Centenarian still at work


A Rhode Island man has been working in his family business for much of the last century. WJAR has the story.

Call me Jimmy.


The years may have gone by, but time has not eroded the honesty or the world ethic of James Jimmy Shaw. Jimmy turned 100, Thursday, he was born in Johnston, still lives in Johnston and works at his family owned Shaw’s Garage in Johnston.


There was nothing here. There were apple trees here when I put this here.


Jimmy started working at the shop 80 years ago, and now as a proprietor and manager, he is still working there.


I do break the rule, but that's all, I don't put *


He's seen and fixed a lot of cars.

Davids, Bentleys, Volksmans, Graces, yeah, I know all of them, they're all old cars.


And he/ learned his trade in old fashion way, trial and error(反复试验).


Broke it, fix it, and didn't charge for what your time is spent, broke it, fix it.


When Jimmy Shaw took care of your automobile, it was taken care of.


One of ten brothers, he married just once, his late wife Margeret. As for his life's work, Shaw is still a family operation. Several relatives work there, Jimmy has two secrets to longevity. One for long life.


I guess the main thing I smoke cigarettes.


And one piece of advice for financial health.


If you don't ... don't get it, never mind the credit cards.

参考中文翻译:

在美国的罗德岛,有一位老人在他的家族企业里工作了大半个世纪。WJZR将为我们讲述这个故事。

你可以叫我Jimmy.

许多年已经过去了,但是时间并没有消磨掉James Jimmy Shaw的诚实的品格,或者换个词说,“道德”。周四的时候,Jimmy刚刚过完100岁生日。他出生在约翰斯顿,生活在约翰斯顿,而他所工作的家族企业Shaw家族汽修厂也是在约翰斯顿。

那时候那里什么都没有,当我建立这个厂的时候那里只有苹果树。

Jimmy80年前开始在那里工作,现在他已经是那个大的家族企业的拥有者和管理者,他仍然在那里工作。

我确实打破了规律,但是仅仅如此而已。

他见过并修理过许多汽车。

Davids, Bentleys, Volksmans, Graces,我都懂,它们都是老式的汽车。

他通过老式的方式学习修理技术,反复试验。

拆卸,安装,不计较花多长时间,反复的拆装试验。

当Jimmy Shaw 修理你的汽车的时候,他是真的在全心全意的照料这辆车。

Jimmy有兄弟10个,他一生就结过一次婚,他去世的妻子Margeret。虽然他一生都在工作,他仍然很善于维系家庭关系。他有一些亲戚也在他那里工作。Jimmy有两个秘书都做了很长时间,其中有一个也在那里工作了一辈子。

我认为最主要的是因为我抽烟。

对经济状况稳定的一项建议:如果你没有那么多钱,就不要使用信用卡。
