爱迪生的伟大发明

There
are
many
people
who
say
Thomas
Edison
single-handedly
invented
the
twentieth
century. Although there are those who may disagree, one thing cannot be denied:
Edison
was
a
genius,
and
his
inventions
greatly
affected
the
development
of
modern
society.
有许多人认为是爱迪生一手创造了二十世纪。虽然有不少人可能有不同的看法，
但有一件事
是无法否认的，爱迪生是个天才，以及他的发 明深刻地影响了现代社会的发展。

Born in 1847 in Ohio, Thomas Edison attended school for only three months. After
his teacher claimed that he could not learn, Edison's mother decided to teach him
at home. There he was allowed to explore the subjects that most interested him. By
age
ten,
Edison
had
built
a
science
laboratory
in
the
basement
of
his
family's
home
and had become an avid experimenter.
1847< br>年爱迪生出生于俄亥俄州。他仅仅只上了三个月的学。在爱迪生的老师声称他有学习
障碍之后，< br>他的母亲决定在家教他。
在家里，
爱迪生可以随心所欲地探索最使他感兴趣的事
物。十岁那年，
爱迪生在家里的地下室建了一间科学实验室。
从此，爱迪生就成了一位孜孜不倦的实验者。

Edison
got
his
first
job
at
age
twelve
on
the
railway
selling
candy
and
newspapers.
Three years later, he suffered an ear injury from a train accident and lost much
of his hearing. He could have had an operation, but he refused. He insisted that
being deaf helped him concentrate on his experiments.

三年后，
一场火车事
故导致他耳朵受伤，
几乎完全失聪。
他本可 以接受手术治疗，
但他拒绝了，
因为他坚信听觉
的丧失可以让他更专心地做实验。
