布克·T·华盛顿《力争上游》· Up from Slavery · 领导

I confess that the securing of this money in this way was a great surprise to me, as well as a source of gratification. Up to that time I never had had in my possession so much money as one hundred dollars at a time, and the loan which I had asked General Marshall for seemed a tremendously large sum to me. The fact of my being responsible for the repaying of such a large amount of money weighed very heavily upon me.

白话

钱借到了,华盛顿又惊又喜。他此前从未一次拥有过一百美元,二百五十美元对他简直是天文数字,想到要还这笔巨款,压力沉重。这段坦白说明:对穷人来说,一笔在别人眼里不大的钱,也是巨大的心理负担。但正是这种责任感,让他谨慎用钱、努力还款。借钱不可怕,可怕的是没有还钱的意识和计划。

上下文

马歇尔将军答应以私人资金借给华盛顿二百五十美元后,华盛顿在自传中回忆当时的心情。

今日一问

你借过或借出过钱吗?当时有没有把还款责任和计划说清楚?
