安德鲁·卡内基：安德鲁·卡内基自传·补录 65
安德鲁·卡内基《安德鲁·卡内基自传》· Autobiography of Andrew Carnegie · 领导
I have stated that it was the theater which first stimulated my love for Shakespeare. In my messenger days the old Pittsburgh Theater was in its glory under the charge of Mr. Foster. His telegraphic business was done free, and the telegraph operators were given free admission to the theater in return. This privilege extended in some degree also to the messengers, who, I fear, sometimes withheld telegrams that arrived for him in the late afternoon until they could be presented at the door of the theater in the evening, with the timid request that the messenger might be allowed to slip upstairs to the second tier--a request which was always granted. The boys exchanged duties to give each the coveted entrance in turn.

白话
卡内基说，是剧院先点燃了他对莎士比亚的热爱。他当电报信差时，匹兹堡老剧院正红火，剧院老板福斯特的电报业务免费，作为交换，电报员可以免费看戏，信差也沾了点光。有时信差会扣下傍晚到的电报，等到晚上去剧院门口，怯生生地请求让他溜上二楼看戏，这请求总被答应。孩子们还轮流交换差事，让每个人都能进去看。这说明，一点小小的便利和机灵，就能打开艺术的大门。
上下文
卡内基少年时在匹兹堡当电报信差，那是他接触戏剧和文学的起点。当时剧院与电报公司有互惠安排。
