P.T. 巴纳姆:奋斗与胜利·补录 253

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

I wished to reside within a few hours of New York. I had never seen more delightful locations than there are upon the borders of Long Island Sound, between New Rochelle, New York, and New Haven, Connecticut; and my attention was therefore turned in that direction. Bridgeport seemed to be about the proper distance from the great metropolis. It is pleasantly situated at the terminus of two railroads, which traverse the fertile valleys of the Naugatuck and Housatonic rivers. The New York and New Haven Railroad runs through the city, and there is also daily steamboat communication with New York. The enterprise which characterized the city, seemed to mark it as destined to become the first in the State in size and opulence; and I was not long in deciding, with the concurrence of my wife, to fix our future residence in that vicinity.

白话

巴纳姆想住在离纽约几小时车程的地方,他看中了长岛海峡沿岸、新罗谢尔到纽黑文之间的风景。布里奇波特距离大都市合适,位于两条铁路的终点,穿过瑙加塔克和胡萨托尼克河谷,还有纽约-纽黑文铁路和每日汽船。这座城市的进取精神似乎注定它将成为州内最大最富的城镇,于是他和妻子商量后决定定居附近。核心是:选址要兼顾交通便利、发展潜力和生活品质,而城市的进取精神是重要信号。
