Unit 1 Personal Identification and people个人情况与人们 Monologue Hints: Benjamin Franklin Philadelphia "Poor Richard's Almanac."
Franklin left school when he was ten and worked for his father for two years. Then he went to work on his brother's newspaper. He became the editor of this paper when he was 16. He went to Philadelphia then and bought his own newspaper. He worked hard and by the age of 24 he was one of the most successful men there. In 1732 Franklin published a book "Poor Richard's Almanac." Most almanacs contained information for farmers, such as information about the days and weeks of the year and about the weather. To his almanac, Franklin added wise sayings of observations about life. Some of these sayings are still famous today. For example, "Early to bed, early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise," and "Waste not, want not, "and" A penny saved is a penny earned."
富兰克林十岁时离开了学校并为他父亲工作了2年。随后他开始为他兄弟经营报纸生意。16岁时成为报刊的编辑。之后他去了费城，开始创办自己的报纸。由于其辛勤的工作，24岁时他已经成为当地名人之一。1732年，富兰克林出版了一本名为“贫穷的理查德年历”的书。这份年历中包含的信息主要来自于农民，比如年月和天气。富兰克林在观察生活的同时进行了睿智评论了，其中一些评论至今为人津津乐道。比如：“早睡早起，强身富家健脑”“俭以防匮”“省一分钱就是赚一分钱” ——译文来自: sunny_day_
