P.T. 巴纳姆《奋斗与胜利》· Struggles and Triumphs · 领导

“Ah! Mr. Barnum,” she replied, “that is very true, and it would be ungrateful in me to not continue to use for the benefit of the poor and lowly, that gift which our kind Heavenly Father has so graciously bestowed upon me. Yes, I will continue to sing so long as my voice lasts, but it will be mostly for charitable objects, for I am thankful to say I have all the money which I shall ever need.” Pursuant to this resolution, the larger portion of the concerts which this noble lady has given since her return to Europe, have been for objects of benevolence.

白话

珍妮回答:“啊,巴纳姆先生,你说得很对。如果我不继续用上天慷慨赐予我的天赋为穷苦卑微的人谋福利,那就是忘恩负义。是的,只要嗓子还行,我就会继续唱,但主要是为了慈善,因为谢天谢地,我需要的钱已经够了。”她回到欧洲后,大部分音乐会确实都用于慈善。这说明,当人不再为钱发愁时,把才能转向公益,既能利他,也能让自己获得更深层的满足。

上下文

珍妮·林德在告别时接受巴纳姆的建议,后来在欧洲实践了慈善演唱的承诺。

今日一问

如果你已经够用,你愿意把多少时间和才能用于公益?
