布克·T·华盛顿:力争上游·摘录 308

布克·T·华盛顿《力争上游》· Up from Slavery · 领导

This was a recognition that had never in the slightest manner entered into my mind, and it was hard for me to realize that I was to be honoured by a degree from the oldest and most renowned university in America. As I sat upon my veranda, with this letter in my hand, tears came into my eyes. My whole former life—my life as a slave on the plantation, my work in the coal-mine, the times when I was without food and clothing, when I made my bed under a sidewalk, my struggles for an education, the trying days I had had at Tuskegee, days when I did not know where to turn for a dollar to continue the work there, the ostracism and sometimes oppression of my race,—all this passed before me and nearly overcame me.

白话

华盛顿说,这种认可他从未想过,很难相信自己会被美国最古老、最著名的大学授予学位。他坐在阳台上拿着信,眼泪涌出。过去一生在眼前闪过:种植园里的奴隶生活、煤矿做工、缺衣少食、在人行道下铺床睡觉、为求学挣扎、在塔斯基吉艰难的日子、不知道去哪里找一美元维持工作、种族被排斥甚至压迫——这一切几乎把他压垮。核心是:巨大荣誉会把人拉回全部来路,让人同时感到感激和沉重。

上下文

《超越奴役》中,华盛顿收到哈佛荣誉学位邀请信后,在阳台上回忆往事的片段。

今日一问

当你取得一点成绩时,会不会停下来回看自己走过的路,并记住那些艰难?
