塞缪尔·斯迈尔斯：节俭·摘录 400
塞缪尔·斯迈尔斯《节俭》· Thrift · 投资
The New Eagley Mills being situated in a narrow valley, several miles from Bolton, and the property being in the possession of the owners, they forbade the opening of any tavern or beerhouse on the estate; so that the district became distinguished for the order and sobriety of the inhabitants. A man of intemperate habits has little chance of remaining in the Ashworth villages. He is expelled, not by the employers, but by the men themselves. He must conform to the sober habits of the place, or decamp to some larger town, where his vices may be hidden in the crowd. Many of the parents have expressed how much gratification they have felt, that by reason of the isolated situation they enjoyed as a community, they had become so completely separated from the corrupt influences of music saloons and drink-shops.

白话
新伊格利工厂位于狭窄山谷，离博尔顿几英里，厂主拥有地产，因此禁止在区域内开酒馆或啤酒屋。结果这个社区以秩序和清醒闻名。酗酒的人很难留下，不是雇主赶他走，而是工人们自己排斥他。他要么适应清醒的习惯，要么搬到大城市把恶习藏在人群里。许多父母很满意，因为社区偏僻，反而完全远离了音乐厅和酒馆的腐蚀。这说明环境对习惯养成影响巨大，主动隔离诱惑能帮助人保持节俭。
