富兰克林英⽂介绍Benjamin Franklin (January 17, 1706–April 17, 1790) was one of the Founding Fa-thers of the United States. A noted polymath, Franklin was a leading author and prin-ter, political theorist, politician, postmaster, scientist, inventor, satirist, civic activist, statesman, and diplomat. As a scientist, he was a major figure in the American En-lightenment and the history of physics for his discoveries and theories regarding elec-tricity. He invented the lightning rod, bifocals, the Franklin stove, a carriage odome-ter, and the glass 'armonica'. He formed both the first public lending library in Ameri-ca and the first fire department in Pennsylvania.Franklin earned the title of "The First American" for his early and indefatigable cam-paigning for colonial unity; as an author and spokesman in London for several colo-nies, then as the first United States Ambassador to France, he exemplified the emerg-ing American nation. Franklin was foundational in defining the American ethos as a marriage of the practical and democratic values of thrift, hard work, education, com-munity spirit, self-governing institutions, and opposition to authoritarianism both po-litical and religious, with the scientific and tolerant values of the Enlightenment. In the words of historian Henry Steele Commager, "In a Franklin could be merged the virtues of Puritanism without its defects, the illumination of the Enlightenment with-out its heat."To Walter Isaacson, this makes Franklin "the most accomplished Ameri-can of his age and the most influential in inventing the type of society America would become."Franklin, always proud of his working class roots, became a successful newspaper editor and printer in Philadelphia, the leading city in the colonies. He was also part-ners with William Goddard and Joseph Galloway the three of whom published the Pennsylvania Chronicle, a newspaper that was known for its revolutionary sentiments and criticisms of the British monarchy in the American colonies.He became wealthy publishing Poor Richard's Almanack and The Pennsylvania 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 spear-headed the effort to have Parliament repeal the unpopular Stamp Act. An accom-plished diplomat, he was widely admired among the French as American minister to Paris and was a major figure in the development of positive Franco-American rela-tions. 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 coi-nage and money; warships; the names of many towns, counties, educational institu-tions, namesakes, and companies; and more than two centuries after his death, count-less 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 distress. Then he went to work as an apprentice in his brother’s shop, the apprentice days was very dif-ficult, 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 in-vented the lightning rod, dual-purpose glasses, new stove and new lights. He pio-neered 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 process 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 humanity 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 de-termination 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, frugality, 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 requirements 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 thefather of America for his impressive image that can main-tain a frugal life style of work for the public welfare and make immortal contribu-tions, 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 worthwhile techniques of communication, conduct, and self-improvement. A conscientious and serious youth, Franklin nevertheless left his boyhood town because he had impreg-nated 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 polit-ical independence, even at the cost of war. Franklin became as fine a statesman as ev-er the United States was to produce. One of the country's founding fathers and a tire-less 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 his readers 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.
