P.T. 巴纳姆:奋斗与胜利·补录 314

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

We remained at Charleston about ten days, to take the steamer “Isabella” on her regular trip to Havana. Jenny had been through so much excitement at the North, that she determined to have quiet here, and therefore declined receiving any calls. This disappointed many ladies and gentlemen. One young lady, the daughter of a wealthy planter near Augusta, was so determined upon seeing her in private, that she paid one of the servants to allow her to put on a cap and white apron, and carry in the tray for Jenny’s tea. I afterwards told Miss Lind of the joke, and suggested that after such an evidence of admiration, she should receive a call from the young lady.

白话

巴纳姆一行在查尔斯顿停留约十天,等候开往哈瓦那的汽船。珍妮·林德在北方经历了太多兴奋,决定在这里安静休息,因此谢绝会客,让许多绅士淑女失望。一位奥古斯塔附近种植园主的女儿非要私下见她,竟买通仆人,戴上帽子和白围裙,假装送茶进去。巴纳姆后来把这事当笑话告诉林德,并建议她既然有如此仰慕者,不妨接见一下这位小姐。这故事说明:名人需要边界来保护自己,但粉丝的执着有时也令人哭笑不得;管理者可以灵活处理,把尴尬化为善意。

上下文

巴纳姆自传中讲述珍妮·林德在查尔斯顿休整时,一位富家女扮成仆人混入房间的趣事。

今日一问

当你需要休息却被人热情打扰时,如何既保护边界又不失善意?
