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

Arnold visited us in Scotland in 1887, and talking one day of sport he said he did not shoot, he could not kill anything that had wings and could soar in the clear blue sky; but, he added, he could not give up fishing--"the accessories are so delightful." He told of his happiness when a certain duke gave him a day's fishing twice or three times a year. I forget who the kind duke was, but there was something unsavory about him and mention was made of this. He was asked how he came to be upon intimate terms with such a man.

白话

1887年阿诺德到苏格兰拜访我们,聊到运动时他说自己不打猎,因为不忍心杀死任何有翅膀、能在蓝天翱翔的生灵;但他又说戒不掉钓鱼,因为钓鱼的周边体验太令人愉快了。他还讲起某位公爵每年给他两三次钓鱼机会,他有多高兴。我忘了那位公爵是谁,但那人名声不太好,有人就提到这一点,并问阿诺德怎么会跟这样的人关系密切。阿诺德笑着回答,我猜他心里有所保留。他本人并不势利,只是天生对所谓悠久家世一笑置之,因为通常那家世经不起推敲。

上下文

卡内基自传中回忆马修·阿诺德1887年访问苏格兰时的谈话,涉及阿诺德的钓鱼爱好和对贵族的态度。

今日一问

你是否也曾为了某种愉快的体验而容忍了合作对象的不完美?这值得吗?
