People don't often look back on the early 1900's for advice, but what if we could actually learn something from the Lost Generation?
通常人們不會為了求取生活妙方而去回顧20世紀(jì)初的年代,不過如果那個“垮掉的一代”真的能對我們有所助益呢?

The New York Public Library has digitized 100 "how to do it" cards found in cigarette boxes over 100 years ago, and the tips they give are so practical that millennials reading this might want to take notes.
紐約公共圖書館將一組100多年前的香煙盒上的“生活妙招”卡片進(jìn)行了數(shù)字化處理,這些卡片上的小貼士實在太實用了,二十一世紀(jì)的我們看到了也會多加留意!

How to See the Wind
如何看見風(fēng)的模樣

On a dry, windy day, take a long polished sheet of metal( a saw-blade will do) with a perfectly straight edge. Then sight carefully at some clearly defined object as shown, and you will see the air flowing over the saw's edge.
選一個晴朗,多風(fēng)的日子,拿上一根較長,表面光亮,末端棱角分明的金屬物(比如鋸子的鋸片)。瞄準(zhǔn)遠(yuǎn)處某一清楚可見的目標(biāo)物,你會看到空氣在鋸片的邊緣上流動。
