P.T. 巴纳姆：奋斗与胜利·补录 414
P.T. 巴纳姆《奋斗与胜利》· Struggles and Triumphs · 领导
If at any time my vanity had been chilled by the fear that after my retirement from the Jenny Lind enterprise the world would forget me, this affair speedily reassured me; I had notice enough to satisfy the most inordinate craving for notoriety. All over the country, and even across the ocean, “Barnum and the Jerome Clock Bubble” was the great newspaper theme. I was taken to pieces, analyzed, put together again, kicked, “pitched into,” tumbled about, preached to, preached about, and made to serve every purpose to which a sensation-loving world could put me. Well! I was now in training, in a new school, and was learning new and strange lessons.

白话
巴纳姆曾担心退休后被人遗忘，但这场风波让他成了全国甚至跨洋的新闻焦点：“巴纳姆与杰罗姆钟表泡沫”被报纸大肆报道。他被剖析、被踢来踢去、被说教，成了 sensation 世界的素材。他自嘲说，这倒满足了他对名气的渴望，也让他进入一所新学校学习奇怪的课程。核心是：公众关注是把双刃剑，坏事也能带来知名度，但代价是隐私和尊严。做法是把危机当作学习机会，同时保护核心利益。
上下文
巴纳姆在自传中描述自己因钟表公司破产成为媒体焦点，既被嘲讽也被消费。
