P.T. 巴纳姆:奋斗与胜利·补录 673

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

These railroad gentlemen absolutely deny any intention of raising the fares of commuters, and profess to think it very hard that disinterested and conscientious gentlemen like them should be judged by the doings of the Hudson River and Harlem Railroads. But now, Mr Speaker, I am going to expose the duplicity of these men. I have had detectives on their track, for men who plot against public interests deserve to be watched. I have in my pocket positive proofs that they did, and do, intend to spring their trap upon the unprotected commuters on the New York and New Haven Railroad.

白话

铁路绅士们绝对否认有意提高通勤票价,并声称像他们这样无私尽责的绅士,被哈德逊河和哈莱姆铁路公司的行为所评判,实在冤枉。但巴纳姆说,他现在要揭露这些人的口是心非。他派侦探跟踪他们,因为危害公共利益的阴谋者值得被监视。他口袋里有确凿证据,证明他们过去和现在都打算对纽约和纽黑文铁路上没有保护的通勤者设下陷阱。巴纳姆以此证明铁路公司的承诺不可信,必须通过法律来保护乘客。

上下文

巴纳姆在辩论高潮中出示证据,揭露铁路公司表面承诺不涨价、暗中却计划涨价。

今日一问

你曾遇到过口头承诺与实际行动不符的情况吗?你如何验证对方的真实意图?
