P.T. 巴纳姆:奋斗与胜利·补录 70

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

We began our performances at West Springfield, April 28th, and as our expected band of music had not arrived from Providence, I made a prefatory speech announcing our disappointment, and our intention to please our patrons, nevertheless. The two Turner boys, sons of the proprietor, rode finely. Joe Pentland, one of the wittiest, best, and most original of clowns, with Vivalla’s tricks and other performances in the ring, more than made up for the lack of music. In a day or two our band arrived and our “houses” improved. My diary is full of incidents of our summer tour through numerous villages, towns, and cities in New England, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, District of Columbia, Virginia, and North Carolina.

白话

4月28日,马戏团在西春田开始演出。原定从普罗维登斯来的乐队没到,巴纳姆就上台向观众说明情况,并承诺依然会让大家满意。特纳的两个儿子骑马表演很精彩,小丑乔·彭特兰风趣幽默,加上维瓦拉的杂技和其他节目,弥补了没有音乐的缺憾。一两天后乐队赶到,上座率也提高了。巴纳姆的日记记满了整个夏季巡演中的见闻,他们走遍了新英格兰、纽约、新泽西、宾夕法尼亚、特拉华、马里兰、哥伦比亚特区、弗吉尼亚和北卡罗来纳的许多城镇乡村。这说明遇到意外时,坦诚沟通并靠现有资源把事做好,往往能稳住局面。

上下文

同样出自巴纳姆自传,讲述他随马戏团巡演时如何应对突发状况。

今日一问

当计划中的关键资源没到位时,你会先抱怨,还是像巴纳姆一样坦诚说明并想办法补上?
