P.T. 巴纳姆《奋斗与胜利》· Struggles and Triumphs · 领导
I found Baden a delightful little town, cleaner and neater than any city I had ever visited. I learned afterwards that Mr. Benazet, the lessee of the kurasal and gambling house, was compelled annually to expend large sums for keeping the streets and public places clean. Indeed, he could well afford to do so, as one would readily perceive upon witnessing the vast amounts of money which were daily lost by the men and women of nearly all nations, upon his tables of roulette and _rouge et noir_.

白话
巴纳姆发现巴登是个宜人的小镇,比他去过的任何城市都干净整洁。后来得知,赌场和疗养院的承租人贝纳泽先生每年被迫花大笔钱保持街道和公共场所清洁。他当然负担得起,因为每天都有来自各国的人在轮盘赌和红黑赌桌上输掉巨额钱财。这揭示了赌场繁荣背后的代价:用赌客的钱维持表面光鲜,而赌客往往损失惨重。提醒人们警惕赌博的诱惑。
上下文
巴纳姆在自传中描述德国巴登小镇的整洁与赌场生意的关系,反映19世纪欧洲赌场文化。
