P.T. 巴纳姆:奋斗与胜利·补录 94

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

What was to be done next? I dreaded resuming the life of an itinerant showman, but funds were low, I had a family to care for, and as nothing better presented I made up my mind to endure the vexations and uncertainties of a tour in the West and South. I collected a company, consisting of Mr. C. D. Jenkins, an excellent singer and delineator of Yankee and other characters; Master John Diamond, the dancer; Francis Lynch, an orphan vagabond, fourteen years old, whom I picked up at Troy, and a fiddler. My brother-in-law, Mr. John Hallett, preceded us as agent and advertiser, and our route passed through Buffalo, Toronto, Detroit, Chicago, Ottawa, Springfield, the intermediate places, and St. Louis, where I took the steamboat for New Orleans with a company reduced by desertions to Master Diamond and the fiddler.

白话

接下来怎么办?巴纳姆不想再当巡回演出的班主,但钱快花光了,还有一家人要养,没别的出路,只好硬着头皮去西部和南部巡演。他组了个班子:歌手詹金斯、舞者戴蒙德、在特洛伊捡来的十四岁孤儿弗朗西斯·林奇,还有一个拉小提琴的。他姐夫哈利特打前站做宣传。路线经过布法罗、多伦多、底特律、芝加哥等地,最后到圣路易斯。结果人跑得只剩戴蒙德和琴师,他只好带着这两个人坐船去新奥尔良。这说明:资源不够时,先活下来,边做边调整,别等万事俱备。

上下文

巴纳姆在自传中讲述1840年前后为生计所迫,组织小型演出团去西部南部巡演的经历。

今日一问

当你资源不足、条件不完美时,是继续等,还是先小步启动、边做边补?
