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

One night, while giving a concert in Boston, a girl approached the ticket-office, and laying down $3 for a ticket, remarked, “There goes half a month’s earnings, but I am determined to hear Jenny Lind.” Miss Lind’s secretary heard the remark, and a few minutes afterwards coming into her room, he laughingly related the circumstance. “Would you know the girl again?” asked Jenny, with an earnest look. Upon receiving an affirmative reply, she instantly placed a $20 gold-piece in his hand, and said, “Poor girl! give her that with my best compliments.” He at once found the girl, who cried with joy when she received the gold-piece, and heard the kind words with which the gift was accompanied.

白话

波士顿音乐会上,一个女孩用半个月收入买票,说一定要听珍妮·林德唱歌。秘书把这事当笑话讲给珍妮听,珍妮却认真问能否认出那女孩,随即拿出一枚20美元金币让秘书转交,并附上最好的问候。女孩收到后喜极而泣。珍妮没有直接免票或公开施舍,而是通过秘书私下完成,既帮助了女孩,又照顾了她的尊严。这说明善举要具体、及时,并注意方式,避免让对方难堪。
