“JENNY LIND AND THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.--What ancient monarch was he, either in history or in fable, who offered half his kingdom (the price of box tickets and choice seats in those days) for the invention of an original sensation, or the discovery of a fresh pleasure? That sensation--that pleasure which royal power in the old world failed to discover--has been called into existence at a less price, by Mr. Barnum, a plain republican, and is now about to be enjoyed by the sovereigns of the new world.

白话

这是一段报纸评论:古代哪个君主,无论史实还是传说,曾用半个王国换一种原创的刺激或一种新鲜的快乐?那种旧世界王权都找不到的刺激和快乐,被巴纳姆这个普通共和党人用更低的代价创造出来,如今新世界的君主们正要享受它。

上下文

这是当时报纸对巴纳姆推出珍妮·林德巡演的评论,赞美他用商业手段制造轰动。

今日一问

你能否用更低的成本,为人们创造一种他们自己想不到的新鲜体验?
