How Did Edison Become a Great Inventor?
愛迪生緣何成為大發(fā)明家？
紅人自畫像
是誰(shuí)為這個(gè)世界帶來了光明？是上帝還是普羅米修斯？由于普羅米修斯，白天明亮了，但夜晚仍舊黑暗啊，于是我發(fā)明了燈泡。從此人類的萬(wàn)家燈火使星星和月亮都黯然失色了。
Who brought light to the world, God or Prometheus? With Prometheus, it is bright in the day, but how about the night? That’s why I invented the bulb. Since then, the twinkling lights have dimmed even the stars and the moon.
超級(jí)訪問
大發(fā)明家愛迪生的發(fā)明真是多如繁星，為什么我一個(gè)也發(fā)明不了呢？古古一直在想這個(gè)問題。看來他得親自拜訪一下愛迪生了。于是古古登上時(shí)空穿梭機(jī)，來到了愛迪生的實(shí)驗(yàn)室。
The great inventor Edison’s inventions were as many as the stars in the sky. “But why can’t I ever make a single invention?” Gugu kept thinking about it. It seemed that he needed to get some clues from the inventor in person. So Gugu took the time-space shuttle and arrived at Edison’s lab.
（G=Gugu E=Edison）
G: Hello, our great inventor!
E: Hi, Gugu! How did you get here?
G: By a time-space shuttle.
E: Oh? What kind of machine can traverse time and space?! Who invented it? Can I take a look at it?
G: No, problem, but first would you mind telling me what I need to do to become a great inventor as you?
E: Sure. To begin with, you need to study hard and persevere.
G: Come on, not this again!
E: As I’ve said, “ Genius is one percent inspiration.” I always look into something with my own hands and never believe others blindly.
G: Ok, I get it.
E: In additiom, an innovative spirit is indispensable to an inventor. Don’t always toe the line, or you’ll never find anything.
G: Anything else?
E: Last but not the least, keep a curious heart. Come on, I can’t wait any longer! Let’s go to have a look at your magical machine!
古古：您好。大發(fā)明家！
愛迪生：你好！古古，你是怎樣來到我們時(shí)代的？
古古：我乘坐時(shí)空穿梭機(jī)而來。
愛迪生：哇！那是一種什么樣的機(jī)器呀，居然可以穿越時(shí)空。是誰(shuí)發(fā)明的，讓我看一下好嗎？
古古：可以呀。不過您先講講您是怎樣成為大發(fā)明家的好嗎？
愛迪生：可以，可以。首先，當(dāng)個(gè)大發(fā)明家需要勤奮學(xué)習(xí)、刻苦專研。
古古：哦！又來了，沒勁！
愛迪生：天才是99%的汗水和1%的靈感嘛。我經(jīng)常親自動(dòng)手研究，從來不迷信別人的結(jié)論。
古古：恩，似乎有些道理。
愛迪生：還有，當(dāng)大發(fā)明家要有創(chuàng)新精神，不要總是循規(guī)蹈矩。那樣什么也發(fā)明不出來。
古古：還有嗎？
愛迪生：最后，也是最重要的一點(diǎn)，就是永遠(yuǎn)保存一顆好奇心。哎呀，我等不及了，我們趕緊欣賞一下你乘坐的奇妙機(jī)器吧。
