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(huì)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(gè)“垮掉的一代”真的能對(duì)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(shí)在太實(shí)用了，二十一世紀(jì)的我們看到了也會(huì)多加留意！

To Fit a Large Candle
如何安置太大的蠟燭

If a candle is too thick to fit the candlestick, don't pare the end, but get a bowl of hot water and hold the end of the candle in it until the wax softens.
如果蠟燭太粗了，放不進(jìn)燭臺(tái)，你用不著把蠟燭末端削尖，只需要倒一碗熱水，將蠟燭末端浸入水中，直至蠟燭變軟。

If the candle is now pressed into the candlestick, it will fit firmly.
現(xiàn)在當(dāng)你把蠟燭插入燭臺(tái)，它就會(huì)穩(wěn)穩(wěn)的坐在里面了。
