P.T. 巴纳姆：奋斗与胜利·补录 554
P.T. 巴纳姆《奋斗与胜利》· Struggles and Triumphs · 领导
The announcement that “Richard’s himself again”--that I was at last out of the financial entanglement--was variously received in the community. That portion of the press which had followed me with abuse when I was down, under the belief that my case was past recovery, were chary in allusions to the new state of things, or passed them over without comment. The sycophants always knew I would get up again, “and said so at the time;” the many and noble journals which had stood by me and upheld me in my misfortunes, were of course rejoiced, and their words of sincere congratulation gave me a higher satisfaction than I have power of language to acknowledge. Letters of congratulation came in upon me from every quarter. Friendly hands that had never been withheld during the long period of my misfortune were now extended with a still heartier grip. I never knew till now the warmth and number of my friends.

白话
巴纳姆摆脱财务困境后，外界反应各异：曾在他低谷时攻击他的媒体，现在要么回避报道，要么轻描淡写；而当初就预言他会东山再起的人，其实只是事后诸葛亮；真正一直支持他的媒体和朋友则真诚祝贺，让他倍感温暖。他收到各地贺信，朋友的手握得更紧，他第一次深切体会到友情的数量和热度。核心是：困境是检验友情的试金石，要珍惜那些不离不弃的人，同时看淡势利者的反复。
