P.T. 巴纳姆：奋斗与胜利·补录 186
P.T. 巴纳姆《奋斗与胜利》· Struggles and Triumphs · 领导
Before taking the little General and party to Paris, I went over alone to arrange the preliminaries for our campaign in that city. Paris was not altogether a strange place to me. Months before, when I had successfully established my exhibition in London, I ran over to Paris to see what I could pick up in the way of curiosities for my Museum in New York, for during my whole sojourn abroad, and amid all the excitements of my new career, I never forgot the interests of my many and generous patrons at home. The occasion which first called me to France was the “quinquennial exposition” in Paris. At that time, there was an assemblage, every five years, of inventors and manufacturers who exhibited specimens of their skill, especially in articles of curious and ingenious mechanism, and I went from London mainly to attend this exposition.

白话
去巴黎前，巴纳姆独自先去安排前期事宜。巴黎对他不陌生，几个月前他在伦敦办展览成功后，就跑去巴黎为纽约博物馆淘新奇展品。他出国期间一直没忘家乡的顾客。最初去法国是因为巴黎每五年一次的博览会，发明家和制造商展示精巧机械。他从伦敦专程去参观。这说明扩张前要先踩点、找货源，并始终惦记老客户，把新资源反哺原有生意。
