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

Nothing could have given me such insight into local public life and patriotism in Britain as Freedom-taking, which otherwise might have become irksome. I felt myself so much at home among the city chiefs that the embarrassment of flags and crowds and people at the windows along our route was easily met as part of the duty of the day, and even the address of the chief magistrate usually furnished new phases of life upon which I could dwell. The lady mayoresses were delightful in all their pride and glory.

白话

卡内基说,参与“自由市”的市政活动让他深入了解英国地方公共生活和爱国精神,否则这些活动可能变得乏味。他觉得自己与城市首长们相处自如,因此面对旗帜、人群和沿途窗口的民众时,不再感到尴尬,而是视为当天职责的一部分。首席市长的致辞也常为他提供新的生活视角。市长夫人们则个个自豪而光彩照人,令人愉悦。

上下文

卡内基在自传中回忆自己担任苏格兰邓弗姆林市荣誉市民(Freedom-taking)的经历,时约19世纪末。
