P.T. 巴纳姆:奋斗与胜利·补录 44

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

The court was just as “real” as the attorney,--no more,--and consisted of three judges, one a mason, the second a butcher, and the third an old gentleman of leisure who was an ex-justice of the peace. The constable was of my own appointment, and my “writ” arrested the culprit who had turned my client out of house and home. The court was convened, but as the culprit did not appear, and as it seemed necessary that my client should get testimonials as to his personal character; the court adjourned nominally for one week, the client consenting to “stand treat” to cover immediate expenses.

白话

这个法庭和那位律师一样“真实”——不多不少,全是假的。法庭由三位法官组成:一个泥瓦匠、一个屠夫,还有一位闲居的老先生,做过治安法官。执法官是巴纳姆自己任命的,他的一张“传票”把那个把客户赶出家门的人给抓了来。法庭开庭,但被告没出现;又似乎需要给客户弄些人品证明,于是法庭名义上休庭一周,客户同意“请客”来应付眼前的开销。

上下文

巴纳姆在自传中描述自己策划的一场恶作剧:他假扮律师,找了几个人假扮法官和执法官,演了一出“审判”闹剧。

你如何看待用玩笑方式处理纠纷?它可能带来什么后果?
