课文讲解
A century ago, milk chocolate was very expensive. Hershey decided to try his hand at making affordable milk chocolate. Finally, he found the solution and produced the first HERSHEY'S Bar in 1900. Seven years later, the company introduced HERSHEY'S KISSES.
一个世纪以前，牛奶巧克力的价格不斐；贺喜下定决心，尝试做出人人都吃得起的牛奶巧克力。终于，他找到了解决方法，并在1900年制作出第一条贺喜巧克力棒。七年之后，该公司推出了「贺喜之吻」巧克力。
Besides chocolate, Hershey also believed in helping others. He built a community and a park with amusement rides around the factory for his workers. Soon, the town of Hershey formed in Pennsylvania. It still attracts millions of visitors each year. Although Hershey died in 1945, his spirit, like his chocolates, lives in the hearts of many.
除了巧克力之外，贺喜也深信助人为快乐之本。他在工厂周遭为他的员工们辟建了一个小区和一座附有游乐设施的公园；不久之后，以贺喜为名的小镇就在宾夕法尼亚州诞生了。这个小镇每年依旧吸引百万名的游客造访。尽管贺喜在1945年逝世，他的精神，一如他的巧克力，长存在许多人的心中。
