P.T. 巴纳姆：奋斗与胜利·补录 234
P.T. 巴纳姆《奋斗与胜利》· Struggles and Triumphs · 领导
During our three years’ stay abroad, I made a second hasty visit to America, leaving the General in England in the hands of my agents. I took passage from Liverpool on board a Cunard steamer, commanded by Captain Judkins. One of my fellow passengers was the celebrated divine, Robert Baird. I had known him as the author of an octavo volume, “Religion in America”; and while that work had impressed me as exhibiting great ability and an outspoken honesty of purpose, it had also given me the notion that its author must be very rigid and intolerant as a sectarian. Still I was happy to make his acquaintance on board the steamship, and soon regarded with favor the venerable Presbyterian divine.

白话
巴纳姆在国外三年间，第二次短暂回美国，把“将军”（可能指汤姆拇指将军）留在英国交给代理人。他从利物浦乘丘纳德轮船，船长是贾德金斯。同船有著名牧师罗伯特·贝尔德。巴纳姆读过贝尔德的《美国宗教》，觉得作者有才、诚实，但也以为他一定古板偏狭。上船后他高兴地结识了这位可敬的长老会牧师。核心是：不要凭作品给人贴标签。读书形成的印象未必等于真人，主动接触才能打破偏见。
上下文
巴纳姆在自传中回忆跨洋旅行。他通过著作认识贝尔德，上船后有机会亲自交往。
