安德鲁·卡内基:安德鲁·卡内基自传·补录 569
安德鲁·卡内基《安德鲁·卡内基自传》· Autobiography of Andrew Carnegie · 领导
"Yes, Your Majesty, so was I, and he lies buried in Dunfermline Abbey, in my native town. When a boy, I used to walk often around the towering square monument on the Abbey--one word on each block in big stone letters 'King Robert the Bruce'--with all the fervor of a Catholic counting his beads. But Bruce was much more than a king, Your Majesty, he was the leader of his people. And not the first; Wallace the man of the people comes first. Your Majesty, I now own King Malcolm's tower in Dunfermline[79]--he from whom you derive your precious heritage of Scottish blood. Perhaps you know the fine old ballad, 'Sir Patrick Spens.'

白话
德皇提到自己很钦佩苏格兰国王罗伯特·布鲁斯,卡内基回应说:我也钦佩他,他就葬在我家乡邓弗姆林的修道院。小时候我常绕着修道院广场上那座高塔转,每块石头上刻着大字“罗伯特国王布鲁斯”,我像天主教徒数念珠一样虔诚。但卡内基强调:布鲁斯不只是国王,更是人民的领袖;而且不是第一个,平民领袖华莱士才排第一。他还提醒德皇:自己现在拥有邓弗姆林的马尔科姆国王塔,那是德皇苏格兰血统的来源。可执行的做法是:谈论历史人物时,别只看头衔,要看他为谁做事。
上下文
卡内基自传中回忆与德皇威廉二世在基尔会面时的对话,两人都熟悉苏格兰历史。
今日一问
你敬佩一个人时,是看重他的头衔,还是看重他为谁做了什么?
