本杰明·富兰克林自传·补录 57 · 本杰明·富兰克林

Mr. Denham took a store in Water-street, where we open'd our goods; I attended the business diligently, studied accounts, and grew, in a little time, expert at selling. We lodg'd and boarded together; he counsell'd me as a father, having a sincere regard for me. I respected and lov'd him, and we might have gone on together very happy; but, in the beginning of February, 1726-7, when I had just pass'd my twenty-first year, we both were taken ill. My distemper was a pleurisy, which very nearly carried me off. I suffered a good deal, gave up the point in my own mind, and was rather disappointed when I found myself recovering, regretting, in some degree, that I must now, some time or other, have all that disagreeable work to do over again. I forget what his distemper was; it held him a long time, and at length carried him off. He left me a small legacy in a nuncupative will, as a token of his kindness for me, and he left me once more to the wide world; for the store was taken into the care of his executors, and my employment under him ended.

白话

德纳姆先生在沃特街开了家店，我们摆出货物。我勤快照看生意，学习记账，很快精通了销售。我们同住同吃，他像父亲一样待我，真心关心我。我敬爱他，本可以一直愉快地合作下去。但1726-7年2月初，我刚满二十一岁，我们俩都病倒了。我得的是胸膜炎，差点要命。我痛苦不堪，心里已经放弃，结果发现自己好转时反而有点失望，因为想到将来某天还得把那些难受的事再经历一遍。我忘了德纳姆先生得的是什么病，他病了很久，最终去世。他在口头遗嘱里给我留了一小笔遗产，作为对我好意的纪念，也把我再次抛向广阔世界，因为店铺由他的遗嘱执行人接管，我在他手下的工作结束了。

如果你曾像富兰克林那样在病中感到“解脱”的念头，后来是如何调整心态的？

健康 · 神农（旧题）《神农本草经》

商陸味辛平。主治水脹，疝瘕痹，熨除癰腫。殺鬼精物。一名垰根，一名夜呼。生川谷。

商陆这味药，味辛性平。主要能治水肿胀满，以及疝气、腹中结块、痹症；外敷可以消除痈肿。还能驱除鬼怪邪祟。它又叫垰根、夜呼，生长在山川河谷。古人认为水肿多因水湿停聚，商陆能通利二便，把多余的水排出去，所以能消水胀。疝瘕痹是气血不通造成的结块和疼痛，商陆辛散能通。痈肿热毒，用商陆捣烂外敷，能消肿散结。杀鬼精物是古代对不明原因急症的解释，实际是强调它能祛邪。注意商陆有毒，内服需炮制，外用较安全。今天遇到水肿、痈肿，可考虑在医生指导下使用，但切勿自行乱用。

投资 · 陈梦雷等（编）《钦定古今图书集成·食货典》

貢助徹皆便於民，不奢不儉；租庸調悉寬其法，欲逸欲安。」「持界限以素嚴，立經制而益謹。無甚富甚貧之弊，見謂均平；縱近臣近親之家，莫敢踰越。」方坐致豳原之化，乃祈歸堯壤之耕。亟示勉留，爰加優渥。品特升於華戟，廩爰賦於真宮。少酬在畝之懷，終冀惠疇之用。矧維揚之重鎮，實今「日之要區。未雨綢繆，合謹本根之備；及時閒暇，當為兵食之圖。顧惟禮耕義種之賢，足副內修外攘之志。統綏疆埸，申畫郊圻。省騎墾湟，宜舉充國破羌之策；分兵闢渭，必循孔明定蜀之規。」…

制书继续称赞：贡、助、彻法都便民，不奢不俭；租庸调法宽简，让人安逸。田万顷持界限严，立制度谨，使无甚富甚贫之弊，人称均平；近臣近亲也不敢逾越。他正可坐致豳原之化，却请求归耕。朝廷勉留，加优渥，升品级、赋真宫，稍酬其志。况且扬州是重镇要区，未雨绸缪，应谨本根之备；及时闲暇，当为兵食之图。他礼耕义种，足副内修外攘之志。统绥疆场，申画郊圻。省骑垦湟，宜举赵充国破羌之策；分兵辟渭，必循孔明定蜀之规。以农具执戈殳，以蓑衣行甲胄。

事业 · 布克·T·华盛顿《力争上游》

I think I was even more surprised to receive this invitation than I had been to receive the invitation to speak at the opening of the Exposition. It was to be a part of my duty, as one of the jurors, to pass not only…

布克·华盛顿收到评审邀请比收到演讲邀请更惊讶，因为评审不仅要看黑人学校，还要看白人学校。他接受了，在亚特兰大工作了一个月。评审团共六十人，南方白人和北方白人各半，包括大学校长、科学家、作家和专家。他所在的分组开会时，作家托马斯·纳尔逊·佩奇提议他当秘书，全票通过。分组里近半是南方人。他检查白人学校展品时处处受到尊重，结束时与同事依依不舍。
