布克·T·华盛顿:力争上游·摘录 75

布克·T·华盛顿《力争上游》· Up from Slavery · 领导

My day and night school work was not all that I undertook. I established a small reading-room and a debating society. On Sundays I taught two Sunday-schools, one in the town of Malden in the afternoon, and the other in the morning at a place three miles distant from Malden. In addition to this, I gave private lessons to several young men whom I was fitting to send to the Hampton Institute. Without regard to pay and with little thought of it, I taught any one who wanted to learn anything that I could teach him. I was supremely happy in the opportunity of being able to assist somebody else. I did receive, however, a small salary from the public fund, for my work as a public-school teacher.

白话

华盛顿在马尔登教书时,白天教日校,晚上教夜校,还额外办了小阅览室和辩论社。星期天他跑两个主日学:上午去三英里外的地方,下午回镇上。他还给几个想考汉普顿学院的年轻人补课。他教人几乎不计报酬,只要有人想学、他能教,就愿意教,并因此感到极大的快乐。他唯一固定的收入是公共基金发的小额薪水。这说明他把教育当成互助和社区建设,而不是单纯谋生;做法是先满足身边最迫切的学习需求,再逐步扩大影响。

上下文

布克·T·华盛顿在自传《超越奴役》中回忆青年时代在马尔登教书的日子,那时他刚获得自由不久。

今日一问

你身边有哪些人想学东西却缺机会,你能不计报酬地教他们什么?
