塞缪尔·斯迈尔斯《节俭》· Thrift · 投资

Martha Crossley, the future wife of John Crossley, was born at Folly Hall, near the Ambler Thorn Bar. Her great-grandfather, Thomas Turner, was a farmer. He lived at the Upper Scout Hall, Shibden, and the farm-house which he occupied, at the head of the Shibden Valley, is still in existence. The eldest son was brought up to his father's business. The youngest son, Abraham, was brought up to farming, weaving, and combing. He married, and had three children--Abraham, Thomas, and Martha. Abraham, the eldest, was father of Mrs. John Crossley, _née_ Turner.

白话

约翰·克罗斯利未来的妻子玛莎·克罗斯利,出生在安布勒索恩巴尔附近的福利厅。她的曾祖父托马斯·特纳是个农夫,住在希布登的上斯科特厅,那栋农舍至今还在。托马斯的大儿子继承父业务农,小儿子亚伯拉罕则务农、织布、梳毛样样都干。亚伯拉罕结婚后生了三个孩子:亚伯拉罕、托马斯和玛莎。其中长子亚伯拉罕就是约翰·克罗斯利夫人(娘家姓特纳)的父亲。这段家谱说明,当时普通人家往往多种营生并举,不把鸡蛋放一个篮子;今天我们也应培养多种技能,增强抗风险能力。
