1. 用英語來說愛迪生的發明故事

Alvaro Thomas Edison (ThomasAlvaEdison) -- The United States is a world-renowned scientists and inventors.In addition to his gramophone Electric, telephone, telegraph, inventions and contributions to the movie, in the mining, construction,chemical and other fields to create a well-known and a lot of insights.Edison invention lifetime total of about 2,000 items, and the progress of human civilization made a great contribution.Edison was born on February 11, 1847 in Milan, Ohio, a small town in the Midwest.The Dutch were the descendants of his father, his mother worked for school teachers, is the Scots descendants.Edison 7 years old, my father was a loss-making business operations roof tiles.Michigan State will move the whole family Geladiaote northwest of Fort Huron settled.Move here soon, with Edison on the scarlet fever, a disease for a very long time.People think this disease is caused his deafness reasons.Edison 8-year-old school, but I only read the book three months, and was derided as "imbecile" and out of school leavers.Since then, his mother is his "family teachers."The mother of a good ecation, he makes a strong interest in reading."He not only Expo book group, but glance, Guomuchengsong."8 years old when he read the most important Renaissance British playwright Shakespeare.Dickens books and many important historical books, to nine years of age, he quickly understood quite a difficult book,Parker as the "natural and experimental philosophy".10 am fond of chemicals.11 years old, he experimented with his first telegraph.To earn money to buy chemicals and equipment, he began his work.The 12-year-old when he agreed on the sale of the train, travel to Port Huron and Michigan between Detroit.He reportedly sold the one hand, while also offering fruit and vegetable business, as long as the time he went to the library and read.He bought an old printing press, the Herald began publishing its own magazine -- "Phase 1 of the magazine is printed on the train.He used the money earned in the baggage build a chemical laboratory.Unfortunately, there is a chemical fire, he was thrown out of the equipment together with his vehicle.Another time, when Edison was attempting to board a series of freight trains, a train waiter seize his two ears help him.This action led to the Edison become a lifelong mb.In August 1862, Edison displayed a heroic vision rescued a boy who died in a train track soon.The child's father this disaster, but can reward money, he's willing to telegraph technology.Since then, Edison and the mysterious -- it happened in the New World, embarked on a scientific journey.1863, Edison serve as hubs Telecom Operators Sitelafute Link Railway.From 1864 to 1867, served as radio operator in the central and western localities, led similar street life.Footprint, including Sitelafute, Mr. Adrian, Fort Wayne, Indianapolis, Cincinnati, Nashville,Tennessee, Memphis, Louisville, Huron area.In 1868, Edison came to the identity of a Boston radio operator.The same year, he received the first patents for their invention.This is a device automatically records the past few years.Edison that Taiwan will speed up the installation of the Congress, it will be welcome.However, the Member of Parliament told him that they had no intention of speeding up the agenda, sometimes slowly to the voting out of political needs.Since then, Edison decided not to pursue the people could not invent any.Early June 1869, he went to New York to find jobs.When he was summoned to wait in a broker office, a telegraph worse.Edison is the only one where the telex machine can be repaired, and he gained a better job than he had expected.He, together with the Pope in October to set up a "Pope -- Edison Company," specialized in electrical engineering scientific instruments.Here, he invented the "Edison Putin used printing press."He dedicated this printer Wall Street, a major manager of the company, like the price of 5,000 U.S. dollars.but lacks the courage to say exports.So he let the manager to prices, and managers to 40,000 U.S. dollars.Edison spent money in the Ward Street, Newark, New Jersey, to build a factory that specializes in the manufacture of various electrical machinery.His work through the night.He cultivated many talented assistants, and also met a diligent Mary, the first of his future bride.In Newark, he has made such as waxed paper sheets may, mimeographs and other inventions from 1872 to 1875.Edison invented the two-and four telex machine, but also to help others become one the world's first English typewriters.1876 spring, and again moved to Edison, New Jersey, he moved to the "Menlo."Here he built the first "invention factory", it "marks the beginning of collaborative research."1877, Edison improved early by Bell's telephone, and make it into a practical use.He also invented a project -- his beloved gramophone.Telephone and telegraph "is a revolutionary expansion of human sensory function."Gramophone one of the three great inventions is to change people's lives, "since the invention of the imagination,This is his most important achievements of the invention. "By this time, people have been calling him "Menlo magician."Edison invented the gramophone at the same time, experienced many failures of the Electric has finally made a breakthrough in the study.October 22, 1879, Edison first lit a beacon extensive real practical value to the lights.In order to extend the life of filament, he re-testing, about some of the 6000 Multi-Fiber Materials,found a new luminous body -- Japan Zhu - si, sustainable over 1,000 hours to reach a rable purposes.From a certain point of view, this is the invention of Edison's life of achievements reached the pinnacle of perfection.After that, he created a distribution system, power stations, distribution centers so that the distance from the lamp.This is a major achievement in the process.He first found in pure science in 1883.Experimental Electric, he observed that the effects of the phenomenon he called Edison :brightened with a light bulb in the room after arriving cooling-plate charge from the hot filament.Edison discovered in 1884 applied for the patent, but did not further study.Scientists adjacent to the Edison effect and the development of the electronics instry, especially radio and television.Edison gramophone made for the ears and attempts to make the eyes, a movie camera that emerge.Eastman use of a new invention Sailuluo film, he took a series of photographs of them quickly.continuous screening of the theater curtain, to proce the illusion of movement.In his first film in the laboratory test in 1889, applied for a patent in 1891.In 1903, his company proced the first feature films "train robbery."Edison for the organization and standardization of the film instry has done a lot of work.Edison's lab in 1887 he moved to West orange, for his invention into a variety of procts and marketing.He set up a number of commercial companies; These companies later merged into Edison General Electric Company.later known as the General Electric Company.Since then, his interest has shifted fluorescence study ore smash planes from the magnetic iron, batteries and railway signaling devices.During World War I, he developed a torpedo mechanical devices throwers and underwater periscope.October 21, 1929, the 50th anniversary of the invention of the Electric,Edison people held a grand celebration,Einstein and Marie Curie in France, Germany and other well-known scientists have to congratulate him.Unfortunately, in this meeting, when Edison's reply, were too excited, he suddenly lost consciousness.Since then, his health deteriorating.October 18, 1931, this made a great contribution to mankind upon the death of the scientist, outlast 84 years.Edison's ecational level is very low, but such a huge contribution to mankind, here's "secret" is?A curious addition to his heart, the instinct of a pilot himself,He is exceptionally bright with the boundless energy of hard work and determination.When Edison was called "genius", but he explained :"genius is 98% perspiration with 2.0 inspiration. "In his" invention factory "The integration of many different professional organizations, there are scientists, engineers, technicians, a total of more than 100 workers.Many of the major inventions Edison is only on the success of this collective effort.His success is mainly e to his hard work and creativity as well as a collective effort, in addition,His wife had played a very significant role.Chronology : Edison created on October 11, 1868 invention "vote counter."Life is the first franchise.In October 1869, and a friend with "the Pope -- Edison Company."Used printer made universal suffrage in 1870, sold the franchise, was 40,000 U.S. dollars.Set up factories in the New Yorker.1872-1876 -- invented animation electromechanical reported that the automatic answering reporters telegraph, double, four cable,manufacturers such as waxed paper sheets may carbon resistors.1875 invention acoustic resonator analysis.1876 in the state of New Jersey to establish a laboratory in Menlo -- the first instrial research laboratory.It is a modern-day "study group" of the founders of the concept.Precision delivery devices for carbon rod invention.Recorded message of patent applications.Menlo improved in 1877 by Bell invented the telephone early, and make it into a practical use.T obtained three patents : piercing, aerodynamic crowbars and ordinary crowbar.August 20 was certified Edison invented a pet project -- a gramophone.Edison declared in 1878 -- to solve the lighting problem.British Royal Society Gramophone exhibition.Gramophone improved design micro sounded loud air loudspeakers, voice engine tuning engines, micro heat.experience flavor from 1991.February 19 was Gramophone patent.Parker, a professor with the University of Pennsylvania in July to observe the day -

不是全部都關於發明燈的，你自己改改吧.

愛迪生（1847～1931）Edison，Thomas Alva

美國發明家。以創辦工廠實驗室、開辟使技術開發與科學研究緊密結合的途徑而名垂史冊 。1847 年2月11日生於俄亥俄州的邁蘭的一個荷蘭移民家庭。1931年10月18日於新澤西州西奧蘭治逝世 。幼時只受過3個月正規教育 。12歲起做過報童、小販、報務員等以自謀生計。因受M.法拉第的影響，一生從事電學實驗研究和發明。1868年他發明了一台選票記錄儀想推銷給國會，但沒有被採用。愛迪生的第一項發明沒有找到市場使他更注意發明的實用性。1869年，愛迪生由波士頓移居紐約。他改進了金指示器電報公司的電報機，得到公司經理的賞識 ，受聘月薪300美元（ 這在當時是很高的月薪 ）。1870 年 ，移居新澤西州 ，開始他的高效發明時期 。1874年改進了打字機 。1876年 ，給A.G.貝爾發明的電話加裝了炭粒話筒，提高了受話的聲響。

1876年，創辦了他著名的實驗室。在這個實驗室里，他 打破了以往科學家個人獨自從事研究的傳統，組織一批專門人才（包括N.特斯拉等人），由他出題目並分派任務，共同致力於一項發明 ， 從而開創了 現代科學研究 的正確途徑 。1877年，發明了留聲機，這使他名揚四海。1878年，開始白熾燈的研究，在十幾個月中經過多次失敗後，於1879年10月21日成功地點亮了白熾炭絲燈，穩定地點亮了兩整天。1882年，在紐約珍珠街創辦世界第二座公用火電廠，建立起紐約市區電燈照明系統，成為現代電力系統的雛形。電照明的實現，不僅大大改善了人們生產勞動的條件，也預示著日常生活電氣化時代即將到來。1883年，愛迪生在試驗真空燈泡時，意外地發現冷、熱電極間有電流通過。這種現象後來稱為愛迪生效應，成為電子管和電子工業的基礎。1887年，移居西奧蘭治，並於同年在該市創建規模更大、裝備也更新的實驗室，即著名的愛迪生實驗室（後人稱之為發明工廠）。在這里，根據G.伊斯曼的發明，製作了自己的照相機。1914年 ，用留聲機和照相機製成了最早的有聲電影系統。晚年，他的發明和革新包括蓄電池、水泥攪拌機、錄音電話、雙工式和多工式電報系統、鐵路用制動器等。第一次世界大戰期間，他任海軍技術顧問委員會主席，指導魚雷和反潛設備研究，發明了幾十種武器。為此，美國政府於1920年授予他卓越服 務獎章 ， 法國政府授 予他軍團榮譽勛位 。1928年，美國國會授予他榮譽獎章。終其一生，愛迪生和他的實驗室共獲1093項發明專利權。愛迪生一生發明眾多，但他畢竟缺乏系統的科學知識 ，因而對現代技術的發展不能作出正確判斷。19世紀末，交流輸電系統已經出現，但他仍堅持直流輸電，並在與G.威斯汀豪斯發生的激烈競爭中喪失了承建尼亞加拉水電站的合同 ；他的實驗室盲目試制磁力選礦設備，耗盡了發明電燈所得的資金，最後不得不放棄。但是，愛迪生在電力開發、電器製造推廣電能應用等方面所作的貢獻，使他成為人類歷史上最偉大的發明家之一。

3. 愛迪生發明電燈的故事

英國的科學家戴維和法拉第發明了電弧燈。這種電燈用炭棒作燈絲。它雖然能發出亮光，但是光線刺眼，耗電量大，很不實用。因此愛迪生就暗下決心：「一定要發明一種燈光柔和的電燈，讓千家萬戶都用得上。」

他開始著手於燈絲的材料：從傳統的炭條到金屬釕、鉻、白金等，就這樣，愛迪生試驗了1600多種材料，但愛迪生面對試驗的一次次失敗卻沒有退卻，他堅信：失敗乃成功之母。

1879年10月，在一次偶然的機會下，愛迪生嘗試用炭化棉線裝進燈泡，接通電源後燈泡發出金黃色的光輝，把整個實驗室照得通亮，經過13個月的艱苦奮斗，試用了6000多種材料，試驗了7000多次，終於有了突破性的進展。

這盞電燈足足亮了45小時，燈絲才被燒斷。這是人類第一盞有實用價值的電燈。後來1879年10月21這一天被人們定為電燈發明日，標志著可使用電燈的誕生。

但愛迪生沒有滿足，他要讓燈泡的壽命延長後來他嘗試用炭化後的竹絲作燈絲，試驗結果表明，用竹絲作燈絲效果很好，燈絲耐用，燈泡可亮1200小時。於是電燈開始批量生產，此後，電燈開始進入尋常百姓家。

1929年10月21日，是電燈發明50周年，人們為愛迪生舉行了慶祝會，德國的阿爾伯特·愛因斯坦和法國的瑪麗·居里等科學家紛紛前來祝賀。

不幸的是，在這次慶祝會上，當愛迪生發言的時候，由於過分激動，突然昏厥過去，從此他的身體每況愈下。1931年8月1日，愛迪生身感不適，經醫生診斷，他同時患有慢性腎炎、尿毒症、糖尿病。

愛迪生 一生只上過三個月的小學，他的學問是靠母親的教導和自修得來的。他的成功，應該歸功於母親自小對他的諒解與耐心的教導，才使原來被人認為是低能兒的愛迪生，長大後成為舉世聞名的「發明大王」。
愛迪生從小就對很多事物感到好奇，而且喜歡親自去試驗一下，直到明白了其中的道理為止。長大以後，他就根據自己這方面的興趣，一心一意做研究和發明的工作。他在新澤西州建立了一個實驗室，一生共發明了電燈、電報機、留聲機、電影機、磁力析礦機、壓碎機等等總計兩千餘種東西。愛迪生的強烈研究精神，使他對改進人類的生活方式，作出了重大的貢獻。
「浪費，最大的浪費莫過於浪費時間了。」 愛迪生常對助手說。「人生太短暫了，要多想辦法，用極少的時間辦更多的事情。」
一天，愛迪生在實驗室里工作，他遞給助手一個沒上燈口的空玻璃燈泡，說:「你量量燈泡的容量。」他又低頭工作了。
過了好半天，他問:「容量多少? 」他沒聽見回答，轉頭看見助手拿著軟尺在測量燈泡的周長、斜度，並拿了測得的數字伏在桌上計算。他說:「時間，時間，怎麼費那麼多的時間呢?」愛迪生走過來，拿起那個空燈泡，向裡面斟滿了水，交給助手，說：「裡面的水倒在量杯里，馬上告訴我它的容量。」
助手立刻讀出了數字。
愛迪生 說:「這是多麼容易的測量方法啊，它又准確，又節省時間，你怎麼想不到呢？還去算，那豈不是白白地浪費時間嗎?」
助手的臉紅了。
被譽為近代科學的開創者牛頓，在科學上作出了巨大貢獻。他的三大成就——光的分析、萬有引力定律和微積分學，對現代科學的發展奠定了基礎。

Thomas then worked for five years as a telegraph operator, but he continued to spend much of his time on the job concting experiments. He got his first patent in 1868 for a vote recorder run by electricity. However, the vote recorder was not a success. In 1870, he sold another invention, a stock-ticker, for $40,000. A stock-ticker is a machine that automatically prints stock prices on a tape. He was then able to build his first shop in Newark, New Jersey.
Thomas Edison was totally deaf in one ear and hard of hearing in the other, but thought of his deafness as a blessing in many ways. It kept conversations short, so that he could have more time for work. He called himself a "two-shift man" because he worked 16 out of every 24 hours. Sometimes he worked so intensely that his wife had to remind him to sleep and eat.
Thomas Edison died at the age of 84 on October 18, 1931, at his estate in West Orange, New Jersey. He left numerous inventions that improved the quality of life all over the world.
愛迪生 (1847-1931)
19世紀被譽為科學的世紀，也是以科學的技術化和社會化為突出特徵的世紀。科學在這個世紀開始成為社會生活的一個重要組成部分。風起雲涌的偉大創新轉變成為技術科學的巨大威力。這個世紀的一些科技巨擘繼續活躍於20世紀。托馬斯·阿爾沃·愛迪生（Thomas Alva Edison）,就是其中之一。美國《生活》周刊不久前評出的過去1000年的100位最有影響力人物中，愛迪生名列第一。

愛迪生出身低微、生活貧困，他的「學歷」是一生只上過3個月的小學，老師因為總被他古怪的問題問得張口結舌，竟然當他母親的面說他是個傻瓜、將來不會有什麼出息。母親一氣之下讓他退學，由她親自教育。這時，愛迪生的天資得以充分地展露。在母親指導下，他閱讀了大量的書籍，並在家中自己建了一個小實驗室。為籌措實驗室的必要開支，他只得外出打工，當報童、辦報紙。最後用積攢的錢在火車的行李車廂建了個小實驗室，繼續作化學實驗研究。後來，化學葯品起火，幾乎把這個車廂燒掉。暴怒的行李員把愛迪生的實驗設備都扔下車去，還打了他幾記耳光,據說愛迪生因此終生致聾。

愛迪生是美利堅民族崇尚的那種傳奇般的人物——雖未受過良好的學校教育，但憑個人奮斗和非凡才智獲得巨大成功。他自學成才，以堅韌不拔的毅力、罕有的熱情和精力從千萬次的失敗中站了起來，克服了數不清的困難，成為美國發明家、企業家。他早年曾制定雙工式和四工式電報系統，發明自動電報幫電機。1877～1879年發明留聲機；實驗並改進了電燈（白熾燈）和電話。以後又制定了照明系統，並為實現集中供電進行了許多工作。他提出並採用直流三線系統。製成當時容量最大的發電機，並於1882年利用該機建成了第一座大型發電廠。在同時期，作了鐵道電氣化的試驗。1883年發現「愛迪生效應」，即熱電子發射現象。在電影技術、礦業、建築、化工等方面也有不少著名的發明，僅從1869年到1901年，就取得了1328項發明專利。在他的一生中，平均每15天就有一項新發明，他因此而被譽為「發明大王」。

愛迪生獻身科學、淡泊名利。在研製電燈時，記者對他說：「如果你真能造出電燈來取代煤氣燈，那你一定會賺大錢。」愛迪生回答說：「一個人如果僅僅為積攢金錢而工作，他就很難得到一點別的東西——甚至連金錢也得不到！」他一直被稱作現代電影之父，可是在電影界人士為他77歲壽辰舉行的盛大宴會上，他說：「對於電影的發展，我只是在技術上出了點力，其他的都是別人的功勞。」

愛迪生胸襟開闊、善處逆境。針對自己的耳聾不便，他說：「走在百老匯的人群中，我可以像幽居森林深處的人那樣平靜。耳聾從來就是我的福氣，它使我免去了許多干擾和精神痛苦。」1914年某天晚上，愛迪生的電影實驗室突遭火災，損失巨大。愛迪生安慰傷心之極的妻子說：「不要緊，別看我已67歲了，可我並不老。

從明天早晨起，一切都將重新開始，我相信沒有一個人會老得不能重新開始工作的。」第二天，愛迪生不但開始動工建造新車間，而且又開始發明一種新的燈——一種幫助消防隊員在黑暗中前進的攜帶型探照燈。火災對愛迪生就像是一支小小的插曲。

愛迪生造福大眾、不畏艱辛。為尋找燈絲，他試驗了數千種材料；為試制一種新的蓄電池，他失敗了八千次。因此，愛迪生常常說：「天才是百分之一的靈感加上百分之九十九的勤奮。」他在80歲時，仍然保持著發明家的精神，堅張地進行著發明創造活動。1927年，他成立了愛迪生植物研究公司，投入一個嶄新的研究領域，尋覓化工新材料。81歲高齡的愛迪生成功地從野草中提煉出橡膠，受到人們極高的評價。

On one occasion, his mother a disease, therefore, Edison got a doctor : is your mother have appendicitis, surgery, must turn, then, he is very much at home from the hospital, but soon the darkness Edison moved brains, and cabinets on the chant. put a large mirror on the cabinet, therefore, a mirror reflecting light to save his mother, the doctor moved to say : "You save your mother, your mother, your life is to again! Thus, out of the Edison Electric!

19世紀初，人們開始使用煤氣燈（瓦斯燈），但是煤氣靠管道供給，一但漏氣或堵塞，非常容易出事，人們對於照明的改革，十分殷切。事實上，愛迪生為自己訂定了一個不可能的任務：除了改良照明之外，還要創造一套供電的系統。他和夥伴們，不眠不休的做了1600多次耐熱材料和600多種植物纖維的實驗，才製造出第一個炭絲燈泡，可以一次燃燒45個鍾頭。後來他更在這基礎上不斷改良製造的方法，終於推出可以點燃1200小時的燈泡In the early 1900s. people started using gaslamps, which were supported by gas. Accidents would come quite easily as soon as the pipeline was blocked, so the enthusiasm for a new revolution of lighting was very high. In fact, Thomas Edison set up an immpossible mission himself that he would set up a power supply system, apart from the lighting improvement. With the cooperation of his coworkers, they invented the first carbon filament lamp by many experiments with more than 1,600 heat resisting and fibrous plant materials. which could last for 45 minutes. Finally, they invented the bulb which could light for more than 1,200 hours.

1879年10月，在一次偶然的機會下，愛迪生的老朋友麥肯基來看望他。愛迪生望著麥肯基說話時一晃一晃的長胡須，突然眼睛一亮，說：「鬍子，先生，我要用您的鬍子。」麥肯基剪下一綹交給愛迪生。愛迪生滿懷信心地挑選了幾根粗鬍子，進行炭化處理，然後裝在燈泡里。可令人遺憾的是，試驗結果也不理想。「那就用我的頭發試試看，沒准還行。」麥肯基說。這句話深深的觸動了愛迪生，但他明白，頭發與胡須性質一樣，於是沒有採納老人的意見。愛迪生走身，准備為這位慈祥的老人送行。他下意思地幫老人拉平身上穿的棉線外套。突然，他又喊道：「棉線，為什麼不試棉線呢？」
麥肯基毫不猶豫地解開外套，撕下一片棉線織成的布，遞給愛迪生。愛迪生把棉線放在在U形密閉坩堝里，用高溫處理。愛迪生用鑷子夾住炭化棉線。准備將它裝在燈泡內。可由於炭化棉線又細又脆，加上愛迪生過於緊張，拿鑷子的手微微顫抖，因此棉線被夾斷了。
最後，費了九牛二虎之力，愛迪生才把一根炭化棉線裝進了燈泡。此時，夜幕正在降臨，愛迪生的助手把燈泡里的空氣抽走，並將燈泡安在燈座上，一切工作就緒，大家靜靜地等待著結果。接通電源，燈泡發出金黃色的光輝，把整個實驗室照得通亮。13個月的艱苦奮斗，試用了6000多種材料，試驗了7000多次，終於有了突破性的進展。
但是，這燈究竟會亮多久呢？1小時，2小時，3小時„„時間一分一秒的過去，這盞電燈足足亮了45小時，燈絲才被燒斷。這是人類第一盞有實用價值的電燈。
愛迪生的一生是偉大的一生，不是因為他的著裝華麗，而是因為他的成就卓越。電燈的發明知識他眾多發明中的一點，但它帶來的影響卻是無可比擬。
