本杰明·富兰克林《本杰明·富兰克林自传》· The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin · 领导

These twenty parcels, well pack'd, were placed on as many horses, each parcel, with the horse, being intended as a present for one officer. They were very thankfully receiv'd, and the kindness acknowledg'd by letters to me from the colonels of both regiments, in the most grateful terms. The general, too, was highly satisfied with my conduct in procuring him the waggons, etc., and readily paid my account of disbursements, thanking me repeatedly, and requesting my farther assistance in sending provisions after him. I undertook this also, and was busily employ'd in it till we heard of his defeat, advancing for the service of my own money, upwards of one thousand pounds sterling, of which I sent him an account. It came to his hands, luckily for me, a few days before the battle, and he return'd me immediately an order on the paymaster for the round sum of one thousand pounds, leaving the remainder to the next account. I consider this payment as good luck, having never been able to obtain that remainder, of which more hereafter.

白话

二十个包裹打包好放在二十匹马上,每包连马送给一位军官。他们非常感谢,两团上校都写信致谢。将军对我为他搞到马车等非常满意,爽快报销我的垫付款,多次道谢,并请我继续协助送补给。我承担了,一直忙到听说他战败,垫付了自己一千多英镑,并寄去账目。幸运的是,账目在战前几天到他手里,他立即给我一张一千英镑的付款单,余款下次结。我认为这笔付款是运气好,因为余款一直没要回来。

上下文

富兰克林自传,他为布拉多克远征垫资并组织运输,战后部分款项未能收回。

今日一问

你在为公共事务垫资或出力时,是否提前设定了清晰的报销和风险边界?
