P.T. 巴纳姆:奋斗与胜利·补录 613

P.T. 巴纳姆《奋斗与胜利》· Struggles and Triumphs · 领导

I promised secrecy, and the General retired in as happy a mood as I ever saw him. Lavinia also retired, but not a hint did she give to the young lady with whom she slept regarding the engagement. Indeed, our family plied her upon the subject the next day, but not a breath passed her lips that would give the slightest indication of what had transpired. She was quite sociable with the Commodore, and as the General concluded to go home the next morning, the Commodore’s equanimity and good feelings were fully restored. The General made a call of half an hour Sunday evening, and managed to have an interview with Lavinia. The next morning she and the Commodore returned to New York in good spirits, I remaining in Bridgeport.

白话

巴纳姆答应保密,将军以从未有过的快乐心情离开。拉维尼亚也回房了,但对同睡的女伴只字未提订婚的事。第二天家人纷纷试探,她仍守口如瓶。她与准将相处自然,准将情绪恢复。将军周日晚上来访半小时,与拉维尼亚私下交谈。第二天早上,拉维尼亚和准将愉快地返回纽约,巴纳姆留在布里奇波特。

上下文

巴纳姆回忆录中,拇指汤姆将军与拉维尼亚订婚后的保密过程,以及准将纳特情绪恢复的经过。

今日一问

当你需要保守一个重要的秘密时,你能像拉维尼亚一样守口如瓶,连最亲近的人也不透露吗?
