P.T. 巴纳姆:奋斗与胜利·补录 187

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

There I met and became well acquainted with Robert Houdin, the celebrated conjurer. He was a watchmaker by trade, but very soon displayed a wonderful ability and ingenuity which he devoted with so much assiduity to the construction of a complicated machine, that he lost all mental power for a considerable period. When he recovered, he employed himself with great success in the manufacture of mechanical toys and automata which attracted much attention, and afterwards he visited Great Britain and other countries, giving a series of juggling exhibitions which were famous throughout Europe.

白话

巴纳姆在博览会上结识了著名魔术师罗伯特·乌丹。乌丹本是钟表匠,很快展现出惊人才能,他专心造复杂机器,结果一度精神崩溃。恢复后他制作机械玩具和自动人偶,大受欢迎,后来去英国等地表演魔术,闻名欧洲。这说明专注是好事,但过度投入可能伤身;把技艺转化为可展示的产品,才能持续发展。
