布克·T·华盛顿:力争上游·摘录 218

布克·T·华盛顿《力争上游》· Up from Slavery · 领导

While pursuing this policy I have not failed, at the proper time and in the proper manner, to call attention, in no uncertain terms, to the wrongs which any part of the South has been guilty of. I have found that there is a large element in the South that is quick to respond to straightforward, honest criticism of any wrong policy. As a rule, the place to criticise the South, when criticism is necessary, is in the South—not in Boston. A Boston man who came to Alabama to criticise Boston would not effect so much good, I think, as one who had his word of criticism to say in Boston.

白话

坚持这个原则的同时,该说的时候、用该有的方式,我也毫不含糊地指出南方任何地方犯下的错误。我发现南方有很大一部分人,对直率诚实的批评反应很快。一般来说,需要批评南方时,合适的地点是在南方,而不是波士顿。一个跑到阿拉巴马去批评波士顿的人,效果不如在波士顿本地批评的人。核心是:批评要讲场合和分寸,就地直言比远处指责更有效。

上下文

布克·T·华盛顿《超越奴役》,说明他批评南方错误时所把握的时机与地点。

今日一问

你要提意见时,是否选对了场合?能不能当面、就地、具体地说,而不是背后指责?
