安德鲁·卡内基：安德鲁·卡内基自传·补录 503
安德鲁·卡内基《安德鲁·卡内基自传》· Autobiography of Andrew Carnegie · 领导
Mr. Morley (although a lord he still remains as an author plain John Morley) became one of our British friends quite early as editor of the "Fortnightly Review," which published my first contribution to a British periodical.[67] The friendship has widened and deepened in our old age until we mutually confess we are very close friends to each other.[68] We usually exchange short notes (sometimes long ones) on Sunday afternoons as the spirit moves us. We are not alike; far from it. We are drawn together because opposites are mutually beneficial to each other. I am optimistic; all my ducks being swans. He is pessimistic, looking out soberly, even darkly, upon the real dangers ahead, and sometimes imagining vain things. He is inclined to see "an officer in every bush." The world seems bright to me, and earth is often a real heaven--so happy I am and so thankful to the kind fates. Morley is seldom if ever wild about anything; his judgment is always deliberate and his eyes are ever seeing the spots on the sun.

白话
莫利先生（虽是勋爵，但仍以作家身份署名约翰·莫利）早年任《双周评论》编辑时就成了我们的英国朋友，该刊发表了我给英国期刊的第一篇投稿。友谊在我们晚年加深，直到彼此承认是非常亲密的朋友。我们常在周日下午随兴交换短笺（有时长信）。我们并不相似，恰恰相反，正因相反才互相受益。我乐观，把鸭子都看成天鹅；他悲观，冷静甚至阴暗地看待前方的真实危险，有时想象出不存在的事，倾向于“每丛灌木里都有军官”。世界对我来说是明亮的，地球常是真正的天堂——我如此快乐，如此感激命运。莫利很少狂热，判断总是深思熟虑，眼睛总看到太阳上的黑子。
