P.T. 巴纳姆:奋斗与胜利·补录 254

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

I accordingly purchased seventeen acres of land, less than a mile west of the city, and fronting with a good view upon the Sound. Although nominally in Bridgeport, my property was really in Fairfield, a few rods west of the Bridgeport line. In deciding upon the kind of house to be erected, I determined, first and foremost, to consult convenience and comfort. I cared little for style, and my wife cared still less; but as we meant to have a good house, it might as well, at the same time, be unique. In this, I confess, I had “an eye to business,” for I thought that a pile of buildings of a novel order might indirectly serve as an advertisement of my Museum.

白话

巴纳姆在布里奇波特西边不到一英里处买了17英亩土地,面朝海峡。虽然名义上在布里奇波特,实际在费尔菲尔德。决定房子样式时,他首先考虑方便和舒适,不在乎风格,妻子更不在乎,但既然要建好房子,不如同时让它独特。他承认这里有商业考虑:一栋新奇的建筑可以间接为他的博物馆做广告。核心是:住宅设计可以兼顾舒适与营销,独特的外观能成为免费广告。

上下文

巴纳姆在自传中讲述他购买土地并建造独特住宅“伊朗尼斯坦”的经过,体现他的商业头脑。

今日一问

你的住所或办公空间是否也能成为个人品牌的广告?如何在不牺牲舒适的前提下做到独特?
