唉，经验就是“一盏船尾的灯，它只照耀在我们身后的波涛上”。
Taking office after harding died suddenly in 1923 , coolidge was sworn in by his father , a notary , by the light of a kerosene lantern .
哈定总统于1923年突然去世，接着，柯立芝就映着煤油提灯的光芒、由其父（公证员）宣誓就职。
With the ring of light from his lantern dancing from side to side he lurched across the yard , kicked off his boots at the back door , drew himself a last glass of beer from the barrel in the scullery , and made his way up to bed , where mrs jones was already snoring .
