P.T. 巴纳姆：奋斗与胜利·补录 138
P.T. 巴纳姆《奋斗与胜利》· Struggles and Triumphs · 领导
In this excited state the Doctor would go upon the stage, dressed very neatly in a suit of black. Addressing a few pleasant words to the audience, he would then take a seat behind his little table, and with a broad smile covering his countenance would ask the audience to excuse him a few seconds, and he would appear as “Tabitha Twist,” a literary spinster of fifty-five. On these occasions I was usually behind the scenes, standing at one of the wings opposite the Doctor’s table, where I could see and hear all that occurred “behind the curtain.” The moment the Doctor was down behind the table, a wonderful change came over that smiling countenance.

白话
医生兴奋地走上舞台，穿着整洁的黑西装。他先对观众说几句客气话，然后坐在小桌子后面，满脸笑容地请观众稍等几秒，他要扮演“塔比莎·特威斯特”——一位五十五岁的文学老处女。巴纳姆通常站在幕布后的侧翼，能看清幕后的所有动静。医生一坐到桌子后面，那张笑脸就发生了奇妙的变化。这说明，优秀的表演者能在观众面前瞬间切换状态，而幕后的真实情绪往往与台前截然不同。
上下文
巴纳姆自传中描述一位医生在他博物馆舞台上表演变装秀，巴纳姆在幕后观察其快速变脸的过程。
