P.T. 巴纳姆：奋斗与胜利·补录 352
P.T. 巴纳姆《奋斗与胜利》· Struggles and Triumphs · 领导
We reached New York early in May, 1851, and gave fourteen concerts in Castle Garden and Metropolitan Hall. The last of these made the ninety-second regular concert under our engagement. Jenny Lind had now again reached the atmosphere of her legal and other “advisers,” and I soon discovered the effects of their influence. I, however, cared little what course they advised her to pursue. I indeed wished they would prevail upon her to close with her hundredth concert, for I had become weary with constant excitement and unremitting exertions. I was confident that if she undertook to give concerts on her own account, she would be imposed upon and harassed in a thousand ways; yet I felt it would be well for her to have a trial at it, if she saw fit to credit her advisers’ assurance that I had not managed the enterprise as successfully as it might have been done.

白话
1851年5月回到纽约，又开了14场音乐会，总共92场。珍妮·林德身边又围上了律师和“顾问”，巴纳姆很快感觉到他们的影响。他其实不太在意他们建议她怎么做，甚至希望他们劝她唱完第100场就收手，因为他已经疲惫不堪。他确信如果她自己办音乐会，会被各种人坑、被琐事烦死；但他也觉得，让她自己试一次也好，如果她真信了顾问们的话——说他经营得不够成功。这里的关键是：当合作者被旁人包围时，与其争辩，不如让对方亲自试错，事实会说话。
上下文
巴纳姆与瑞典女高音珍妮·林德的巡演合同接近尾声，双方因管理方式产生分歧。
