For Rockefeller and Carnegie, Morgan's passing is a reminder-- time is running short and the realization triggers a new contest.

對洛克菲勒和卡內(nèi)基來講 摩根的去世敲響了警鐘 提醒他們時間不多了 意識到這點 新的較量也隨之開始

No longer is their competition about who makes more money, now the question is who can give more away.

現(xiàn)在他們比的不是誰賺的錢多 而是誰捐的錢多了

Andrew Carnegie was the first of the big capitalists of this era to be bitten by the philanthropy bug.
