Thus refreshed, I walked again up the street, which by this time had many clean-dressed people in it, who were all walking the same way. I joined them, and thereby was led into the great meeting-house of the Quakers near the market. I sat down among them, and, after looking round awhile and hearing nothing said, being very drowsy thro' labor and want of rest the preceding night, I fell fast asleep, and continued so till the meeting broke up, when one was kind enough to rouse me. This was, therefore, the first house I was in, or slept in, in Philadelphia.

白话

富兰克林在费城街上走,看见许多衣着整洁的人朝同一方向去,就跟着进了市场附近的贵格会大聚会所。他坐下四望,没人讲话,因为前一夜没睡好又干了不少活,困得不行,竟呼呼大睡,直到散会才被一位好心人叫醒。所以,他在费城进的第一间屋子、睡的第一觉,竟是在教堂里。这段自嘲式的回忆说明:初到陌生地方,不必装模作样,跟着人群走也能误打误撞找到落脚处;而疲惫时出点洋相,日后回想反而是有趣的故事。

上下文

富兰克林初到费城,身无分文、疲惫不堪,误入贵格会聚会所并睡着,这是他在这座城市的第一个落脚点。

今日一问

你初到新环境时,会不会因为怕出丑而不敢放松?其实出点小洋相又怎样?
