富兰克林（1706-1790）
Since Man is but of a very limited Power in his own Person, and consequently can effect no great Matter merely by his own personal Strength, but as he acts in Society and Conjunction with others; and since no Man can engage the active Aistance of others, without first engaging their Trust; And moreover, since Men will trust no further than they judge one, for his _Sincerity_, fit to be trusted; it follows, that a discovered Diembler can atchieve nothing great or considerable.For not being able to gain Mens Trust, he cannot gain their Concurrence; and so is left alone to act singly and upon his own Bottom; and while that is the Sphere of his Activity, all that he can do must needs be contemptible.一个人的力量是非常有限，因而仅凭个人能力做不了什么大事，但人生在社会中， 他可以能通过与他人的合作而有所作为。一个人只有先获得别人的信任，才能获 得别人的的主动帮助。而一个人总是要看准了别人对自己的真诚，才会信任别人， 而一个伪君子一旦露了馅，终将一事无成。他无法获得信任。也就无法获得帮助， 只好孤军奋战。即使他事有所成，就他的不良动机而言，也该受到谴责。

- Thus, as the Year of the Ancients began most naturally with the Spring, _Aries_ and _Taurus_, that is, the Ram and the Bull, represented the succeive Addition to their Flocks of Sheep and Kine, by their Produce in that Season, Lambs and Calves.-- _Gemini_ were originally the Kids, but called the Twins, as Goats more commonly bring forth two than one: These follow\'d the Calves.-- _Cancer_, the Crab, came next, when that Kind of Fish were in Season.-- Then follow\'d _Leo_, the Lion, and _Virgo_, the Wench, to mark the Summer Months, and Dog-days, when those Creatures were most mischievous.In Autumn comes first _Libra_, the Ballance, to point out the Time for weighing and selling the Summer\'s Produce; or rather, a Time of Leisure for holding Courts of Justice in which they might plague themselves and Neighbours; I know some suppose this Sign to signify the equal Poise, at that Time, of Day and Night; but the other Signification is the truer, as plainly appears by the following Sign _Scorpio_, or the Scorpion, with the Sting in his Tail, which certainly denotes the Paying of Costs.-- Then follows _Sagittary_, the Archer, to show the Season of Hunting; for now the Leaves being off the Trees and Bushes, the Game might be more easily seen and struck with their Arrows.-- The _Goat_ accompanies the short Days and long Nights of Winter, to shew the Season of Mirth, Feasting and Jollity; for what can _Capricorn_ mean, but Dancing or Cutting of _Capers_? -- At length comes _Aquarius_, or the Water-bearer, to show the Season of Snows, Rains and Floods; and lastly _Pisces_, or the two Shads, to denote the approaching Return of those Fish up the Rivers: Make your Wears, hawl your Seins; Catch \'em and pickle \'em, my Friends; they are excellent Relishers of old Cyder.-- But if you can\'t get Shad, Mackerel may do better.
因此，古代的一年大多从春天始事，即白羊座和公牛座，表示这个季节羊羔 和牛犊大量繁殖，牛羊不断增多。双子座原来是孩子的意思，但叫双子，指的 是山羊产仔一般都是双胎。接下来是巨蟹座，蟹是这个季节特有的。往下是狮 子座和处女座，这表明夏季和三伏天到了，这是狮子作害，少女活泼调皮的季节。 秋季最先来到是的是天秤座，现在是收割和出售夏季作物时候，或确切的说，也 是一个休闲季节，人们忙打官司，累坏自己也累坏邻居。我知道有些人认为天 秤座表示一种平衡的姿态，表示白天和黑夜时辰一样长，不过接下来的星座表示 这个意思更确切，这就是天蝎座。它的尾巴的那根刺当然是表示为错误而付出代 价。再下来是人马座狩猎季节来临，树叶掉落，更容易发现和射中的猎物。摩羯 宫带来的冬季的短暂白天和漫长的黑夜，带来狂欢，盛宴和豪饮的季节；摩羯宫 除了指跳舞和雀跃，还能指什么呢？宝瓶座指的是风雪，多雨和洪水的季节。 最后是双鱼座，暗示往上迁徙的鱼儿又快回来了。缝补您的衣服，补好你的渔网。 捕到鱼，腌好它们，我的朋友，用它们下陈年苹果酒，那可是有滋有味啊。不过 要是逮不到河鲱，鲭鱼更棒。
