布克·T·华盛顿：力争上游·摘录 300
布克·T·华盛顿《力争上游》· Up from Slavery · 领导
When the Englishman takes you into his heart and friendship, he binds you there as with cords of steel, and I do not believe that there are many other friendships that are so lasting or so satisfactory. Perhaps I can illustrate this point in no better way than by relating the following incident. Mrs. Washington and I were invited to attend a reception given by the Duke and Duchess of Sutherland, at Stafford House—said to be the finest house in London; I may add that I believe the Duchess of Sutherland is said to be the most beautiful woman in England. There must have been at least three hundred persons at this reception. Twice during the evening the Duchess sought us out for a conversation, and she asked me to write her when we got home, and tell her more about the work at Tuskegee. This I did. When Christmas came we were surprised and delighted to receive her photograph with her autograph on it. The correspondence has continued, and we now feel that in the Duchess of Sutherland we have one of our warmest friends.

白话
华盛顿说英国人一旦把你当朋友，友谊就牢固持久。他举例：萨瑟兰公爵夫妇在伦敦大宅办招待会，公爵夫人两次找他们交谈，还请他回家后写信介绍塔斯基吉工作。他照做后，圣诞节收到公爵夫人签名照片，通信持续，成为温暖朋友。核心是：真诚的友谊需要主动维系。做法是：对值得的人，主动写信、保持联系。
