布克·T·华盛顿:力争上游·摘录 288

布克·T·华盛顿《力争上游》· Up from Slavery · 领导

The thing in my life which brings me the keenest regret is that my work in connection with public affairs keeps me for so much of the time away from my family, where, of all places in the world, I delight to be. I always envy the individual whose life-work is so laid that he can spend his evenings at home. I have sometimes thought that people who have this rare privilege do not appreciate it as they should. It is such a rest and relief to get away from crowds of people, and handshaking, and travelling, to get home, even if it be for but a very brief while.

白话

我生活中最让我深感遗憾的事,就是由于参与公共事务,我常常不得不离开家人,而家庭是我在世界上最愿意待的地方。我总是羡慕那些工作安排得能在家过夜的人。我有时想,拥有这种难得特权的人可能没有好好珍惜。远离人群、握手和旅行,回到家里,哪怕只是很短的时间,也是一种休息和解脱。这段话透露出作者对家庭的珍视,以及公共责任与私人生活之间的冲突。他提醒我们,能在家过夜是一种值得感恩的特权。
