P.T. 巴纳姆:奋斗与胜利·补录 318

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

One of the Havana papers, notwithstanding the great triumph, continued to cry out for low prices. This induced many to absent themselves, expecting soon to see a reduction. It had been understood that we would give twelve concerts in Havana; but when they saw, after the fourth concert, which was devoted to charity, that no more were announced, they became uneasy. Committees waited upon us requesting more concerts, but we peremptorily declined. Some of the leading Dons, among whom was Count Penalver, then offered to guarantee us $25,000 for three concerts. My reply was, that there was not money enough on the island of Cuba to induce me to consent to it. That settled the matter, and gave us a pleasant opportunity for recreation.

白话

尽管演出大获成功,哈瓦那有家报纸仍不断呼吁低价票。这导致一些人缺席,指望很快降价。原本说好要在哈瓦那办十二场音乐会,但第四场慈善演出后,他们看到不再宣布新场次,就坐不住了。委员会来请求加演,我们断然拒绝。一些头面人物,包括佩纳尔弗伯爵,提出保证三场演出给两万五千美元。我回答:古巴岛上的钱全给我也不干。这事就此了结,我们也乐得清闲。
