塞缪尔·斯迈尔斯:节俭·摘录 412
塞缪尔·斯迈尔斯《节俭》· Thrift · 投资
This promise has been amply fulfilled. Mr. Salt has been influenced throughout by his sense of duty and responsibility. When he was applied to by the French Government for information as to his factory, he replied: "What has been attempted at Saltaire arose from my own private feeling and judgment, without the most remote idea that it would be made the subject of public interest and inquiry." With respect to the factory itself, little need be said. The object of its construction is to save time in the process of production. Not a minute is lost in pushing the material from one department to another. Every horse-power of steam is made to do its utmost, every moment of time is economized, and the productive capabilities of the factory are thus greatly increased.

白话
这个承诺充分兑现了。索尔特始终受责任感和义务感驱使。法国政府来问工厂情况,他回答:索尔泰尔的做法出于我个人的感受和判断,从没想到会成为公众关注和询问的对象。工厂本身不必多说,建厂是为节省生产时间。材料从一个部门到另一个部门不浪费一分钟,每马力蒸汽都尽力,每一刻都节约,生产能力因此大增。
