P.T. 巴纳姆：奋斗与胜利·补录 454
P.T. 巴纳姆《奋斗与胜利》· Struggles and Triumphs · 领导
Mr. Lumley, manager of Pier Majesty’s Theatre, used to send me an order for a private box for every opera night, and I frequently availed myself of his courtesy. I had an idea that much money might be made by transferring his entire opera company, which then included Piccolomini and Titjiens to New York for a short season. The plan included the charter of a special steamer for the company and the conveyance of the entire troup, including the orchestra, with their instruments, and the chorus, costumes, scores, and properties of the company. It was a gigantic scheme, which would no doubt have been pecuniarily successful, and Mr. Lumley and I went so far as to draw up the preliminaries of an arrangement, in which I was to share a due proportion of the profits for my assistance in the management; but after a while, and to the evident regret of Mr. Lumley, the scheme was given up.

白话
巴纳姆常获伦敦女王陛下剧院经理拉姆利先生赠送私人包厢票，他由此想到一个宏大计划：把整个歌剧团（包括著名歌手皮科洛米尼和蒂蒂恩斯）搬到纽约演出短季，包专船运送全体人员、乐器、服装、乐谱和道具。这计划若成肯定赚钱，两人甚至草拟了协议，巴纳姆参与管理并分利润。但最终计划放弃，拉姆利明显感到遗憾。这说明，即使前景诱人的大项目，也可能因各种现实原因搁浅，需要权衡风险与可行性。
