P.T. 巴纳姆：奋斗与胜利·补录 291
P.T. 巴纳姆《奋斗与胜利》· Struggles and Triumphs · 领导
I told him that I would see him on the subject at Miss Lind’s hotel that afternoon, and going there a few moments before the appointed hour, I narrated the circumstances to Mr. Benedict and showed him an affidavit which I had made that morning to the effect that I would never directly or indirectly take any advantage whatever of Miss Lind. This I had made oath to, for I thought if there was any swearing of that kind to be done I would do it “in a lump” rather than in detail. Mr. Benedict was very much opposed to it, and arriving during the interview, Jay was made to see the matter in such a light that he was thoroughly ashamed of his proposition, and, requesting that the affair might not be mentioned to Miss Lind, he begged me to destroy the affidavit. I heard no more about swearing to our receipts.

白话
巴纳姆告诉对方，下午在林德女士的酒店见面谈。他提前到了，向本尼迪克特先生说明情况，并出示了一份当天早上立下的宣誓书，保证自己绝不会直接或间接占林德女士任何便宜。他之所以一次性把誓发完，是觉得与其一条条地发誓，不如一次把话说死。本尼迪克特强烈反对这么做。杰伊在谈话中赶到，被说得羞愧难当，请求不要把这事告诉林德，并求巴纳姆销毁宣誓书。此后巴纳姆再没听到有人要求他对票房收入发誓。
上下文
巴纳姆是19世纪美国著名演出经纪人，这是他回忆策划瑞典歌唱家珍妮·林德美国巡演的经历。

当合作方要求你为诚信做额外保证时，你会用一次性承诺来回应，还是逐条谈判？
