塞缪尔·斯迈尔斯:自助论·摘录 142
塞缪尔·斯迈尔斯《自助论》· Self-Help · 领导
The divine fury of genius in which Cellini rushed to his kitchen and stripped it of its utensils for the purposes of his furnace, will remind the reader of the like act of Pallissy in breaking up his furniture for the purpose of baking his earthenware. Excepting, however, in their enthusiasm, no two men could be less alike in character. Cellini was an Ishmael against whom, according to his own account, every man’s hand was turned. But about his extraordinary skill as a workman, and his genius as an artist, there cannot be two opinions.

白话
切利尼冲进厨房把锅碗瓢盆全扔进炉子,这种“天才的疯狂”让人想起帕利西为了烧陶器砸掉家具。但两人除了热情相似,性格完全不同:切利尼像《圣经》里的以实玛利,按他自己的说法,人人都跟他作对;帕利西则温和得多。不过,对切利尼的手艺和艺术天才,没有人会有两种意见。作者想说的是:可以佩服一个人的才华,但不必连他的脾气一起学;成事需要热情,做人却可以选另一种方式。
上下文
斯迈尔斯把切利尼和法国陶艺家帕利西对比:两人都曾为作品砸家具,但性格一个暴烈、一个温和。
今日一问
你欣赏某个人的才华时,会不会不自觉地把他的坏脾气也一起模仿了?
