P.T. 巴纳姆:奋斗与胜利·补录 317

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

The night before New Year’s day was spent in her apartment with great hilarity. Enlivened by music, singing, dancing and story-telling, the hours glided swiftly away. Miss Lind asked me if I would dance with her. I told her my education had been neglected in that line, and that I had never danced in my life, “That is all the better,” said she; “now dance with me in a cotillion. I am sure you can do it.” She was a beautiful dancer, and I never saw her laugh more heartily than she did at my awkwardness. She said she would give me the credit of being the poorest dancer she ever saw!

白话

新年前夜,我们在她的公寓里尽情欢乐。音乐、唱歌、跳舞和讲故事让时间飞逝。林德小姐问我愿不愿意和她跳舞。我告诉她我在这方面没受过训练,一辈子没跳过舞。“那更好,”她说,“现在和我跳一支方阵舞。我相信你能行。”她舞姿优美,看到我的笨拙笑得比任何时候都开心。她说要承认我是她见过的最差的舞者!她主动邀请,用自嘲和鼓励化解尴尬,让聚会气氛更轻松。
