第三十一课
课文讲解

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!

他年轻时的经历。在退休前，弗兰克是一
家非常大的商业公司的经理，但他小时候却在一
家小铺里做工。他那时的工作是修

年买下了自己
的一个小铺子。
20
多岁的时候，弗兰克曾生产飞机零配件。那时他有两个帮手。
几年之后，小铺子已经发展
成了一个雇有

艰难经历和走过的漫长的成功之路，微笑了。他正笑着的时候门开了，他
的妻子
走了进来。她叫他去修理孙子的自行车。
