P.T. 巴纳姆:奋斗与胜利·补录 449

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

Brushes, water and towels soon put me once more in presentable condition and we went to the Garrick Club where we dined with several gentlemen of note. Smith could not refrain from relating my mishaps and their consequences in my search for him under difficulties, and worse yet, under his stage, and great was the merriment over the idea that an old manager like myself should so lose his reckoning in a place with which he might well be supposed to be perfectly familiar.

白话

巴纳姆用刷子、水和毛巾很快把自己收拾干净,然后和史密斯等人去加里克俱乐部吃饭。席间史密斯忍不住把巴纳姆在舞台底下迷路、狼狈不堪的经历讲给大家听,满座大笑——一个老资格的经理,居然在自己本该最熟悉的地方迷了路。巴纳姆没有生气,反而把这事记进自传,说明他能自嘲、不端架子。这种态度其实很实用:出丑时坦然面对,别人笑过就过去了;越是遮掩,越容易成为话柄。对今天的人来说,学会拿自己的失误开个玩笑,是化解尴尬的好办法。

上下文

巴纳姆在伦敦与戏剧界朋友聚餐,席间被朋友拿他舞台下迷路的糗事打趣。

今日一问

你最近一次当众出丑后,是坦然自嘲,还是反复解释、越想越尴尬?
