P.T. 巴纳姆：奋斗与胜利·补录 398
P.T. 巴纳姆《奋斗与胜利》· Struggles and Triumphs · 领导
In my general plan of presenting the facts and incidents of my life in chronological order, I shall necessarily introduce in the history of the next seven years, an account of my entanglement in the “Jerome Clock Company,”--how I was drawn into it, how I got out of it, and what it did to me and for me. The great notoriety given to my connection with this concern--the fact that the journals throughout the country made it the subject of news, gossip, sympathy, abuse, and advice to and about me, my friends, my persecutors, and the public generally--seems to demand that the story should be briefly but plainly told. The event itself has passed away and with it the passions and excitements that were born of it; and I certainly have no desire now to deal in personalities or to go into the question of the motives which influenced those who were interested, any farther than may be strictly essential to a fair and candid statement of the case.

白话
巴纳姆说，按时间顺序讲自己生平时，接下来七年必然要讲他卷入“杰罗姆钟表公司”的经过：怎么被拉进去、怎么脱身、这事对他做了什么、又给了他什么。因为这件事当时闹得全国皆知，报纸拿它当新闻、八卦、同情、骂人和劝告的素材，涉及他、朋友、迫害者和公众，所以有必要简短而清楚地讲一讲。但事情已经过去，当时的情绪也散了，他现在不想搞人身攻击，也不想深究相关人的动机，只求公平坦白地陈述事实。核心意思是：讲述重大争议时，要交代必要背景，但不必纠缠旧怨。可执行的做法是：复盘失败时，聚焦事实和教训，少做人身评判。
上下文
巴纳姆在自传中准备叙述自己卷入杰罗姆钟表公司事件的经过，该事件曾引起全国媒体广泛关注。
今日一问
你复盘一次冲突时，是在讲事实和教训，还是在反复追究别人的动机？
