American literatureChapter 1 The Embryo of American Literature1、Benjamin FranklinA Brief Introduction of Benjamin FranklinFranklin was one of the leading founding fathers of the United States of America. He was a member of the committee that drafted the Declaration of Independence and was one of its signatories(签名人)。
He also signed the Constitution of the United States, and served as the new nation’s ablest diplomat. Franklin was also unequaled in America as an inventor until Thomas Edison. He invented the Franklin stove(火炉，窖，温室)，bifocal eyeglasses and the lightning rod.※BiographyBenjamin Franklin was born on January 17,1706 in Boston, Massachusetts. He was the youngest child ,and tenth boy of 17 children. Franklin’s formal schooling ended early but his education never did. He believed that “the door to wisdom are never shut,” and read every book he could get his hands on. Franklin taught himself simple algebra and geometry ,navigation, logic, history, science, English grammar and a working knowledge of five other languages.Franklin had a simple formula for success. He believed that successful people worked just a little harder than other people. Benjamin Franklin certainly did. He built a successful printing and publishing business in Philadelphia; he conducted scientific studies of electricity and made several important discoveries; he was an accomplished diplomat and statesman; he helped establish Pennsylvania’s first university and America’s first city hospital. He also organized the country’s first subscription library.Franklin had strong belief that good citizenship included an obligation of public service. Franklin himself served the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and the new United States of America, in one way or the other, for most of his life. To Benjamin Franklin there was no greater purpose in life than to“live usefully.”※The Works·Poor Richard’s Almanac.1733·The Way to Wealth,1758·Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin ，1791·Benjamin Franklin’s Thirteen Virtues1TEMPERANCE.

Imitate Jesus and Socrates.※Selected ReadingToo Dear for the WhistleWhen I was a child of seven years old , my friends , on a holiday ,filled my pocket with coppers . I went at once to a shop where they sold toys for children . Being charmed with the sound of a whistle that I had seen by the way , in the hands of another boy , I handed over all my money for one . I then came home , went whistling all over house , much pleased with my whistle , but disturbing all my family .My brother and sister and cousins ,when I told of the bargain I had made,said I had given four times as much as the whistle was worth . They put me in mind of what good things I might have bought with the rest of the money, and laughed at me so much for my folly that I cried with vexation(n.苦恼，恼怒，令人烦恼的事) . Thinking about the matter gave me more chagrin than the whistle gave me pleasure.This , however , was afterwards of use to me , for the impression continued on my mind . so that often , when I was tempted to buy something I do not need . I said to myself . “Don't give too much for the whistle ,”and I saved my money . As I grew up , came into the world，and observed the actions of men . I thought I met with many ,very many ,who “gave too much for the whistle .”When I saw some man too eager for cout favour, wasting his time at court getherings ,giving up his rest , his liberty ,his virtue, and perhaps his friends ,for royal favour , I said to myself “This man gives too much for the whistle.”When I saw another fond of popularity , constantly taking part in political affairs ,neglecting his own business ,and ruining it by neglect , “He pays , indeed ,”said I , “too dear for his whistle .”If I knew a miser（守财奴，吝啬鬼）who gave up every kind of comfortable living , all the pleasure of doing good to others , all the esteem of his fellow citizens and the joys of friendship , for the sake of gathering and keeping wealth —“Poor man.”said I , “you pay too dear for your whistle .”When I met a man of pleasure , who did not try to improve his mind or his fortune but merely devoted himself to having a good time ,perhaps neglecting his health ,“Mistaken man,”said I , “you are providing pain for yourself , instead of pleasure ; you are paying too dear for your whistle .”If I saw someone fond of appearance of who had fine clothes , fine houses , fine furniture , fine earrings , all above his fortune , and for which he had run into debt ,and ends his career in a prison .“Alas,”said I , “he has paid dear , very dear , for his whistle . ”In short the miseries of mankind are largely due to their putting a false value on things —to giving “too much for their whistles”.。

Gulf Stream
墨西哥湾流 简称湾流，是大西洋上重要的洋流， 以及全球最大的洋流。起源于墨西哥 湾，经过佛罗里达海峡沿着美国的东 部海域与加拿大纽芬兰省向北，最后 跨越北大西洋通往北极海。在大约北 纬40度西经30度左右的地方，墨西哥 湾流分支成两股分支，北分支跨入欧 洲的海域，成为北大西洋暖流，南分 支经由西非重新回到赤道。
表兄告诉富兰克林从英国开往美洲的商船一般都会选择避开湾流的航线行驶而邮政船则总是在流速达3节的湾流中逆流行驶因此邮政船在海上的航行时间一般要比商船长一些

关于本杰明富兰克林的英语作文
关于本杰明富兰克林的英语作文题目：Benjamin Franklin: An Inspiring Portrait of Ingenuity, Virtue, and Civic LeadershipBenjamin Franklin, a luminary figure in American history, was a polymath whose multifaceted contributions to science, politics, literature, and society continue to resonate with profound relevance in the modern era. Born on January 17, 1706, in Boston, Massachusetts, to humble beginnings as the son of a candle and soap maker, Franklin's life journey exemplifies the transformative power of self-education, industriousness, and civic engagement. This essay explores the key facets of Franklin's extraordinary life, underscoring his lasting legacy as an innovator, moral philosopher, and one of America's most beloved Founding Fathers.A Life of Self-Made GeniusFranklin's insatiable thirst for knowledge and his commitment to self-improvement were hallmarks of his character from an early age. Despite limited formal education, he diligently taught himself through voracious reading, observation, and experimentation. His intellectual curiosity led him to explore diverse fields, including electricity, meteorology, and oceanography, making groundbreaking discoveries thatreshaped scientific understanding. Most famously, his kite experiment in 1752 confirmed the connection between lightning and electricity, paving the way for the development of the lightning rod and earning him international acclaim.Beyond his scientific pursuits, Franklin was a prolific writer and publisher. He founded the _Pennsylvania Gazette_ and authored the iconic _Poor Richard's Almanack_, which not only provided practical information but also dispensed witty and enduring aphorisms on frugality, industry, and moral rectitude. These works, along with his later autobiography, serve as testament to his literary prowess and continue to inspire readers worldwide with their timeless wisdom.Virtuous Living and the Pursuit of Moral PerfectionFranklin's dedication to personal betterment extended beyond intellectual pursuits. He developed a system of 13 virtues, which he meticulously tracked and strove to embody in his daily life. These virtues—such as temperance, silence, order, resolution, and humility—reflected his belief in the transformative power of disciplined self-reflection and habit formation. His efforts to cultivate these qualities in himself became a model for self-improvement, demonstrating the possibility of refining character and fostering civic virtuethrough conscious effort.Public Servant and Diplomat ExtraordinaireFranklin's impact on American history extends far beyond his scientific and literary achievements. A steadfast advocate for colonial unity, he played a pivotal role in the movement towards independence from Great Britain. As a member of the Continental Congress, he helped draft the Declaration of Independence, and his diplomatic skills proved invaluable in securing French support during the Revolutionary War. His diplomatic tenure in France, marked by charm, wit, and strategic acumen, solidified his reputation as one of the nation's premier statesmen.Post-independence, Franklin contributed significantly to the drafting and ratification of the United States Constitution, serving as a delegate to the Constitutional Convention. His persuasive writing, particularly in the form of _The Federalist Papers_, helped garner public support for the new charter of government. His advocacy for a strong central government, balanced by checks and balances to protect individual liberties, remains a cornerstone of American constitutional thought.Legacy and InfluenceBenjamin Franklin's life and accomplishments stand as atestament to the power of individual initiative, lifelong learning, and civic engagement. His relentless pursuit of knowledge, commitment to self-improvement, and dedication to the common good have made him an enduring symbol of the American spirit. His writings, inventions, and diplomatic achievements continue to shape our understanding of science, ethics, and governance, while his practical wisdom and wit remain a source of inspiration for generations.In sum, Benjamin Franklin embodies the ideal of the Renaissance man, seamlessly blending intellectual curiosity, moral rectitude, and public service. His remarkable life serves as a beacon for all who aspire to make meaningful contributions to society, reminding us that greatness can arise from humble origins, and that through discipline, ingenuity, and a deep commitment to the betterment of humanity, one person can truly leave an indelible mark on history.。

我们如何去界定本杰明·富兰克林（1706 － 1790）？一位科学家，
一位教育家，一位商人，一位作家，还是一位慈善家？ 本杰明·富兰克林出生于美国东北部城市波士顿的一个商人家庭。 小时候，富兰克林就在其父亲—— 一个肥皂和蜡烛制作商的作坊里 干活。但是，富兰克林不喜欢干这活，因为他喜欢读书学习。于是， 12 岁那年，小富兰克林迁徙到另一个地方，帮他同父异母的哥哥詹姆斯 —— 一个印刷所的老板干活。在那个印刷所，小富兰克林从书中学了很 多东西。他甚至熬夜阅读。 经过三年的努力，富兰克林开始出版报纸。他所出版的报纸内容诙 谐幽默，充满了对波士顿的仔细观察，因此读者很快就非常喜欢他出版 的这份报纸。 几年后，富兰克林前往当时美国最大的城市——纽约。然而，正应 了一句古话：“万事开头难。”刚开始，富兰克林在纽约连一份新工作 都找不到。但是，他在纽约交了很多朋友。两年后，富兰克林结婚了， 并开设了他人生中的第一间印刷所。 不久，富兰克林成为一位有名的作家。然而，由于他在电力与气象 观察领域所做出的巨大贡献，今天的我们只知道富兰克林是一位发明家。 富兰克林享年 84 岁，其墓碑上只留给我们这样一句话：“印刷工 本杰明·富兰克林”。

(完整版)富兰克林英文介绍
Benjamin Franklin (January 17, 1706–April 17, 1790) was one of the Founding Fathers of the United States. A noted polymath, Franklin was a leading author and printer, political theorist, politician, postmaster, scientist, inventor, satirist, civic activist, statesman, and diplomat. As a scientist, he was a major figure in the American Enlightenment and the history of physics for his discoveries and theo-ries regarding electricity. He invented the lightning rod, bifocals, the Franklin stove, a carriage odometer, and the glass 'armonica'. He formed both the first public lending library in America and the first fire department in Pennsylvania. Franklin earned the title of "The First American" for his early and indefatigable campaigning for colonial unity; as an author and spokesman in London for sev-eral colonies, then as the first United States Ambassador to France, he exempli-fied the emerging American nation. Franklin was foundational in defining the American ethos as a marriage of the practical and democratic values of thrift, hard work, education, community spirit, self-governing institutions, and opposi-tion to authoritarianism both political and religious, with the scientific and toler-ant values of the Enlightenment. In the words of historian Henry Steele Com-mager, "In a Franklin could be merged the virtues of Puritanism without its de-fects, the illumination of the Enlightenment without its heat."To Walter Isaacson, this makes Franklin "the most accomplished American of his age and the most in-fluential in inventing the type of society America would become."Franklin, always proud of his working class roots, became a successful newspa-per editor and printer in Philadelphia, the leading city in the colonies. He was also partners with William Goddard and Joseph Galloway the three of whom published the Pennsylvania Chronicle, a newspaper that was known for its revo-lutionary sentiments and criticisms of the British monarchy in the American col-onies.He became wealthy publishing Poor Richard's Almanack and The Pennsyl-vania Gazette. Franklin gained international renown as a scientist for his famous experiments in electricity and for his many inventions, especially the lightning rod. He played a major role in establishing the University of Pennsylvania and was elected the first president of the American Philosophical Society. Franklin became a national hero in America when he spearheaded the effort to have Par-liament repeal the unpopular Stamp Act. An accomplished diplomat, he was widely admired among the French as American minister to Paris and was a ma-jor figure in the development of positive Franco-American relations. For many years he was the British postmaster for the colonies, which enabled him to set up the first national communications network. He was active in community affairs, colonial and state politics, as well as national and international affairs. From 1785 to 1788, he served as governor of Pennsylvania. Toward the end of his life, he freed his slaves and became one of the most prominent abolitionists.His colorful life and legacy of scientific and political achievement, and status as one of America's most influential Founding Fathers, have seen Franklin honored on coinage and money; warships; the names of many towns, counties, educa-tional institutions, namesakes, and companies; and more than two centuries af-ter his death, countless cultural references.Book reportFranklin was not in favorable growth environment, and it should be a relatively plain appearance. In 1706 he was in North America, the home of 17 children. His father is involved in wax and soap as a small businessman, Franklin entered the school for about two years before dropping out of school because of family dis-tress. Then he went to work as an apprentice in his brother’s shop, the apprentice days was very difficult, but he did a good use of the apprenticeship leisure time to study hard, and read a lot of books in politics, science, history and literature. He was also proficient in the use of French, Italian, Spanish and Latin.In 1726 Franklin manages a printing factory, it was a great success which created a legend of the American dream, and he printed a huge impact “Pennsylvania”. He invented the lightning rod, dual-purpose glasses, new stove and new lights. He pi-oneered the North American colonies the slogan that is “not join the death”and drafted out the drafting of “Declaration of Independence”published in 1771 which changed the fate of countless people, and this book gave a description of its pro-cess of growth and exhorted the people to be positive.(换ppt)There are a lot of Proverbs in this book that Franklin felt in his life, reading this book is not only to feel the sentiment, but also to combine their training and hu-manity and then to improve ourselves, the book describes each chapter are a true portrayal of his life and tell us how to get all the perception which inspired me very much.In his view, reading is the key to success. Books give us wisdom, strengthen our determination and let us have the wisdom of the trip of our life.Franklin attaches great importance to his virtue. Therefore, he proposed to 13 re-quirements for himself namely: control, quiet, orderly life, determination, frugal-ity, diligence, sincerity, justice, moderation, cleanliness, tranquility, chastity and humility. He has been trying to do that, though he cannot completely meet all the requirements, but he was persistent. The people who can meet the 13 require-ments can be called “saints”of the fact that people are rarely perfect, but it can pursue such a perfect people in the United States and Germany who have achieved great success.Franklin was revered as the father of America for his impressive image that can maintain a frugal life style of work for the public welfare and make immortal con-tributions, compared to the majority of people we can knew how impetuous we are.(huan)In this clear, crisply written story of his life, Benjamin Franklin shows the reader what his childhood was like and what he came to value as meaningful and worth-while techniques of communication, conduct, and self-improvement. A conscien-tious and serious youth, Franklin nevertheless left his boyhood town because he had impregnated a young lady. This early act of responsibility led him to pursue work that led him, in the coming years of the American Revolution, to be a strong advocate of political independence, even at the cost of war. Franklin became as fine a statesman as ever the United States was to produce. One of the country's founding fathers and a tireless champion of individual liberty, he also served as the American ambassador to France. He tells of how he learned the printing trade and how he established "Poor Richard's Almanac." He also shares with hisreaders his hopes for the free country that he helped to bring into being. The reader cannot help but admire this brilliant and brave founding father, as much for his humility as for his services to his country and its future citizens. (huan)名言Silence is not always a sign of wisdom, but babbling is ever a folly.沉默并不是智慧的标志，但唠叨永远是一项蠢行。

1平庸的人最大缺点是常常觉得自己比别人高明。
2懒惰，像生锈一样，比操劳更能消耗身体，经常用的钥匙总是亮闪闪的。
3命运的变化犹如月之圆缺，对智者无妨害。
4我未曾见过一个早起、勤奋、谨慎、诚实的人抱怨命运不好；良好的品格，优良的习惯，坚强的意志，是不会被假设所谓的命运击败的。
5失足可以很快弥补，失言却可能永远无法补救。
6傻瓜的心在嘴里，聪明人的嘴在心里。
7 骄傲者憎恨他人骄傲。
8最难抑制的情感是骄傲，尽管你设法掩饰，竭力与之斗争，它仍然存在。
即使我敢相信已将它完全克服，我很可能又因自己的谦逊而感到骄傲。
9缺少谦虚就是缺少见识。
10虚荣是骄傲的食物，轻蔑是它的饮料。
11没有任何动物比蚂蚁更勤奋，然而它却最沉默寡言。
12骄傲道德导致丰盈，然后导致贫困，最后导致声誉扫地。
13绝望毁掉了一些人，而傲慢则毁掉了许多人。
14恶习知道自己委实很丑陋，所以往往戴了假面具。
15心胸开阔：不要为令人不快的区区琐事而心烦意乱，悲观失望。
16良好的态度对于事业与社会的关系，正如机油对于机器一样重要。

本杰明 富兰克林
1776年夏，富兰克林被选为英国北美殖民地第二届大陆会议的成员，成为起草《独立宣言》的五人委员会 （Committee of Five）成员 ，协助起草《独立宣言》，并成为《独立宣言》签署人之一。托马斯·杰斐逊起 草了宣言的初稿。富兰克林觉得杰斐逊在表述“真理”这句话时使用的“神圣和不容否定”不够确切，他建议修 改为“我们认为这是不言自明的真理”。同年7月4日大陆会议通过了这一著名的历史文件。北美殖民地人民正式 宣告摆脱英国的殖民统治，美洲大陆上一个新的国家——美利坚合众国从此诞生了。
1719年12月，詹姆斯开始出版《新英格兰周报》，这引发了富兰克林对新闻的浓厚兴趣（他14岁起便开始练 习写作）。
1726年秋，20岁的富兰克林回到费城。 在船上，他写下了自己的人生计划，决定以“节俭、诚实、勤奋和 得体”作为人生的信条。
富兰克林部分塑像(2张)1727年秋，富兰克林同11位好友组织了“共读社”进行自学，互相切磋，共同研究 社会、自然各方面的问题。这个会社在1743年改称“美洲哲学会”。后在1749年发展成为费拉德尔菲亚学院（以 后改为宾夕法尼亚大学）。富兰克林曾任该校董事长40余年，为传播欧洲文化，培养人才，作出了贡献。
具有探索精神的富兰克林所生活的时代，正值资本主义文明的上升时期。富兰克林无论工作如何繁忙，总是 时时注意着大自然的一切。
1745年，荷兰莱顿的两个科学家发明了蓄电池——莱顿瓶。富兰克林对此产生了浓厚的兴趣，开始了电学试 验。 1748年，富兰克林退出了他的印刷生意，不过他仍然能从他的合伙人手中分得印刷店可观的利润，亦因此 有时间进行他各项发明和研究，当中包括了他对电的研究。
