cause of International Peace. Such honors humble, they do not exalt; so let them come.[59] They serve also to remind me that I must strive harder than ever, and watch every act and word more closely, that I may reach just a little nearer the standard the givers--deluded souls--mistakenly assume in their speeches, that I have already attained.

白话

卡内基的第一枚勋章来得意外:法国政府授予他荣誉军团骑士司令勋章,在纽约和平宴会上,德斯特内尔·德·康斯坦男爵当众为他佩戴,全场欢呼。他很珍视,因为这是对他推动国际和平的认可。但他认为这类荣誉让人谦卑而非自傲,提醒自己要更努力,更严格地检点言行,好稍微接近授勋者演讲中误以为他已达到的标准。核心是:荣誉不是终点,而是自我鞭策的提醒。做法上,把表扬当作校准行动的标准,而不是自我陶醉的资本。

上下文

卡内基在自传中回忆因推动国际和平而获法国荣誉军团勋章,并谈到自己对荣誉的态度。

今日一问

最近一次被表扬后,你是更自满,还是更认真检点自己的言行?
