两个墨西哥人沿密西西比河淘金,他们从下游一路上行,到一个河汊时分了手,因为一个认为入阿肯色河可以淘到更多的金子,一个认为去俄亥俄河发财的机会更大。这两条河都是密西西比河的支流,一条在东,一条在西。10年后,到俄亥俄河的人果然发了财,在那儿他不仅找到了大量的金砂,而且建了码头,修了公路,还使他落脚的地方成了一个大集镇。现在俄亥俄河岸边的匹兹堡市商业繁荣、工业发达,无不起因于他的拓荒和早期开发。 The two Mexicans raked gold along the Mississippi River, and as they walked downstream all the way to a riverbank, they broke their hands because one thought they could find more gold in the Arkansas River and one had a greater chance of making a fortune in the Ohio River. Both are tributaries of the Mississippi, one in the east and one in the west. Ten years later, those who came to the Ohio River really made a fortune, where he not only found a lot of gold sand, but also built a wharf, repaired the road, but also made him where he settled into a large market town. The commercial prosperity and industrial development in Pittsburgh, on the banks of the Ohio River, are all due to his pioneering and early development.
