塞缪尔·斯迈尔斯:自助论·摘录 79

塞缪尔·斯迈尔斯《自助论》· Self-Help · 领导

Thus Palissy occupied about ten more years of his life, after which he married, and ceased from his wanderings, settling down to practise glass-painting and land-measuring at the small town of Saintes, in the Lower Charente. There children were born to him; and not only his responsibilities but his expenses increased, while, do what he could, his earnings remained too small for his needs. It was therefore necessary for him to bestir himself. Probably he felt capable of better things than drudging in an employment so precarious as glass-painting; and hence he was induced to turn his attention to the kindred art of painting and enamelling earthenware. Yet on this subject he was wholly ignorant; for he had never seen earth baked before he began his operations. He had therefore everything to learn by himself, without any helper. But he was full of hope, eager to learn, of unbounded perseverance and inexhaustible patience.

白话

帕利西又漂泊了大约十年,然后结婚,停止流浪,在圣特小城定居,从事玻璃彩绘和土地测量。孩子出生后,责任和开销都增加了,但收入总是不够用。他必须想办法改变。他可能觉得自己有能力做更好的事,不愿困在朝不保夕的玻璃彩绘上,于是转向相近的陶瓷绘画和上釉技术。但他对此完全无知,开始前连烧制的陶器都没见过,只能独自从头学起。尽管困难重重,他仍充满希望,渴望学习,有无限的毅力和耐心。
