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 agreeable to [2] 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, 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.

白话

富兰克林写自传时,先对儿子说明动机:他从小穷苦无名,后来变得富裕且有声誉,一生多半顺遂。他想把成功所用的方法记下来,因为后代可能遇到类似处境,可以挑选适合自己的做法去模仿。他趁乡间退休有一周空闲,坐下来写。核心是:经验值得传递,但并非让人照搬,而是提供可参考的样本。做法上,他把自己当成案例,讲清手段与结果,让读者自己判断取舍。

上下文

这是《富兰克林自传》开篇,他以书信体写给儿子,时值他晚年从公共事务退居乡间。

今日一问

你有哪些亲身验证过的做法,值得写下来给后来者参考?
