布克·T·华盛顿《力争上游》· Up from Slavery · 领导
In Bristol, England, both Mrs. Washington and I spoke at the Women’s Liberal Club. I was also the principal speaker at the Commencement exercises of the Royal College for the Blind. These exercises were held in the Crystal Palace, and the presiding officer was the late Duke of Westminster, who was said to be, I believe, the richest man in England, if not in the world. The Duke, as well as his wife and their daughter, seemed to be pleased with what I said, and thanked me heartily. Through the kindness of Lady Aberdeen, my wife and I were enabled to go with a party of those who were attending the International Congress of Women, then in session in London, to see Queen Victoria, at Windsor Castle, where, afterward, we were all the guests of her Majesty at tea. In our party was Miss Susan B. Anthony, and I was deeply impressed with the fact that one did not often get an opportunity to see, during the same hour, two women so remarkable in different ways as Susan B. Anthony and Queen Victoria.

白话
在英国布里斯托尔，华盛顿夫妇在妇女自由俱乐部演讲。他还为皇家盲人学院毕业典礼做主要演讲，地点在水晶宫，主持人是已故威斯敏斯特公爵，据说是英国甚至世界最富有的人。公爵夫妇和女儿似乎很喜欢他的讲话，衷心感谢他。通过阿伯丁夫人的好意，他们随国际妇女大会的代表团去温莎堡见维多利亚女王，之后女王请他们喝茶。同行有苏珊·B·安东尼。华盛顿深感，同一小时里见到安东尼和女王两位如此杰出的女性，机会难得。这说明：跨文化交流能打开意想不到的机会。
