【課文】
Yesterday afternoon Frank Hawkins was telling me about his experiences as a young man. Before he retired, Frank was the head of a very large business company, but as a boy he used to work in a small shop. It was his job to repair bicycles and at that time he used to work fourteen hours a day. He saved money for years and in 1958 he bought a small workshop of his own. In his twenties Frank used to make spare parts for aeroplanes. At that time he had two helpers. In a few years the small workshop had become a large factory which employed seven hundred and twenty-eight people. Frank smiled when he remembered his hard early years and the long road to success. He was still smiling when the door opened and his wife came in. She wanted him to repair their grandson's bicycle!
昨天下午,弗蘭克·霍金斯向我講述了他年輕時(shí)的經(jīng)歷。退休前,弗蘭克是一家大型商業(yè)公司的負(fù)責(zé)人,但小時(shí)候他曾在一家小商店里工作。他的工作是修理自行車(chē),那時(shí)他每天要工作十四個(gè)小時(shí)。他省吃?xún)€用好幾年,終于在1958年買(mǎi)下了一個(gè)屬于自己的小車(chē)間。在二十幾歲時(shí),弗蘭克開(kāi)始為飛機(jī)制造零部件。那時(shí),他有兩個(gè)幫手。幾年之后,那個(gè)小車(chē)間已經(jīng)發(fā)展成了一個(gè)大廠,雇傭了七百二十八人。弗蘭克回想起早年那段艱難的歲月和漫長(zhǎng)的成功之路時(shí),臉上露出了笑容。這時(shí),門(mén)開(kāi)了,他的妻子走了進(jìn)來(lái),他依然面帶微笑。她想讓他修理一下他們孫子的自行車(chē)!
