安德鲁·卡内基：安德鲁·卡内基自传·补录 63
安德鲁·卡内基《安德鲁·卡内基自传》· Autobiography of Andrew Carnegie · 领导
This is but a slight tribute and gives only a faint idea of the depth of gratitude which I feel for what he did for me and my companions. It was from my own early experience that I decided there was no use to which money could be applied so productive of good to boys and girls who have good within them and ability and ambition to develop it, as the founding of a public library in a community which is willing to support it as a municipal institution. I am sure that the future of those libraries I have been privileged to found will prove the correctness of this opinion. For if one boy in each library district, by having access to one of these libraries, is half as much benefited as I was by having access to Colonel Anderson's four hundred well-worn volumes, I shall consider they have not been established in vain.

白话
这只是一点小小的敬意，远不能表达我对安德森上校为我及同伴所做一切的深深感激。正是从自己的早年经历中，我断定：对于内心有善、有能力且有抱负去发展的男孩女孩来说，把钱用在社区公共图书馆上——只要社区愿意把它作为市政机构来支持——最能产生好处。我相信我有幸创办的那些图书馆的未来会证明这个看法正确。因为如果每个图书馆区有一个男孩，因接触图书馆而获得我当年接触安德森上校四百本旧书所得益处的一半，我就认为它们没有白建。
上下文
卡内基在自传中感谢安德森上校当年开放私人藏书，并解释自己后来捐建图书馆的动机。
