布克·T·华盛顿：力争上游·摘录 207
布克·T·华盛顿《力争上游》· Up from Slavery · 领导
Soon after beginning our third year’s work we were surprised to receive money from three special sources, and up to the present time we have continued to receive help from them. First, the State Legislature of Alabama increased its annual appropriation from two thousand dollars to three thousand dollars; I might add that still later it increased this sum to four thousand five hundred dollars a year. The effort to secure this increase was led by the Hon. M.F. Foster, the member of the Legislature from Tuskegee. Second, we received one thousand dollars from the John F. Slater Fund. Our work seemed to please the trustees of this fund, as they soon began increasing their annual grant. This has been added to from time to time until at present we receive eleven thousand dollars annually from the Fund. The other help to which I have referred came in the shape of an allowance from the Peabody Fund. This was at first five hundred dollars, but it has since been increased to fifteen hundred dollars.

白话
学校办到第三年时，意外收到三笔钱，而且后来一直没断。第一笔是阿拉巴马州议会把每年拨款从两千美元提到三千，后来又涨到四千五，推动这事的是塔斯基吉选出的议员福斯特。第二笔是斯莱特基金给的一千美元，他们觉得我们干得好，就逐年加钱，现在一年给一万一千。第三笔是皮博迪基金，起初五百，后来加到一千五。这说明：把事做实、做出样子，钱会自己找上门；同时要主动争取，像福斯特那样在议会里替学校说话。

今日一问
你手头的事，有没有做出让资助方愿意逐年加码的“样子”？
