牛顿少年时代的境遇也是十分令人同情的。1642年,牛顿出生前,他的父亲就去世了。母亲又在他两岁那年改嫁了。而在他14岁时,他的继父也不幸故去了,牛顿被迫休学回家,帮助母亲种田过日子。母亲想培养他独立谋生的能力,要他去学做买卖。牛顿多么不愿意离开心爱的学校啊!他伤心地哭闹了几次,母亲始终没有回心转意,最后只得按照母亲的意愿去学习经商。每天一早,他跟一个老仆人到十几里外的大镇子上去做买

The circumstances of Newton’s youth were also very sympathetic. In 1642, before Newton was born, his father died. The mother remarried again when he was two years old. When he was 14 years old, his stepfather had unfortunately gone and Newton was forced to return home to help his mother farm. The mother wanted to cultivate his ability to make a living independently and asked him to learn to do business. Newton was very reluctant to leave his beloved school! He cried a few times sadly, his mother never changed his mind, and finally he had to follow his mother’s wishes to study business. Every morning, he and an old servant went to buy a dozen miles away from the big town.
