To this he demurred, being a modest man, but I was inexorable. No excuse would be taken; he must come to oblige me. He did. I sat between them at dinner and enjoyed this meeting of extremes. Mr. Arnold became deeply interested in Mr. Shaw's way of putting things and liked his Western anecdotes, laughing more heartily than I had ever seen him do before. One incident after another was told from the experience of the lecturer, for Mr. Shaw had lectured for fifteen years in every place of ten thousand inhabitants or more in the United States.

白话

阿诺德对此表示犹豫,他是个谦逊的人,但我毫不让步。什么借口都不接受,他必须来给我这个面子。他来了。晚宴上我坐在他们两人中间,享受这场极端人物的会面。阿诺德对肖先生表达事情的方式深感兴趣,喜欢他那些西部轶事,笑得比我以前见过的任何时候都开心。肖先生讲了一个又一个亲身经历的故事,因为他曾在美国所有人口一万以上的地方演讲了十五年。这说明,把不同背景的人聚在一起,往往能碰撞出意想不到的火花。

上下文

卡内基自传中讲述他安排马修·阿诺德与演讲家肖先生见面,两人在晚宴上相谈甚欢。

今日一问

你能否主动创造一次机会,让两个背景迥异但都有趣的人认识一下?
