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

At Cluny there is no night in June and we danced on the lawn in the bright twilight until late. Mrs. Blaine, Miss Dodge, Mr. Blaine, and other guests were trying to do the Scotch reel, and "whooping" like Highlanders. We were gay revelers during those two weeks. One night afterwards, at a dinner in our home in New York, chiefly made up of our Cluny visitors, Mr. Blaine told the company that he had discovered at Cluny what a real holiday was. "It is when the merest trifles become the most serious events of life."

白话

卡内基回忆在克鲁尼庄园的两周:六月的夜晚亮得像白天,大家在草坪上跳舞到很晚,布兰恩夫妇和客人们笨拙地学跳苏格兰里尔舞,像高地人一样吆喝。后来布兰恩在纽约的晚宴上说,他在克鲁尼明白了什么是真正的假期——当最微不足道的小事变成生活中最正经的大事时,那就是假期。意思是,度假的价值不在于去了多远、花了多少,而在于暂时放下正事,全心投入眼前的小乐趣。想休息得好,就别在假期里还惦记工作,认真去玩那些“没用”的小事。

今日一问

这个周末,你能否放下正事,认真投入一件“没用”的小事?
