P.T. 巴纳姆:奋斗与胜利·补录 320

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

I found my little Italian plate-dancer, Vivalla, in Havana. He called on me frequently. He was in great distress, having lost the use of his limbs on the left side of his body by paralysis. He was thus unable to earn a livelihood, although he still kept a performing dog, which turned a spinning-wheel and performed some curious tricks. One day, as I was passing him out of the front gate, Miss Lind inquired who he was. I briefly recounted to her his history. She expressed deep interest in his case, and said something should be set apart for him in the benefit which she was about to give for charity. Accordingly, when the benefit came off, Miss Lind appropriated $500 to him, and I made the necessary arrangements for his return to his friends in Italy. At the same benefit $4,000 were distributed between two hospitals and a convent.

白话

我在哈瓦那找到了我的意大利小盘舞者维瓦拉。他常来看我。他非常痛苦,因为瘫痪失去了左半身肢体的功能。因此无法谋生,尽管他还养着一只表演狗,能转纺车和做些奇特把戏。一天,我送他出前门时,林德小姐问他是谁。我简要讲了她的经历。她深表同情,说应该从她即将举办的慈善义演中拨一部分给他。义演时,林德小姐拨了500美元给他,我安排送他回意大利亲友处。同一场义演还向两家医院和一所修道院捐了4000美元。
