P.T. 巴纳姆:奋斗与胜利·补录 193

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

King Louis Philippe was so condescending and courteous that I felt quite at home in the royal presence, and ventured upon a bit of diplomacy. The Longchamps celebration was coming--a day once devoted to religious ceremony, but now conspicuous for the display of court and fashionable equipages in the Champs Élysées and the Bois de Boulogne, and as the King was familiarly conversing with me, I ventured to say that I had hurried over to Paris to take part in the Longchamps display and I asked him if the General’s carriage could not be permitted to appear in the avenue reserved for the court and the diplomatic corps, representing that the General’s small but elegant establishment, with its ponies and little coachman and footman, would be in danger of damage in the general throng unless the special privilege I asked was accorded.

白话

路易·菲利普国王很随和,巴纳姆在王室面前也不拘束,还试着搞了点外交。当时巴黎将办“隆尚”活动,原本是宗教节日,现在成了宫廷和时尚马车在香榭丽舍和布洛涅森林炫耀的场合。巴纳姆趁机对国王说:我赶来巴黎就是为了参加隆尚;将军的马车小巧精致,有小马、小马车夫和随从,混在人群里怕被挤坏,能不能允许它走宫廷和外交使团专用的车道?核心是:借对方熟悉的场合,提出一个具体、有理由的小请求。

上下文

巴纳姆在巴黎觐见法国国王路易·菲利普,想为“汤姆拇指将军”的马车争取隆尚游行的特殊通行权。

今日一问

向人提请求时,你有没有把理由说得具体、让对方容易答应?
