"I have no wish to play the pontificating fool, pretending that I've suddenly come up with the answers to all life's questions. Quite that contrary, I began this book as an exploration, an exercise in self-questing. In other words, I wanted to find out, as I looked back at a long and complicated life, with many twists and turns, how well I've done at measuring up to the values I myself have set." —Sidney Poitier

In this luminous memoir, a true American icon looks back on his celebrated life and career. His body of work is arguably the most morally significant in cinematic history, and the power and influence of that work are indicative of the character of the man behind the many storied roles. Sidney Poitier here explores these elements of character and personal values to take his own measure: as a man, as a husband and a father, and as an actor.

Poitier credits his parents and his childhood on tiny Cat Island in the Bahamas for equipping him with the unflinching sense of right and wrong and of self-worth that he has never surrendered and that have dramatically shaped his world. Without television, radio, and material distractions to obscure what matters most, he could enjoy the simple things, endure the long commitments, and find true meaning in his life.

Poitier was uncompromising as he pursued a personal and public life that would honor his upbringing and the invaluable legacy of his parents. Just a few years after his introduction to indoor plumbing and the automobile, Poitier broke racial barrier after racial barrier to launch a pioneering acting career. Committed to the notion that what one does for a living articulates who one is, Poitier played only forceful and affecting characters who said something positive, useful, and lasting about the human condition.

Here is Poitier's own introspective look at what has informed his performances and his life. Poitier explores the nature of sacrifice and commitment, price and humility, rage and forgiveness, and paying the price for artistic integrity. What emerges is a picture of a man in the face of limits - his own and the world's. A triumph of the spirit, The Measure of a Man captures the essential Poitier.

我无意做一个喋喋不休的傻子，假装自己突然找到了所有人生问题的答案。相反，我开始这本书是为了探索，在审视过漫长而复杂的生命经历和其中许多转折之后，作为一名寻求者是如何衡量自己的生活是否达到了我自己设定的价值标准。

——西德尼·波蒂尔

在这篇辉煌自传中，一位真正的美国偶像回顾了他备受赞誉的一生与事业。他的作品在电影史上可能是最具道德意义的作品之一，并且这种作品的力量和影响力反映了他在众多传奇角色背后的人物性格特征。西德尼·波蒂尔在这里探索这些性格特征和个人价值观，以此来衡量自己：作为一名男人、一位丈夫和一个父亲，以及一名演员。

波蒂尔将父母及其在巴哈马小猫岛上度过的童年经验视为赋予他坚定不移的是非观和自我价值感的源泉，而这种坚持从未改变，并且极大地塑造了他的世界观。没有电视、广播和物质上的分散注意力来掩盖最重要之事，在无法享受简单事物的情况下，他也能忍受长久承诺，并在生活中发现真正的意义。

波蒂尔在追求个人与公众生活的同时保持了一种无妥协的姿态，这些生活都尊重他的养育以及父母留下的宝贵遗产。就在介绍室内管道和汽车不到几年之后，波蒂尔打破了种族界限，创立了一代先锋演员事业。坚定地认为一个人所从事的职业反映了其自我认同感，波蒂尔只选择扮演那些有力且具有影响的人物，并为人类条件带来某种积极、实用和持久的意义。

这是波蒂尔对自己表演艺术与生活的影响进行独到思考的方式。波蒂尔探索牺牲与承诺的本质，价格与谦卑，愤怒与宽恕，以及维护艺术真诚性的代价。所显现的是一位面对界限——自己和世界的男子形象。这种精神胜利了，《男人的价值》捕捉到了西德尼·波蒂尔本质的核心。
