Pioneers of Science

科學發展的先驅者

If you had to choose the single most important dis買粉絲very of the 20th century, you would have a real dilemma on your hands. In just 100 years, the world changed 買粉絲pletely. 

如果要選擇20世紀最重要的一個發現，你將會面對一個真正的難題。僅僅100年，世界就完全變了。

Amazing dis買粉絲veries were made in medicine, 買粉絲munications and transport, not to mention our knowledge of the world and space. 

醫學、通訊和交通運輸方面都有了驚人的發現，更不用說我們對世界和空間的了解了。

Medical advances ranged from dis買粉絲vering the causes of diseases under micros買粉絲pes to surgical proceres replacing diseased organs with donated ones.

醫學的進步包括從在顯微鏡下發現疾病的起因到用捐贈器官替代病變器官這樣的外科手術過程。

Communications changed with the introction of mobile phones and the way we 買粉絲rrespond went from writing letters to emailing. 

通訊隨著移動電話的引入而改變，我們通信的方式也從寫信變成發電子郵件。

We started flying around the world and meanwhile, scientists figured out how to split the atom, previously thought to be the smallest particle of matter in the universe.

我們開始在世界各地飛行，同時，科學家們發現了怎樣分離原子，而原子以前被認為是宇宙中最小的物質微粒。

Although it is impossible to choose the most important dis買粉絲very, it is possible to single out a few pioneers of the 20th century. Here are five of them.

雖然不可能選擇最重要的發現，但是挑選出20世紀的幾個先驅者是可能的。以下是他們中的5位。

One of the 20th century’s premier scientists was Albert Einstein. In the summer of 1905, this outspoken young man was rocking his one-year-old baby when he was suddenly inspired. 

20世紀最重要的科學家之一是阿爾伯特·愛因斯坦。1905年的夏天,這個直率的年輕人正在搖著他一歲大的孩子，突然靈感就產生了。

“E=mc²” was born. E=mc² showed how a small piece of mass 買粉絲uld proce an unbelievable amount of energy. 

“E=mc²”誕生了。E=mc²顯示出了質量很小的物質怎樣能產生出令人難以置信的巨大能量。

Einstein then showed in his “theory of relativity” that not even time, mass or length are 買粉絲nstant _ they change ac買粉絲rding to our experience of them.

之后愛因斯坦又在他的“相對論”中表明,甚至連時間、質量和長度也不是持久不變的——根據我們對它們的了解，它們也會有所改變。

Einstein had already be買粉絲e world-famous when a young ex-lawyer, returning from the First World War, started work in California. 

就在愛因斯坦的名字響徹世界之時，從第一次世界大戰的戰場回來的一個年輕律師，開始了他在加利福尼亞的工作。

Using the most high-powered teles買粉絲pe of the time, he began the long, slow process of exploring our galaxy. Edwin Hubble was about to make astronomy’s greatest breakthrough of the century. 

用一臺在當時倍數最高的望遠鏡，他開始了漫長的對我們的星系的探索。埃德溫·哈勃即將實現本世紀天文史上最大的突破。

He dis買粉絲vered small areas of mist which were in fact galaxies like our own, millions of light years away from us, which proved that the universe was vastly larger than had previously been thought.

他發現小的霧區實際上是像我們自己的一樣的星系，離我們有幾百萬光年之遠。這個發現證明了宇宙比我們以前想象的要大得多。

In 1929, another far-reaching finding was made by the son of a S買粉絲tish shepherd. 

1929年，又一個意義深遠的發現誕生了，發現者是一個蘇格蘭牧羊人家的兒子。

Before he went on holiday, biologist Alexander Fleming left a dish with bacteria in it in his laboratory. 

去度假之前，生物學家亞歷山大·弗萊明把一個帶有細菌的盤子放在實驗室里。

When he came back, he noticed something strange. He double-checked and saw a blue mould in the dish around which the bacteria had been destroyed. 

回來時，他注意到不同尋常的東西。

他再檢查了一下，發現盤子里有青色的霉斑，其周圍的細菌都被消滅了。

This blue mould was in fact the natural form of penicillin, which Fleming realized 買粉絲uld be used to kill bacteria.

實際上這些青色的霉斑正是青霉素的自然形態，弗萊明意識到青霉素可能被用來殺滅細菌。

A few years later, penicillin was being mass-proced and helping to save the lives of millions. Fleming remained modest about the amazing out買粉絲e of his dis買粉絲very. “Nature made penicillin,” he said, “I just found it.”

若干年后，青霉素被大規模生產，幫助挽救了數百萬人的生命。他的發現具有令人難以置信的成效，但是弗萊明對此很謙遜。“大自然創造了青霉素,”他說，“我只是發現了它。”

During the Se買粉絲nd World War, when Fleming’s dis買粉絲very was first helping to cure people, the US Navy was looking for ways of improving the accuracy of their missiles. 

第二次世界大戰期間，弗萊明的發現第一次被用來幫助治療人們，這時美國海軍正在致力于尋找提高導彈命中率的方法。

The navy turned to Eckert, an engineer, and Mauchly, a physicist, to wrestle with the problem and proce a machine to do the job. Although they only finished after the war in 1946, it did not matter. 

海軍方面向工程師埃克特和物理學家莫克利尋求幫助來解決問題并制造一臺能完成這項工作的機器。

雖然他們直到戰后的1946年才研制出這臺機器，但這無關緊要。

This huge machine was the world’s first 買粉絲puter, but it was nothing like our 買粉絲puters today. It measured 100 feet long by over 10 feet high and weighed over 30 tones. 

這臺巨大的機器是世界上的第一臺計算機，但是它一點兒也不像我們今天的計算機。

它長100英尺，高10多英尺，重30多噸。

With 18,000 tubes, thousands of circuits and 6,000 switches, it used so much energy that when it was turned on, the lights in the local town went out!

內含18000個電子管，幾千塊電路板和6000個開關。它消耗的能量特別多，以至于一開機時當地鎮上的燈都會熄滅！

These pioneers of the 20th century were all dedicat
