《穷人理查德年鉴》 Poor Richards Almanack(穷查理年鉴) BENJAMIN FRANKLIN 班哲明．富兰克林 班哲明．富兰克林(1706－1790)是有史以来最杰出的美国人之一。他是作家、印刷商、政治家、外交家、教育家、发明家、哲学家、幽默大师、企业家、店主、公民领袖、科学家、自学成才者、公务员、民族英雄，富兰克林尝试了各种事业并在所有这些方面都取得辉煌的成就。他作的年鉴是作为一个虚构的理查德．桑德斯(因此叫穷理查)的著作从1733－1758年在费城年年发表。这些年鉴在殖民地居民中极受欢迎。典型的年鉴包含有日历、天气预测，忠告、食谱以及其它许多有用的知识。穷理查的谚语、格言和箴言有的是他自己创作的，有的不是。它们使富兰克林实用、宽容和令人快活的妙语和哲学得到传播普及。以下是穷理查几百条谚语和评论中选出的格言。 The poor have little, beggars none, the rich too much, enough not one. He that lies down with Dogs, shall rise up with fleas. Men and melons are hard to know. Take this remark from Richard poor and lame. Whateers begun in anger ends in sham. No man eer was glorious, who was not laborious. All things are easy to Industry. All things are difficult to sloth Would you persuade, speak of Interest, not Reason. Teach your child to hold his tongue, hell learn fast enough to speak. He that cannot obey, cannot command. The magistrate should obey the Laws, the people should obey the magistrate. He that waits upon a Fortune, is never sure of a Dinner. 穷人几乎没有，乞丐一无所有，富人拥有太多，没人会说够了。 与狗一起躺下的人，起来时满身跳蚤。 唯人与瓜难知。 请听又穷又破的理查德一句话， 凡以愤怒开始的事必以耻辱告终。 凡不勤勉的人，决不会有荣誉。 勤则万事易，懒则万事难。 要想说服人家，应晓之以利，而非以理。 教你孩子缄默，他很快就学会说话。 不能服从的人，就不能指挥。 法官应服从法律，人民应服从法官。 守株待兔者，美餐无保证。 A learned blockhead is a greater blockhead than an ignorant one. Keep thy shop, and thy shop will keep thee. Three may keep a secret if two of them are dead. Early to bed and early to rise, makes a man healthy wealthy and wise. To be humble to Superiors is Duty, to Equals Courtesy, to Inferiors Nobleness. If you know how to spend less than you get, you have the Philosophers Stone. Fish Visitors stink in 3 days. He that has neither fools, whores nor beggars among his kindred, is the son of a thunder gust. Diligence is the Mother of Good Luck. He that lives upon Hope, dies farting. Do not do that which you would not have known. Wealth is not his that has it, vut his that enjoys it. Now Ive a sheep and a cow, every body bids me good morrow. 有知识的傻瓜比没知识的傻瓜更糟。 你把商店管好，商店管你吃饱。 如果三人
