Benjamin Franklin was a famous American diplomat and writer.
His black servant often asked him：“Dear Master，what's a gentleman？”
Once Franklin answered him like this：“A gentleman is a kind of living thing.He can eat，drink and sleep，but can do nothing.”
After a while，the servant ran to him and said：“Oh！Master，I know what a gentleman is now.Men work，horses draw wagons and oxen plough field；but pigs only eat，drink，sleep and do nothing all day long.So，no doubt，it is pig that is a gentleman.”
本杰明·富兰克林是美国著名的外交家和作家。他的黑人仆人经常问他：“尊敬的主人，绅士到底是什么样的呢？”
有一次富兰克林这样回答他：“绅士是一种生物。它能吃饭，能喝水，也能睡觉，但是却什么都做不了。”
过了一会儿，仆人跑过来，说：“哦！主人！我知道绅士是什么了。人类工作，马能拖动货车，老牛能犁地；但是猪只吃、喝、睡，整天什么都不做。所以，毫无置疑，绅士就是猪啊。”
