P.T. 巴纳姆:奋斗与胜利·补录 358
P.T. 巴纳姆《奋斗与胜利》· Struggles and Triumphs · 领导
I was always supplied with complimentary tickets when she gave concerts in New York, and on the occasion of her last appearance in America, I visited her in her room back of the stage, and bade her and her husband adieu, with my best wishes. She expressed the same feeling to me in return. She told me she should never sing much, if any more, in public; but I reminded her that a good Providence had endowed her with a voice which enabled her to contribute in an eminent degree to the enjoyment of her fellow beings, and if she no longer needed the large sums of money which they were willing to pay for this elevating and delightful entertainment, she knew by experience what a genuine pleasure she would receive by devoting the money to the alleviation of the wants and sorrows of those who needed it.

白话
珍妮在纽约开音乐会时,总会给我留赠票。她最后一次在美国登台,我到后台化妆间向她和她丈夫道别,送上祝福,她也回以同样的心意。她说以后不会再怎么公开演唱了。我提醒她:上天给了她一副好嗓子,让她能极大程度地给同代人带来享受;如果她不再需要观众付的大笔钱,那她凭经验也知道,把钱用来帮助困苦的人会得到真正的快乐。这不是逼她唱,而是帮她看到天赋的社会价值。
上下文
巴纳姆与珍妮·林德合作巡演后,在后台告别时的对话,体现了他对艺术家社会角色的理解。
