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。

名人勵志的簡短英語故事篇2：海倫·凱勒She fought for women's right, crusaded for the causes of workers, promoted equality for minorities, and championed the underprivileged and the oppressed. She also earned several prestigious awards from countries as diverse as Japan, Brazil, and Lebanon. An impressive list of achievements for any human, all this was accomplished by a woman who was blind and deaf.
她為女權而戰、投身工人事業、促進弱勢團體平等權利、支持受苦和受壓迫的人。她還榮獲日本、巴西、黎巴嫩等國頒發的幾項榮譽大獎。對任何人來說，這都是讓人印象深刻的成就，然而這是由一位雙眼失明雙耳失聰的女人取得的。
Helen Keller was born a healthy child in 1880 in Alabama. Stricken by illness at the tender age of nineteen months, Helen lost her ability to see, hear, and speak. Growing up unable to comprehend the world around her, Helen became wild and unruly, until her parents found help.
1880年，海倫·凱勒在美國的阿拉巴馬州出生時是個健康的孩子。可在她19個月大時，她得了一場大病，海倫從此失去了視覺、聽覺和說話的能力。在成長的過程中，她無法了解周圍的一切，變得狂躁而難以管教，最後她的父母只好求助於他人。
They contacted Dr. Alexander Graham Bell, the famous inventor and teacher of the deaf, who introced them to an institute for the blind in Boston, Massachusetts. A student there, Annie Sullivan, was asked to help. Annie would later become known as the "Miracle Worker."
他們和著名的發明家、聾啞教師亞力山大·貝爾博士取得聯系之後，被介紹到一家位於馬薩諸塞州波士頓的盲人機構。該機構的學生安妮·蘇利文應邀提供幫助。她就是後來那位著名的「奇跡創造者」。
Annie Sullivan taught Helen how to connect objects with letters by spelling words into Helen's hands. Helen's breakthrough came when Annie held her hand under a water pump while spelling "water" into her other hand repeatedly. Helen suddenly understood, and from then on progressed by leaps and bounds.
蘇利文在海倫手上拼字，藉此教她如何將物體和字母聯系在一起。有一次安妮把海倫的手放在水泵出水口下，並且在她的另一支手上重復拼寫water的時候，海倫突然明白了，她的學習有了重大突破。從此她進步神速。
Having mastered both the manual and Braille alphabets, Helen became proficient in reading and writing, and began learning how to speak in 1890. Helen entered Radcliffe College and, assisted by Annie Sullivan, graated cum laude in 1904. She was the first blind-deaf person ever to graate from college.
海倫在學會了手指拼字法和布萊耶盲人點字法後，她的閱讀和書寫能力變得熟練起來;1890年，她開始學習說話。後來海倫在蘇利文的幫助下，進入拉德克利夫(Radchffe)學院就讀，1904年以優異的成績 畢業 ，她成為第一位大學畢業的盲啞人。
Helen Keller spent the rest of her life as a writer, lecturer, and advocate for the deaf and blind and other disadvantaged groups. She traveled to numerous countries on behalf of the disabled, and founded the Helen Keller Endowment Fund for the American Foundation for the Blind in 1930. She died on June 1, 1968, an outstanding example of the unconquerable human spirit.
海倫·凱勒的餘生都致力於寫作和演講，聲援盲人、聾人和其他，弱勢群體。她代表殘疾人，足跡踏遍海外各國，並且在1930年為美國盲人基金會創建了海倫·凱勒捐贈基金。海倫·凱勒於1968年6月1日與世長辭，她可以說是人類不屈不撓精神的最佳典範。
名人勵志的簡短英語故事篇3：凱瑟琳·格拉罕It could safely be said of Katherine Graham that few women had a greater infulence on 20th-centllry American history. When she died at the age of 84, peop1e from all walks of life were swift and generous in their eulogies.
我們可以有把握地說，沒有幾個婦女像凱瑟琳·格拉罕對20世紀美國歷史有這么大的影響。她84歲去世時，各界人士紛紛趕往悼念，表示敬意。
Katherine Meyer was born in 1917 to a wealthy and fami1y. Her father was a multimillionaire who gave up business and government service to buy the Washington Post in 1933. Katherine shared his love of journalism, and worked on the paper's editing desk for a few years before getting married.
凱瑟琳·邁耶 1917年出生在一個富裕的特權家庭。她的父親是一位大富豪，他放棄了工作和政府部門的職位，在1933年買下了境況不佳的《華盛頓郵報》。凱瑟琳承襲了父親對新聞的熱愛，婚前在這家報社的編輯部工作了數年。
Her husband, Phil Graham, was a bright young lawyer who took over at the Post in 1945. But Phil suffered from manic depression later, which graally got worse, culminating in his suicide when Katherine was 46. Suddenly, she found herself in control of the Post.
她的丈夫菲爾·格拉罕曾是一位很出色的年輕律師，他1945年接管了華盛頓郵報。但後來他被躁狂抑鬱症所折磨，病情日漸惡化，最後在凱瑟琳46歲時他自殺身亡。突然間，她感到管理郵報的責任落在了自己身上。
Graham took over the day-to-day running of the paper Skeptics who had doubted her ability to make a success of it were mbfounded as her enthusiasm and tenacity proved them wrong.
格拉罕接管了郵報每日的運作。當她，以熱忱和執著證明了那些曾懷疑她能力不足的人是錯誤的時候，他們都啞口無言。
Graham was never afraid of making a courageous decision. Against the advice of the Post's lawyers, she sided with her editors and published the Pentagon Papers. The papers were top secret documents about the United States' involvement in the Vietnam War. She later remained steadfast in the face of government pressure not to pursue the Watergate scandal that led to the resignation of President Richard Nixon.
格拉罕從來不怕果斷地作決定。她不聽從郵報律師們的勸告，而支持她手下的編輯們，發表了《五角大樓文件》，這些文件是有關美國的最高機密文件。即使面臨政府施加的壓力，要她不要再追究後來迫使尼克松總統下台的水門事件，她始終立場堅定。
Graham handed over the control of the Post to her son in 1991, when she was 74 years old. By that time, she was often being described as the most powerful woman in America. Whether or not that was true, few would disagree with the assessment of one of her many admirers, that without her, Washington "would have been a much less civilized place."
1991年，葛拉罕74歲時，將掌管郵報的權力移交給了她的兒子。那時，她常被形容為美國最有影響的女人。無論這種說法是否正確，相信多數人都會認同她眾多仰慕者之一給予的評價：沒有她，華盛頓「就會是遠不如現在文明的地方」。
