P.T. 巴纳姆:奋斗与胜利·补录 249
P.T. 巴纳姆《奋斗与胜利》· Struggles and Triumphs · 领导
After spending a month in visiting his friends, it was determined that the General and his parents should travel through the United States. I agreed to accompany them, with occasional intervals of rest at home, for one year, sharing the profits equally, as in England. We proceeded to Washington city, where the General held his levees in April, 1847, visiting President Polk and lady at the White House--thence to Richmond, returning to Baltimore and Philadelphia. Our receipts in Philadelphia in twelve days were $5,594.91. The tour for the entire year realized about the same average. The expenses were from twenty-five dollars to thirty dollars per day. From Philadelphia we went to Boston, Lowell, and Providence. Our receipts on one day in the latter city were $976.97. We then visited New Bedford, Fall River, Salem, Worcester, Springfield, Albany, Troy, Niagara Falls, Buffalo, and intermediate places, and in returning to New York we stopped at the principal towns on the Hudson River. After this we visited New Haven, Hartford, Portland, Me., and intermediate towns.

白话
巴纳姆带着“将军”(可能指侏儒或奇人)及其父母在美国巡演一年,他陪同并平分利润。他们去了华盛顿、里士满、巴尔的摩、费城等地,在费城12天收入5594.91美元,每天开支25到30美元。之后又去了波士顿、洛厄尔、普罗维登斯,在普罗维登斯一天收入976.97美元。接着访问了新贝德福德、福尔里弗、塞勒姆、伍斯特、斯普林菲尔德、奥尔巴尼、特洛伊、尼亚加拉瀑布、布法罗等地,回纽约时在哈德逊河沿岸主要城镇停留,最后还去了纽黑文、哈特福德、波特兰等。核心是:巡演要规划路线、控制成本、分享利润,才能持续盈利。
