Benjamin Franklin was born in Milk Street, Boston, on January 6, 1706.
벤자민 프랭클린은 1706년 1월 6일 보스턴의 밀크 스트리트에서 태어났습니다.
His father, Josiah Franklin, was a tallow chandler who married twice, and of his seventeen children Benjamin was the youngest son.
그의 아버지 요시아 프랭클린은 양초 제조업자였는데 두 번 결혼했고, 그의 17명의 자녀 중 벤자민은 막내아들이었다.
His schooling ended at ten, and at twelve he was bound apprentice to his brother James, a printer, who published the "New England Courant."
그의 학업은 열 살 때 끝났고, 열두 살 때 그는 "뉴잉글랜드 쿠란트"를 발행하는 인쇄업자인 그의 형 제임스의 도제로 들어갔습니다.
To this journal he became a contributor, and later was for a time its nominal editor.
그는 이 저널의 기고자가 되었고, 나중에는 한동안 명목상의 편집자였습니다.
But the brothers quarreled, and Benjamin ran away, going first to New York, and thence to Philadelphia, where he arrived in October, 1723.
그러나 형제들이 다투었고, 벤자민은 도망쳐 먼저 뉴욕으로 갔다가 필라델피아로 가서 1723년 10월에 도착했습니다.
He soon obtained work as a printer, but after a few months he was induced by Governor Keith to go to London, where, finding Keith's promises empty, he again worked as a compositor till he was brought back to Philadelphia by a merchant named Denman, who gave him a position in his business.
그는 곧 인쇄공으로 일자리를 얻었으나 몇 달 후 키스 주지사의 권유로 런던으로 갔으나 키스의 약속이 헛된 것임을 알고 다시 조판공으로 일하다가 덴먼이라는 상인에 의해 필라델피아로 돌아와 그의 사업체에서 일자리를 얻게 되었습니다.
On Denman's death he returned to his former trade, and shortly set up a printing house of his own from which he published "The Pennsylvania Gazette," to which he contributed many essays, and which he made a medium for agitating a variety of local reforms.
덴먼이 죽자 그는 이전 직업으로 돌아가 곧 자신의 인쇄소를 차리고 "펜실베이니아 가제트"를 발행했으며, 이 신문에 많은 에세이를 기고하고 이를 통해 다양한 지역 개혁을 선동했습니다.
In 1732 he began to issue his famous "Poor Richard's Almanac" for the enrichment of which he borrowed or composed those pithy utterances of worldly wisdom which are the basis of a large part of his popular reputation.
1732년에 그는 유명한 "가난한 리처드의 연감"을 발행하기 시작했는데, 이를 위해 그는 세상의 지혜에 관한 간결한 표현들을 빌려오거나 직접 만들어냈으며, 이는 그의 대중적인 명성의 상당 부분을 차지하는 기초가 되었습니다.
