安德鲁·卡内基:安德鲁·卡内基自传·补录 540

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

The President took my arm and we promenaded the streets of Washington in the dusk for more than an hour, during which time the discussion was lively. I told him that he had appointed me a delegate to the Pan-American Conference, that he had assured the South-American delegates when they parted that he had given a military review in their honor to show them, not that we had an army, but rather that we had none and needed none, that we were the big brother in the family of republics, and that all disputes, if any arose, would be settled by peaceful arbitration. I was therefore surprised and grieved to find that he was now apparently taking a different course, threatening to resort to war in a paltry dispute with little Chili.

白话

卡内基陪总统在华盛顿街头散步,直言不讳地指出总统前后矛盾:之前对南美代表说美国没有军队也不需要军队,会以和平仲裁解决争端,现在却因与智利的小纠纷威胁开战。卡内基感到惊讶和痛心,因为他认为美国应做共和国家族中的老大哥,而不是恃强凌弱。核心是:承诺与行动要一致,大国对小国更应克制,用仲裁而非武力解决争端。

上下文

卡内基自传中回忆与美国总统哈里森的交谈,背景是19世纪末美国与智利的外交危机。
