P.T. 巴纳姆:奋斗与胜利·补录 539
P.T. 巴纳姆《奋斗与胜利》· Struggles and Triumphs · 领导
I looked at my watch and quietly remarked, “Oh! there is time for lots of fun yet; we have nearly forty minutes of the hour remaining,” and I proceeded with my lecture, or rather a lecture, for I began to adapt my remarks to the audience and the occasion. At intervals of ten minutes, or so, came interruptions which I, as my audience saw, fully enjoyed as much as the house did. When this miscellaneous entertainment was concluded, and I stopped short at the end of the hour, crowds of the young men pressed forward to shake hands with me, declaring that they had had a “jolly good time,” while the leader said: “Stay with us a week, Barnum, and we will dine you, wine you, and give you full houses every night.” But I was announced to lecture in London the next evening and I could not accept the pressing invitation, though I would gladly have stayed through the week. They asked me all sorts of questions about America, the Museum, my various shows and successes, and expressed the hope that I would come out of my clock troubles all right.

白话
巴纳姆看表后说还有近四十分钟可以玩,便根据听众和场合调整演讲内容。每隔十分钟左右就有打断,他和观众一样享受。一小时结束,许多年轻人上前握手,说玩得很开心,领头者邀他留一周,包吃包喝还保证满座。但他次日晚上在伦敦有演讲,只能婉拒。学生们问美国、博物馆、各种演出和成功,还祝他摆脱时钟麻烦。这说明,把干扰变成互动,能拉近距离,但也要守住承诺。
上下文
巴纳姆在牛津演讲时与学生互动热烈,结束后被邀请多留一周,但他已有伦敦行程。

你能否在被打断时顺势互动,同时不耽误下一项承诺?
