塞缪尔·斯迈尔斯:节俭·摘录 343

塞缪尔·斯迈尔斯《节俭》· Thrift · 投资

A man may be disposed to save money, and lay it by for sickness or for other purposes; but he cannot do this unless his wife lets him, or helps him. A prudent, frugal, thrifty woman is a crown of glory to her husband. She helps him in all his good resolutions; she may, by quiet and gentle encouragement, bring out his better qualities; and by her example she may implant in him noble principles, which are the seeds of the highest practical virtues.

白话

一个人可能想存钱,以备生病或其他不时之需,但除非妻子允许或帮忙,否则他做不到。一个谨慎、节俭、会持家的女人是丈夫的荣耀冠冕。她帮助他实现所有好的决心;通过安静而温柔的鼓励,她可能激发出他更好的品质;通过她的榜样,她可能在他心中植入高尚的原则,而这些原则是最高实践美德的种子。

上下文

塞缪尔·斯迈尔斯是19世纪英国作家,著有《自助》《节俭》等书,宣扬勤劳节俭的价值观。这段话出自《节俭》一书,讨论家庭中妻子对丈夫储蓄习惯的影响。
