P.T. 巴纳姆:奋斗与胜利·补录 24

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

As my mother continued to keep the village tavern at Bethel, I usually went home on Saturday night and stayed till Monday morning, going to church with my mother on Sunday. This habit was the occasion of an experience of momentous consequence to me. One Saturday evening, during a violent thunder shower, Miss Mary Wheeler, a milliner, sent me word that there was a girl from Bethel at her house, who had come up on horseback to get a new bonnet; that she was afraid to go back alone; and if I was going to Bethel that evening she wished me to escort her customer. I assented, and went over to “Aunt Rushia’s” where I was introduced to “Chairy” (Charity) Hallett, a fair, rosy-cheeked, buxom girl, with beautiful white teeth. I assisted her to her saddle, and mounting my own horse, we trotted towards Bethel.

白话

巴纳姆的母亲在贝瑟尔开乡村客栈,他通常周六晚上回家,周一早上走,周日和母亲去教堂。这个习惯带来一段重要经历。一个周六晚上雷雨大作,女帽商玛丽·惠勒捎话,说有个贝瑟尔来的姑娘骑马到她那取新帽子,不敢独自回去,如果巴纳姆当晚回贝瑟尔,希望他护送。他答应了,到“拉希亚姑妈”家见到查丽蒂·哈莱特,一个面色红润、牙齿洁白的丰满姑娘。他扶她上马,自己也骑上,一起往贝瑟尔走。核心是:日常习惯和乐于助人可能带来人生转折。
