Of what he did, and let us know, we still can dream dreams for others. Pay does not necessarily have the harvest, do nothing there is harvest. Our lives are not alone, side drops in May will be surrounded by love. We Chinese people can go together, to build a better future.

Why US is Uncle Sam?
1812年，美国和英国为了争夺殖民地而大动干戈，打 得不可开交。当时，纽约州的特罗伊城有一名叫山 姆尔· 威尔逊的商人，专门负责向美军提供牛肉。他 因此而小有名气，认识的人都称其为“山姆大叔”。 根据有关规定，政府采购部门在收购“山姆大叔”的 牛肉时，都要在包装箱盖上“US”（美国国名的缩写 为“US”或“USA”）的符号，以此作为美国财产的标 记。十分凑巧的是，“山姆大叔”（Uncle Sam）的 英文缩写也是“US”。人们看到那些经过“山姆大叔” 之手的牛肉成为了美国的财产，很自然地把这两个 “US”名称联系在一起。这样一传十，十传百，结果 “山姆大叔”渐渐地成了美国的“绰号”。1961年，

Article Abstract
Tony Trivisonno, an Italian immigrant to the US, started with nothing but a firm resolve to succeed. After years of hard work and determination, he was able to buy and manage his own farm. Tony's success story serves as a reminder that we are responsible for our own fortunes.
Tony Trivisonno′s American Dream
他来自意大利罗马以南某地———个满地石子的农庄。
他什么时候怎么到美国的，我不清楚。
不过，有天晚上，我看到他站在我家车库后面的车道上。
他身高五英尺七、八左右，人很瘦。
“我割你的草坪，”他说。
他那结结巴巴的英语很难听懂。
我问他叫什么名字。
“托尼?特里韦索诺，”他回答说。
“我割你的草坪。
”我对托尼讲，本人雇不起园丁。
“我割你的草坪，”他又说道，随后便走开了。
我走进屋子，心里有点不快。
没错，眼下这大萧条的日子是不好过，可我怎么能把一个上门求助的人就这么打发走呢?等我第二天晚上下班回到家，草坪已修整过了，花园除了草，人行道也清扫过了。
我便问太太是怎么回事。
“有个人把割草机从汽车库里推出来就在院子里忙活起来，”她回答说。
“我还以为是你雇他来的。
”我就把前晚的事跟她说了。
我俩都觉得奇怪，他怎么没提出要工钱。
接下来的两天挺忙，我把托尼的事给忘了。
我们在尽力重整业务，要让一部分工人回厂里来。
但在星期五，回家略微早了些，我又在汽车库后面看到了托尼。
我对他干的活夸奖了几句。
“我割你的草坪，”他说。
我设法凑了一小笔微薄的周薪，就这样托尼每天清扫院子，有什么零活，他都干了。
我太太说，但凡有重物要搬或有什么要修理的，他挺派得上用场。
夏去秋来，凉风阵阵。
“克罗先生，快下雪了，”有天晚上托尼跟我说。
“等冬天到了，你让我在厂里干扫雪的活。
”啊，对这种执着与期盼，你又能怎样呢? 自然，托尼得到了厂里的那份活儿。
几个月过去了。
我让人事部门送上一份报告。
他们说托尼干得挺棒。
一天我在汽车库后面我们以前见面的地方看到了托尼。
“我想学徒，”他说。
我们有个挺不错的培训工人的徒工学校。
可我怀疑托尼是否有能力学会看图纸、用千分尺，是否胜任做精密加工工作。
尽管如此，可我怎么能拒绝他呢?托尼减了薪水当了徒工。
几个月之后，我收到报告，他已从徒工学校毕业，成了熟练磨工。
他学会了在千分尺上辨识一百万分之一英寸，会用镶嵌着金刚石的工具制作砂轮。
我和太太都挺高兴，觉得他的事总算有了个令人满意的结局。
