布克·T·华盛顿:力争上游·摘录 232

布克·T·华盛顿《力争上游》· Up from Slavery · 领导

The papers, North and South, had taken up the discussion of my coming speech, and as the time for it drew near this discussion became more and more widespread. Not a few of the Southern white papers were unfriendly to the idea of my speaking. From my own race I received many suggestions as to what I ought to say. I prepared myself as best I could for the address, but as the eighteenth of September drew nearer, the heavier my heart became, and the more I feared that my effort would prove a failure and a disappointment.

白话

南北报纸都在讨论华盛顿即将发表的演讲,越临近越热闹。不少南方白人报纸反对他演讲,黑人同胞也给他很多建议。他尽力准备,但9月18日越近,心情越沉重,担心演讲失败让人失望。这说明:重大场合前,外界议论和期待会加重压力,但准备和倾听建议是必要的,同时要接受可能失败的风险,不被恐惧压垮。

上下文

1895年亚特兰大博览会演讲前,美国南北媒体广泛关注,种族关系紧张,华盛顿承受巨大压力。

今日一问

你面对重要场合时,如何区分有用建议和外界噪音,稳住自己的心?
