【漢譯英】
一去二三裏，煙村四五家。
亭台六七座，八九十枝花。
Seeing two to three miles away,
Four to five homes in the misty town.
Six to seven pavilions are there,
Along with many blooming flowers.
【英譯漢】
The idea of aligning waking hours to daylingt hours to conserve candles was first proposed in 1784 by US polymath Benjamin Franklin. In a satirical letter to the editor of The Journal of Paris, Franklin suggested that waking up earlier in the summer would economize candle usage and calculated considerable savings.
