安德鲁·卡内基:安德鲁·卡内基自传·补录 558

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

The Carnegie Institution of Washington, of which Hay was the chairman and a trustee from the start, received his endorsement and close attention, and much were we indebted to him for wise counsel. As a statesman he made his reputation in shorter time and with a surer touch than any one I know of. And it may be doubted if any public man ever had more deeply attached friends. One of his notes I have long kept. It would have been the most flattering of any to my literary vanity but for my knowledge of his most lovable nature and undue warmth for his friends. The world is poorer to me to-day as I write, since he has left it.

白话

卡内基说,华盛顿卡内基研究所从一开始就得到海伊的背书和密切关注,海伊是董事长兼董事,他的明智建议让大家受益良多。作为政治家,海伊成名比任何人更快、更稳;恐怕没有哪个公众人物能像他那样拥有如此深情的朋友。卡内基长期保存着海伊的一张便条,若不是深知海伊天性可爱、对朋友过分热情,这张便条本会是最能满足他文学虚荣心的赞美。写到这里,卡内基感叹:海伊离开后,世界对他而言变得更贫瘠了。核心是:真诚的友谊和明智的建议是无价之宝,要珍惜身边肯为你出力、给你忠告的朋友。

上下文

安德鲁·卡内基是19世纪末美国钢铁大王、慈善家,晚年写自传回忆一生交往的人物。这里追忆的是政治家约翰·海伊,曾任林肯秘书、国务卿。

今日一问

你身边有没有这样一位朋友:他的建议让你受益,他的热情让你感动?你最近一次向他表达感谢是什么时候?
