People don't often look back on the early 1900's for advice, but what if we could actually learn something from the Lost Generation?
通常人们不会为了求取生活妙方而去回顾20世纪初的年代，不过如果那个“垮掉的一代”真的能对我们有所助益呢？

The New York Public Library has digitized 100 "how to do it" cards found in cigarette boxes over 100 years ago, and the tips they give are so practical that millennials reading this might want to take notes.
纽约公共图书馆将一组100多年前的香烟盒上的“生活妙招”卡片进行了数字化处理，这些卡片上的小贴士实在太实用了，二十一世纪的我们看到了也会多加留意！

How to Judge the Weather
如何判断天气

The traveller, setting off in the early morning, will find a fairly sure guide as to the weather he is likely to encounter by watching a very small distant cloud.
一早外出游玩的人想要知道自己会遇到什么样的天气，只要看看远处的小云朵，就能找到一位可靠的向导。

If the cloud grows gradually larger, then unsettled, rainy weather will probably come.
如果这片云逐渐扩大，那么，在旅行者找到安身之处之前，阴雨就会降临。

But if the cloud decreases in size, the day should be a fine one.
如果要是云朵变小了，那么这一定是一个好天气。
