P.T. 巴纳姆:奋斗与胜利·补录 436

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

Just after my failure, and on account of the ill-health of my wife, I spent a portion of the summer with my family in the farmhouse of Mr. Charles Howell, at Westhampton, on Long Island. The place is a mile west of Quogue, and was then called “Ketchebonneck.” The thrifty and intelligent farmers of the neighborhood were in the habit of taking summer boarders, and the place had become a favorite resort. Mr. Howell’s farm lay close upon the ocean and I found the residence a cool and delightful one. Surf bathing, fishing, shooting and fine roads for driving made the season pass pleasantly and the respite from active life and immediate annoyance from my financial troubles was a very great benefit to me.

白话

破产后不久,因为妻子身体不好,我带着家人到长岛西汉普顿的查尔斯·豪威尔先生的农舍住了一阵子。那地方在夸格以西一英里,当时叫“凯切博内克”。附近勤劳聪明的农民习惯接待夏季寄宿客人,那里已经成了热门度假地。豪威尔的农场紧挨着大海,住着凉爽宜人。冲浪、钓鱼、打猎,还有适合驾车的平坦道路,让这个夏天过得很愉快。从忙碌的生活和财务麻烦中暂时抽身,对我真是莫大的好处。这告诉我们,遭遇重大挫折后,换个环境、回归自然,能有效缓解压力、恢复心力。
