奥里森·斯威特·马登《向前进》· Pushing to the Front · 领导
There is a peculiar quality of superiority which comes from dealing with _realities_ that we do not find in the superficial city conditions. The life-giving oxygen, breathed in great inspirations through constant muscular effort, develops in the country boy much greater lung power than is developed in the city youth, and his outdoor work tends to build up a robust constitution. Plowing, hoeing, mowing, everything he does on the farm gives him vigor and strength. His muscles are harder, his flesh firmer, and his brain-fiber partakes of the same superior quality. He is constantly bottling up forces, storing up energy in his brain and muscles which later may be powerful factors in shaping the nation's destiny or which may furnish backbone to keep the ship of state from floundering on the rocks. This marvelous reserve power which he stores up in the country will come out in the successful banker, statesman, lawyer, merchant, or business man.

白话
有一种优越品质来自与真实事物打交道,这是肤浅的城市环境所没有的。在持续肌肉运动中大口呼吸的氧气,使乡下男孩的肺活量远大于城市青年,户外劳动也帮他练出强健体质。犁地、锄草、割草,农场的每样活都给他力量和活力。他的肌肉更硬,身体更结实,脑纤维也具备同样的优质。他不断在脑中和肌肉里储存力量与能量,这些日后可能成为塑造国家命运的强大因素,或成为支撑国家之船不触礁的脊梁。这种在乡村储存起来的惊人后备力量,会在成功的银行家、政治家、律师、商人或实业家身上展现出来。
上下文
马登在《奋力向前》中从生理和脑力角度论证乡村劳动如何积累“后备力量”,并转化为日后事业成功的资本。
今日一问
你日常的工作和锻炼,是在消耗自己,还是在为未来储存“后备力量”?
