My father, tho' he did not approve Sir William's proposition, was yet pleas'd that I had been able to obtain so advantageous a character from a person of such note where I had resided, and that I had been so industrious and careful as to equip myself so handsomely in so short a time; therefore, seeing no prospect of an accommodation between my brother and me, he gave his consent to my returning again to Philadelphia, advis'd me to behave respectfully to the people there, endeavor to obtain the general esteem, and avoid lampooning and libeling, to which he thought I had too much inclination; telling me, that by steady industry and a prudent parsimony I might save enough by the time I was one-and-twenty to set me up; and that, if I came near the matter, he would help me out with the rest. This was all I could obtain, except some small gifts as tokens of his and my mother's love, when I embark'd again for New York, now with their approbation and their blessing.

白话

富兰克林的父亲虽然不赞成总督的提议,但高兴的是儿子能在居住地得到如此显要人物的好评,并且靠勤劳和谨慎在短时间内把自己装备得如此体面;因此,看到兄弟俩和好无望,他同意富兰克林重返费城,建议他尊重那里的人,努力获得普遍尊重,避免讽刺和诽谤——他认为富兰克林太倾向于此;告诉他,靠稳定的勤劳和谨慎的节俭,到二十一岁时可能攒够钱自己开业;如果差不多,父亲会帮他补足。这是富兰克林所能得到的全部,除了父母作为爱的信物给的一些小礼物。他再次启程去纽约,这次得到了父母的认可和祝福。

上下文
