P.T. 巴纳姆:奋斗与胜利·补录 233

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

We took the cars the same evening for Birmingham, where we arrived at ten o’clock, Albert Smith remarking, that never before in his life had he accomplished a day’s journey on the Yankee go-ahead principle. He afterwards published a chapter in _Bentley’s Magazine_ entitled “A Day with Barnum,” in which he said we accomplished business with such rapidity, that when he attempted to write out the accounts of the day, he found the whole thing so confused in his brain that he came near locating “Peeping Tom” in the house of Shakespeare, while Guy of Warwick _would_ stick his head above the ruins of Kenilworth, and the Warwick Vase appeared in Coventry.

白话

他们当晚乘火车去伯明翰,十点到达。同行作家阿尔伯特·史密斯感叹从未经历过这样“美国式快节奏”的一天。后来他在杂志上写文章说,巴纳姆办事速度太快,他写日记时脑子全乱了,差点把“偷窥汤姆”安到莎士比亚故居,把沃里克伯爵的头按到凯尼尔沃思废墟上,把沃里克花瓶摆到考文垂。核心是:高效行程能带来丰富体验,但太快也会让人消化不良。做事可以快,但事后要留时间整理消化,否则记忆和认知会错位。

上下文

巴纳姆与英国作家阿尔伯特·史密斯同游,一天内赶多个景点。史密斯后来撰文调侃这段经历。

今日一问

你是否有过行程太满、事后却记不清细节的旅行?下次如何留白?
