P.T. 巴纳姆:奋斗与胜利·补录 349

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

We were not a little surprised to learn upon arriving, that the concert must be given in a “pork house”--a capacious shed which had been fitted up and decorated for the occasion. We concluded, however, that if the inhabitants were satisfied with the accommodations, we ought not to object. The person who had contracted for the concert came $1,300 short of his agreement, which I consequently lost, and at ten o’clock we were again on board the fine steamer “Ben Franklin” bound for Cincinnati.

白话

巴纳姆一行到达麦迪逊后惊讶地发现,音乐会竟要在一个“猪肉房”里举行——那是一个宽敞的棚子,为这次活动临时装修布置过。他们想,既然当地人都觉得可以接受,自己也不该反对。结果,承包音乐会的人比约定少付了一千三百美元,巴纳姆因此损失了这笔钱。晚上十点,他们又登上“本·富兰克林”号好船,前往辛辛那提。核心是:巴纳姆为了赶路和机会,接受了不理想的场地,也承担了合作方违约的风险。这提醒我们,在资源有限、时间紧迫时,可以灵活妥协,但要对合作方的履约能力做基本评估,并预留风险缓冲。
