P.T. 巴纳姆:奋斗与胜利·补录 65

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

Vivalla remained a second week at the Franklin Theatre, for which I received $150. I realized the same sum for a week in Boston. We then went to Washington to fulfil an engagement which was far from successful, since my remuneration depended upon the receipts, and it snowed continually during the week. I was a loser to such an extent that I had not funds enough to return to Philadelphia. I pawned my watch and chain for thirty-five dollars, when fortunately Manager Wemyss arrived on Saturday morning and loaned me the money to redeem my property.

白话

维瓦拉在富兰克林剧院又演了一周,巴纳姆赚了150美元;在波士顿一周也赚了同样数目。然后他们去华盛顿履约,但天公不作美,整周下雪,收入惨淡,巴纳姆连回费城的路费都不够。他只好把怀表和表链当了35美元。幸好周六早上经理韦米斯借给他钱,他才赎回了当品。

上下文

巴纳姆在自传中讲述早期巡演时遭遇的财务困境,说明创业并非一帆风顺。

今日一问
