Why is a pig used (as a symbol) (of saving)? Why not an elephant bank, (which is bigger and holds more coins)? (In the Middle Ages), (before modern banking and credit instruments), people saved money (at home), a few coins (at a time) (dropped) (into a jar or dish). Potters(制陶工) made these inexpensive containers (from an orange-colored clay)(黏土) (called “pygg,”) and folks saved coins (in pygg jars). The
Middle English word (for pig) was “pigge”. (While the Saxons pronounced pygg), (referring to the clay), (as “pug”), eventually the two words changed (into the same pronunciation), (sounding the “i”) (as) (in pig or piggy). (As the word became less associated) (with the orange clay) and more (with the animal), a clever potter fashioned a pygg jar (in the shape) (of a pig), (delighting children and adults). The piggy bank was born.
为什么一只噜噜被使用/作为一个符号/储蓄的？为什么不（是）一个大象银行呢，它是更大的而且把握住更多硬币？在那中世纪，在现代银行业和信用工具之前，人们存钱/在家，一些硬币/在一次/被扔/进入一个罐子或盘子。制陶工做了这些不贵的容易/从一种橘黄色的粘土/被叫做“pygg”，然后老 百姓存钱/在 pygg 罐子里。这个中世纪英语单词/对于噜噜/是“pigge”。因为这些撒克逊人发音 pygg，
指的是这个粘土/作为“pug”，最终，这两个单词变/成那相同的发音，听上去是这个“i”,就像/在 pig 或piggy 里面。当这个单词变得更少联系/跟这个黄色的粘土/然后更多联系/跟这个动物，一个聪明的陶匠使一个 piggy 罐子变得流行/以这个形状/一只噜噜的，使孩子们和大人高兴。这个小猪存钱罐被出生了。【小猪存钱罐的诞生过程。】

Originally you had to break the bank (to get) (to the money), (bringing in a sense) (of seriousness) (into savings). (While piggy banks teach children the wisdom) (of saving), adults often need (to relearn childhood lessons). Think (about the things) (in life) (that require large amounts of money) --- college education, weddings, cars, medical care, starting a business, buying a home, and fun stuff (like great trips). So (when you have money), take off the top 10%, put it aside, save and invest wisely.
最初，你不得不打破这个银行/去够/到那个钱，带进来一种感觉/严肃的/进入当小猪银行教孩子们这个智慧/储蓄的，成年人经常需要/去重新学习童年的课程。想/关于这些东西/在生活中/它们需要大量的钱——大学教育，结婚，汽车，医疗，创业，置业，以及有趣的东西/像伟大的旅行。所以，当你有钱，搞走那头 10%，放它在一边，存起来，然后投资得聪明。
【大家一定要存钱呀。】

(With the completion) (of the

(On June 11, 2009), nearly 40 (of my family and friends) gathered (in the area) (close to where I would land) (while I headed up) (in the airplane). My instructor, Jay, guided me (through the experience). The plane was the noisiest one (I had ever been in), but I wasn’t frightened—I was really just looking forward (to the experience). (When we reached 13,000 feet), Jay instructed me (to throw myself) (out of the plane). (When we first hit the air), the wind was so strong (that I could hardly breathe). (For a second) I thought, “What have I gotten myself into?” But then everything got calmer. We were (in a free fall) (for about a minute) (before Jay opened the parachute（ 降落伞）, then we just floated downward (for about five minutes). Being up (in the clouds) and looking (at the view below) was (unlike anything) (I have ever felt)—much better (than the hot air balloon). I was just enjoying it.
