P.T. 巴纳姆:奋斗与胜利·补录 671

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

When the day arrived the excitement was intense. The passages leading to the hall were crowded with railroad lobbyists; for nearly every railroad in the State had made common cause with the New York and New Haven Company, and every representative was in his seat, excepting the sick man, who had doctored the railroads till he needed doctoring himself. The debate was led off by skirmishers on each side, and was finally closed on the part of the railroads by Mr. Harrison, of New Haven, who was chairman of the railroad committee. Mr. Henry B. Harrison was a close and forcible debater and a clear-headed lawyer. His speech exhibited considerable thought, and his earnestness and high character as a gentleman of honor, carried much weight. Besides, his position as chairman of the committee naturally influenced some votes. He claimed to understand thoroughly the merits of the question, from having, in his capacity as chairman, heard all the testimony and arguments which had come before that committee; and a majority of the committee, after due deliberation, had reported against the proposed bill.

白话

投票日当天气氛紧张。通往大厅的走廊挤满了铁路说客;几乎全州每条铁路都与纽约和纽黑文公司联手,每位代表都就座,除了那个病人——他以前替铁路公司治病,现在自己需要治疗。辩论由双方先头部队展开,最后由纽黑文的哈里森先生代表铁路方总结,他是铁路委员会主席。哈里森是严谨有力的辩论者、头脑清晰的律师。他的演讲显示出深思熟虑,他作为正直绅士的认真和高尚品格很有分量。此外,他委员会主席的身份自然影响了一些选票。他声称彻底了解问题实质,因为作为主席听取了所有证词和论点;委员会多数经过深思熟虑,报告反对这项法案。
