P.T. 巴纳姆：奋斗与胜利·补录 226
P.T. 巴纳姆《奋斗与胜利》· Struggles and Triumphs · 领导
In my journeyings through England, I always tried to get back to London Saturday night, so as to pass Sunday with my family, and to meet the friends whom we invited to dine with us on the only day in the week when I could be at home. The railway facilities are so excellent in England, that, no matter how far I might be from London, I could generally reach that city by Sunday morning, and yet do a full week’s work in the provinces. This, however, necessitated travel Saturday night, and while I travelled I must sleep. Sleeping cars were, and, I believe, still are unknown in that country; but I travelled so much, and was, by this time, so well known to the guards on the leading lines, that I could generally secure one of the compartments in a first-class “coach” to myself, and my method for obtaining a good night’s sleep, was to lay the seat-cushions on the floor of the car, thus, with my blanket to cover me, making a tolerable bed.

白话
巴纳姆在英国巡演时，总设法周六夜赶回伦敦，以便周日与家人团聚并宴客。当时英国火车没有卧铺，他就把坐垫铺在地板上，盖毯子睡一觉。核心是：想兼顾事业与家庭，就得在交通上动脑筋，把赶路时间变成休息时间。他利用铁路的便利和与乘务员的熟络，独占包厢，创造临时床铺。这告诉我们，时间冲突时，可以改造环境来争取休息，而不是牺牲健康或家庭。关键是把“不得不”的旅途变成“可休息”的时段。
