P.T. 巴纳姆:奋斗与胜利·补录 215

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

Several months subsequent to our visit to Waterloo, I was in Birmingham, and there made the acquaintance of a firm who manufactured to order, and sent to Waterloo, barrels of “relics” every year. At Waterloo these “relics” are planted, and in due time dug up, and sold at large prices as precious remembrances of the great battle. Our Waterloo purchases looked rather cheap after this discovery.

白话

几个月后巴纳姆在伯明翰认识一家工厂,每年按订单往滑铁卢送成桶的“遗物”。这些“遗物”在滑铁卢埋下,过段时间挖出来,当作战场珍贵纪念品高价卖出。知道这事后,他们买的滑铁卢纪念品显得很廉价。很多“历史纪念品”是批量生产再埋再挖的,买之前要想想来源是否可靠。

上下文

巴纳姆回忆录中,他游滑铁卢后买纪念品,后来在伯明翰发现纪念品造假产业链。

今日一问

你买过的“纪念品”或“限量品”,有没有查过它真正的来源?
