The Man behind Blue Jeans
Levi Strauss was born in 1829 in Bavaria,Germany.He was the fifth of six children.His father sold dry goods from door to door.(Dry goods include many different things; fabric,thread,scissors,combs,buttons,yarn,etc.)
In 1845,his father died.All six children decided to go to the United States.Two of Strauss‘ bothers started a dry goods company in New York City.Strauss’ sister Fanny and her husband started a similar business in San Francisco.Strauss decided to go to the southeastern part of the United States.For eight years,he walked along the country roads selling dry goods from door to door – just like his father in Bavaria.
In 1853,Strauss decided to move to San Francisco.(At that time,thousands of people traveled to California to look for gold.) On the way to California,Strauss sold almost all of his dry goods.He had only one thing left—— some canvas.
In California,Strauss tried to sell the canvas to the gold miners.He said they could make tents from the canvas.But they weren‘t interested in canvas for tents.Strauss didn’t know what to do with the canvas.Then,he had an idea.Strauss could see that the miners needed new pants.There were holes in their pants because the fabric wasn‘t strong.He decided to make the canvas into pants.They called them “Levi’s”.Later,Strauss stopped using canvas and used a different fabric.It was a heavy cotton fabric—— the same kind people wear today.
Levi Strauss died in 1902.He never married and left his money to his nephews.He left the world much more —— the jeans that so many people wear.

蓝色牛仔裤后面的人
利维斯特劳斯于1829年出生在德国的巴伐利亚.他在六个孩子中排第五.他的父亲挨家挨户卖干货.(干货包括很多不同的东西,纺织品,线,剪刀,梳子,纽扣,纱线等)
1845年,他的父亲去世.所有的6个孩子决定去美国.斯特劳斯的两个兄弟在纽约市开了一家干货公司.施特劳斯的姐姐范妮和她的丈夫在旧金山开展了一个类似的业务.斯特劳斯决定去美国东南部.八年来,他沿着乡村道路挨家挨户卖干货- 就像他父亲在巴伐利亚的时候.
1853年,施特劳斯决定搬到旧金山.(在那时,成千上万的人前往加利福尼亚寻找黄金)在去加州的路上,施特劳斯出售了几乎所有的干货.他只留下一件东西 - 一些帆布.
在加州,施特劳斯试图把帆布卖给挖黄金的矿工.他说,他们可以利用帆布做帐篷.但是,他们对于用帆布做帐篷没有兴趣.斯特劳斯不知道如何处理这些帆布.然后,他有了一个主意.斯特劳斯可以看到,矿工需要新裤子.因为面料不结实,他们的裤子都有洞.他决定把帆布做成裤子.他们称它们为“利维的”.后来,施特劳斯停止使用帆布,改用不同的面料.这是一个坚实的棉织物 - 同人们今天穿的一样.
列维施特劳斯于1902年去世.他从来没有结婚,他的钱留给了他的侄子.他留给了世界却更多更多 - 有这么多的人穿的牛仔裤.
