塞缪尔·斯迈尔斯:节俭·摘录 411

塞缪尔·斯迈尔斯《节俭》· Thrift · 投资

On the opening day, Mr. Salt dined three thousand five hundred persons in the combing shed. At the dinner, he said: "I cannot look around me, and see this vast assemblage of friends and workpeople, without being moved. I feel greatly honoured by the presence of the nobleman at my side. I am especially delighted at the presence of my workpeople.... I hope to draw around me a population that will enjoy the beauties of this neighbourhood,--a population of well-paid, contented, happy operatives. I have given instructions to my architects that nothing is to be spared to render the dwellings of the operatives a pattern to the country; and if my life is spared by Divine Providence, I hope to see satisfaction, contentment, and happiness around me."

白话

开业那天,索尔特在精梳车间请三千五百人吃饭。他说:看到这么多朋友和工人,我很感动。身边有贵族光临,我很荣幸,尤其高兴工人们在场。我希望吸引来的人能享受这地方的美景,成为工资好、满足、快乐的工人。我已指示建筑师,工人住宅要成为全国样板,不能省钱。若上帝保佑,我希望看到周围都是满意、满足和幸福。
