P.T. 巴纳姆:奋斗与胜利·补录 181

P.T. 巴纳姆《奋斗与胜利》· Struggles and Triumphs · 领导

On our second visit to the Queen, we were received in what is called the “Yellow Drawing-Room,” a magnificent apartment, surpassing in splendor and gorgeousness anything of the kind I had ever seen. It is on the north side of the gallery, and is entered from that apartment. It was hung with drapery of rich yellow satin damask, the couches, sofas and chairs being covered with the same material. The vases, urns and ornaments were all of modern patterns, and the most exquisite workmanship. The room was panelled in gold, and the heavy cornices beautifully carved and gilt. The tables, pianos, etc., were mounted with gold, inlaid with pearl of various hues, and of the most elegant designs.

白话

巴纳姆第二次觐见女王时,被安排在“黄色客厅”接待。他极力形容这个房间的奢华:黄色缎锦的帷幔和家具、金色护墙板、精美雕刻的镀金檐口,桌上和钢琴上都镶着金子和各色珍珠。巴纳姆用这些细节来衬托王室的气派,也暗示自己见多识广。对我们来说,这段描写提醒我们:环境布置能传递强烈的身份信号,但真正让人记住的,还是你在这个环境里做了什么、说了什么。

上下文

巴纳姆在自传中详细描写白金汉宫黄色客厅的奢华装饰,以显示自己曾进入英国王室的核心社交圈。

今日一问

你最近一次被环境震撼是什么时候?那个环境让你更关注自己,还是更关注周围的人和事?
