Genius at Work天才在工作
Henry Ford didn't always pay attention in school.One day,a friend and he took a watch apart.Angry and upset,the teacher told him both to stay after school.Their punishment was to stay until they had fixed the watch.But the teacher did not know young Ford's genius.In tenminutes,this mechanical wizard had repaired the watch and was on his way home.
Ford was always interested in how things worked.He once plugged up the spout of a teapot and placed it on the fire.Then he waited to see whatwould happen.The water boiled and,of course,turned to steam.Since the steam had no way to escape,the teapot exploded.The explosion crackeda mirror and broke a window.The young inventor was badly scalded.
Ford's year of curiosity and tinkering paid off.He dreamed of a horseless carriage.When he built one,the world of transportation was changedforever.
亨利·福特在学校里常常心不在焉。有一天,他和一个小朋友把一块手表拆开了。老师很生气,让他们放学后留下来,把表修好才能回家。当时这位老师并不知道小 福特的天才。只用了十分钟,这位机械奇才就把手表修好,走在回家的路上了。
福特对各种东西的工作原理总是很感兴趣。曾有一次,他把茶壶嘴用东西堵住,然后把茶壶放在火炉上。他便站在一边等候着会出现什么情况。当然,水开后变成了 水蒸气。因为水蒸气无处逸出,茶壶便爆炸了,因而打碎了一面镜子和一扇窗户。这个小发明家也被严重地烫伤了。
多年后,福特的好奇心和他的动手能力使他得到了回报。他曾经梦想着去制造一辆不用马拉的车。他造成了一辆这样的车后,运输界发生了永久性的变化。
