P.T. 巴纳姆:奋斗与胜利·补录 422

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

_Dear Sir_:--I have just received a slip containing a call for a public meeting of the citizens of Bridgeport to sympathize with me in my troubles. It is headed by His Honor the Mayor, and is signed by most of your prominent citizens, as well as by many men who by hard labor earn their daily bread, and who appreciate a calamity which at a single blow strips a man of his fortune, his dear home, and all the worldly comforts which years of diligent labor had acquired. It is due to truth to say that I knew nothing of this movement until your letter informed me of it.

白话

这封信是巴纳姆的朋友写给他的,告知布里奇波特市民正在发起一场公开集会,声援巴纳姆的困境。集会由市长牵头,许多知名市民和靠辛苦劳动谋生的人也签了名。朋友强调,这些人理解一场灾难会瞬间夺走一个人多年勤劳积累的财富、家园和舒适生活。信里还特意说明,巴纳姆本人事先完全不知道这个活动。这既体现了社区对他的支持,也避免让他觉得是自己在背后推动。

上下文

这是巴纳姆的朋友写给他的信,告知市民自发组织声援集会,并强调巴纳姆事先不知情。
