P.T. 巴纳姆:奋斗与胜利·补录 537
P.T. 巴纳姆《奋斗与胜利》· Struggles and Triumphs · 领导
Remembering my experiences, some years before, with General Tom Thumb at Oxford and Cambridge, and the fondness of the undergraduates for practical joking, I was quite prepared when I made up my mind to visit those two cities, to take any quantity of “chaff” and lampooning which the University boys might choose to bring. I was sure of a full house in each city, and as I was anxious to earn all the money I could, so as to hasten my deliverance from financial difficulties, I fully resolved to put up with whatever offered--indeed, I rather liked the idea of an episode in the steady run of praise which had followed my lecture everywhere, and I felt, too, in the coming encounter that I might give quite as much as I was compelled to take.

白话
巴纳姆想起早年带拇指汤姆在牛津、剑桥演出时,大学生爱恶作剧,所以这次去两城演讲前,他做好了被嘲弄的准备。他确信能满座,又急需赚钱摆脱债务,因此决心忍受一切,甚至期待在连续好评中添点插曲,并觉得自己也能回敬。这告诉我们,面对可能难缠的听众,提前预判、调整心态、把冲突当乐趣,反而能稳住局面。你可以先设想最糟情况,想好幽默回应,再上场。
