章節(jié)摘錄

  Twyford, at the Bishop of St. Asaph s, 1771 DEAR SON,  I HAVE ever had pleasure in obtaining any little anecdotes of my ancestors. You may remember the inquiries I made among the remains of my relations when you were with me in England, and the journey I undertook for that purpose. Imagining it may be equally a-greeable to some of you to know the circumstances of my life, many of which you are yet unacquainted with, and expecting the enjoyment of a week s uninterrupted leisure in my present country retirement, I sit down to write them for you. To which I have besides some other inducements. Having emerged from the poverty and obscurity in which I was born and bred, to a state of affluence and some degree of reputation in the world, and having gone so far through life with a considerable share of felicity, the conducing means I made use of,  (1771年,寫于都懷伏特鎮(zhèn),圣阿薩夫主教家)  親愛的孩子:  我一直對收集祖上的各種奇聞軼事相當感興趣,樂此不彼。我就曾經(jīng)為了這個目的而四出旅行,你可能還記得,當我們在英國的時候,我就經(jīng)常向我們家族中的老人們詢問、調(diào)查有關(guān)這個方面的情況。我覺得,同樣,你們中的一些人可能也很想知道我的生活情況(就好比 我渴望知道我的先人的生活一樣),因為這其中的很多事情你們是并不清楚的。正好,我現(xiàn)在有一個星期的休假時間,預(yù)計在這一個星期的鄉(xiāng)村假期里是沒有什么東西會來打擾我的。因而,我可以坐下來把我……  which with the blessing of God so well succeeded, my posterity may like to know, as they may find some of them suitable to their own situations, and therefore fit to be imitated.  That felicity, when I reflected on it, has induced me sometimes to say, that were it offered to my choice, I should have no objection to a repetition of the same life from its beginning, only asking the advantages authors have in a second edition to correct some faults of the first. So I might, besides correcting the faults, change some sinister accidents and events of it for others more favorable. But though this were denied, I should still accept the offer. Since such a repetition is not to be expected, the next thing most like living one s life over again seems to be a recollection of that life, and to make that recollection as durable as possible by putting it down in writing.Hereby, too, I shall indulge the inclination so natural in old men, to be talking of themselves and their own past actions; and I shall indulge it without being tiresome to others, who, through respect to age, might conceive themselves obliged to give me a hear-ing, since this may be read or not as any one pleases. And, lastly (I may as well confess it, since my denial of it will be believed by  的生活情況原原本本的告訴你。其實,寫這些東西,我還有另外一個目的。我出身貧賤,后來才在這個世界上獲得了財富和榮譽,為世人所稱道。上帝保佑,我至今一帆風順,萬事如意。我的處世之道如此成功,我的后世子孫也許想知道它們,并且找到些和他們的境況相適應(yīng)的立身之術(shù),然后模仿它們?! ‘斘一赝?、審視這種幸福的時候,我有時候禁不住會想,如果上帝再給我一次機會的話,我回毫不猶豫地重新度過我的此生,一切從頭開始。我只要求像作家那樣,在修訂版本的時候可以改正初版的某些錯誤,把某些不幸的事情變得稍微順利些。但是,要是我的這些要求都不被接受的話,我仍然愿意接受上帝的恩賜,按照我原來的樣子重新活過一次。事實上既然這種重來是不可能的,那么最接近這種重演的好像只有回憶了。為了讓這種回憶盡可能地保持久遠,就只好把它用筆記下來了?! ≡谶@里我將順著老年人常有的偏好,來談?wù)勊麄冏约?,談?wù)勊麄冞^去的所作所為。我這樣做,將不會使那些尊敬老人的人感到厭煩,他

  •     From The Autobiography, we can see that some virtues of Franklin have formed since he was a child. It tells us how he taught himself and became a great man. His progress of success warned the youths that they should work hard to get happiness.    Franklin’s language is plain and clear, vivid and natural, fluent and powerful. He liked the Pilgrim’s Progress very much. John Bunyan’s works had great influence on his writing. As he reading more and more, Franklin’s thirst for knowledge increased. He saved every penny to buy books to read and he didn’t idle away any time at something meaningless. That’s the virtues of frugality and industry he had.    Every young man has ever had desire for adventures; there is no exception for Benjamin Franklin. He “had a hankering for the sea”. Fortunately, his father put him to be a printer. This job made him have more chance to acquaint people who were helpful and knowledgeable. He “had access to more and better books”. Being an apprentice, he had not enough time to read. He was always employed in working and reading. His studious habit helped him all the time.    Two occasional ballads’ success has ever flattered his vanity. His father corrected his attitude for being a poet in time. This matter taught him humility. While his advancement in prose writing derived from the disputation between John Collins and him. Their correspondence about the discussion helped him get improvement in writing. His father’s justice remarks about his writing made him write more exact and elegance.    This extract states only a short trip of his life; but it reflects the long progress of shaking off difficulties and troubles to seek success and happiness. His endeavor at advancement and improvement mirrors all the Americans’ pursuing free and lofty goals.
  •   A clear road----correct, and look forward,and keep going
  •   free and lofty
