P.T. 巴纳姆：奋斗与胜利·补录 197
P.T. 巴纳姆《奋斗与胜利》· Struggles and Triumphs · 领导
Paris, gave a picture of an immense mastiff running away with the General’s carriage and horses in his mouth. Statuettes of “Tom Pouce” appeared in all the windows, in plaster, Parian, sugar and chocolate; songs were written about him and his lithograph was seen everywhere. A fine café on one of the boulevards took the name of “Tom Pouce” and displayed over the door a life-size statue of the General. In Paris, as in London, several eminent painters expressed their desire to paint his portrait, but the General’s engagements were so pressing that he found little time to sit to artists. All the leading actors and actresses came to the General’s levees and petted him and made him many presents. Meanwhile, the daily receipts continued to swell, and I was compelled to take a cab to carry my bag of silver home at night.

白话
巴黎到处是“拇指将军”的形象：漫画画他被大狗叼走，石膏、糖、巧克力做成的小雕像摆在橱窗，有人写歌，石版画随处可见，一家咖啡馆干脆改名“拇指将军”并在门口立真人大小雕像。名画家想给他画像，演员来看他、送礼物。每天收入多到巴纳姆晚上得叫马车把银币运回家。核心是：当产品变成城市话题，周边和模仿会自发出现，形成免费传播。做法是让形象简单、可复制、可被二次创作。
上下文
巴纳姆描述“拇指将军”在巴黎引发的全民狂热，从商品到店铺都借他的名字。
