布克·T·华盛顿:力争上游·摘录 273

布克·T·华盛顿《力争上游》· Up from Slavery · 领导

The part of the speech which seems to arouse the wildest and most sensational enthusiasm was that in which I thanked the President for his recognition of the Negro in his appointments during the Spanish-American war. The President was sitting in a box at the right of the stage. When I addressed him I turned toward the box, and as I finished the sentence thanking him for his generosity, the whole audience rose and cheered again and again, waving handkerchiefs and hats and canes, until the President arose in the box and bowed his acknowledgements. At that the enthusiasm broke out again, and the demonstration was almost indescribable.

白话

华盛顿在演讲中感谢总统在美西战争期间对黑人的认可,这引发了全场最热烈的欢呼。他转向总统所在的包厢致谢,观众起立挥舞手帕、帽子和手杖,直到总统起身鞠躬回应,欢呼再次爆发。这说明公开肯定当权者对少数族裔的认可,能激发群体强烈的归属感和希望。今天,领导者公开承认边缘群体的贡献,往往比私下安慰更能凝聚人心;但也要注意,这种认可若流于形式,反而会加深失望。

上下文

布克·T·华盛顿是19世纪末美国黑人教育家,他在自传《超越奴役》中回忆自己因在亚特兰大博览会演讲而声名鹊起,此处描述他在芝加哥演讲时感谢麦金莱总统的场景。

今日一问

你所在的团体中,谁需要被公开肯定?你可以怎样具体地表达这种认可?
