What was Frank's first job?

Yesterday afternoon Frank Hawkins was telling me about his experiences as a young man. Before he retired, Frank was the head of a very large business company, but as a boy he used to work in a small shop. It was his job to repair bicycles and at that time he used to work fourteen hours a day. He saved money for years and in 1958 he bought a small workshop of his own. In his twenties Frank used to make spare parts for aeroplanes. At that time he had two helpers. In a few years the small workshop had become a large factory which employed seven hundred and twenty-eight people. Frank smiled when he remembered his hard early years and the long road to success. He was still smiling when the door opened and his wife came in. She wanted him to repair their grandson's bicycle!

參考譯文

昨天下午弗蘭克.霍金斯向我講述了他年輕時的經歷。在退休前，弗蘭克是一家非常大的商業公司的經理，但他小時候卻在一家小鋪里做工。他那時的工作是修理自行車，并且通常是一天工作14個小時。他靠多年積蓄，于1958年買下了自己的一個小鋪子。20多歲的時候，弗蘭克曾生產飛機零配件。那時他有兩個幫手。幾年之后，小鋪子已經發展成了一個雇有728人的.大工廠。弗蘭克回想著他早年的艱難經歷和走過的漫長的成功之路，微笑了。他正笑著的時候門開了，他的妻子走了進來。她叫他去修理孫子的自行車。
