This, she confessed, somewhat alarmed her, and she wrote to Mr. Bates on the subject. He entirely disabused her mind, by assuring her that he knew me personally, and that in treating with me she was not dealing with an “adventurer” who might make her remuneration depend entirely upon the success of the enterprise, but I was able to carry out all my engagements, let them prove never so unprofitable, and she could place the fullest reliance upon my honor and integrity.

白话
对方起初担心巴纳姆是个靠项目成败决定报酬的投机者,怕他兑现不了承诺。但中间人贝茨先生出面担保,说自己认识巴纳姆本人,他不是那种把风险全推给合作方的人;即便项目亏钱,巴纳姆也有能力照付约定报酬,人品和诚信完全靠得住。这提醒我们:合作前要核实对方底细,找可信的第三方背书;同时自己也要做到即使亏本也守约,才能赢得长期信任。
上下文
巴纳姆是美国19世纪著名演出经纪人,在自传中回忆邀请瑞典歌唱家珍妮·林德赴美巡演时,对方对他心存疑虑的经过。
今日一问
你在合作中遇到对方疑虑时,是找可信的第三方背书,还是只靠口头保证?
