Chapter 2 Edwards Franklin Crevecoeur 爱德华兹 富兰克林 克雷福科
For no one has ever more fully and typically than Jonathan Edwards displayed the infinite inflexibility of the upper levels of the American mind, nor any one more typically than Franklin the infinite flexibility of its lower levels.因为没有人能比乔纳森•爱德华兹更能代表美国的上层，也没有人比富兰克林更能代表美国的底层。
1.Edwards爱德华兹
Edwards was, probably, at once the first modern American and the country’s last medieval man.爱德华兹也许是第一个现代美国人，也是最后一个中世纪的美国人。
The current of Transcendentalism, originating in the piety of the Puritans, becoming a philosophy in Jonathan Edwards, paing through Emerson, produced the refinement and aloofne of the chief America writers.超验论由清教徒的虔诚演变而来，从乔纳森•爱德华兹这里得到发展，继而传给爱默生，成就了精致而超然的主要美国作家。
2.Franklin富兰克林
Franklin's claim to a place in literature rests chiefly on his Poor Richard’s Almanac and Autobiography 富兰克林在文学上的成就主要是《穷理查德历书》和《自传》。
The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin was probably the first of its kind in literature.富兰克林的《自传》可以说是文学史上该类文学的开山之作。
It is the simple yet immensely fascinating record of a man rising to wealth and fame from a state of poverty and obscurity into which he was born, the faithful account of the colorful career of America's first self-made man.The book consists of four parts, written at different times.它简洁却全面地记录了一个人从贫困和卑微的生活环境中走出来，最终获得财富和声望的故事。这本书忠实地记载了美国第一个依靠自我奋斗获得成功的人的传奇。全书共有四章，分别写于不同的时期。
