P.T. 巴纳姆:奋斗与胜利·补录 307
P.T. 巴纳姆《奋斗与胜利》· Struggles and Triumphs · 领导
On reaching Philadelphia, a large concourse of persons awaited the approach of the steamer which conveyed her. With difficulty we pressed through the crowd, and were followed by many thousands to Jones’s Hotel. The street in front of the building was densely packed by the populace, and poor Jenny, who was suffering from a severe headache, retired to her apartments. I tried to induce the crowd to disperse, but they declared they would not do so until Jenny Lind should appear on the balcony. I would not disturb her, and knowing that the tumult might prove an annoyance to her, I placed her bonnet and shawl upon her companion, Miss Ahmansen, and led her out on the balcony. She bowed gracefully to the multitude, who gave her three hearty cheers and quietly dispersed. Miss Lind was so utterly averse to any thing like deception, that we never ventured to tell her the part which her bonnet and shawl had played in the absence of their owner.

白话
在费城,大批人群等候珍妮的汽船,跟到酒店,挤满街道。珍妮头痛,巴纳姆劝人群散去,但人们坚持要见她。巴纳姆不愿打扰她,就把她的帽子和披肩给同伴阿曼森小姐穿上,让她到阳台鞠躬,人群欢呼后散去。珍妮厌恶欺骗,所以他们一直没敢告诉她。这招虽解决了眼前问题,但利用了替身,有欺骗成分。处理公众热情时,可以找折中方案,但最好事后坦诚,避免长期隐瞒造成信任危机。
上下文
巴纳姆自传中记录珍妮·林德在费城被粉丝围堵,他让替身冒充她平息人群的轶事。
