瞧一瞧四周,你会发现,伟大的发明随处可见。从帮助我们阅读的台灯到印刷这本杂志的印刷机……许多伟大的发明改变了世界。在发明电灯前,天一黑,人们只能上床睡觉;在发明印刷机之前,只有很少一部分人有机会读书……如果没有这些发明,很难想象人们如何生活。不过,这些令人惊叹的发明背后,可能有成千上万个点子因为不切实际而夭折了。还有一些发明是伟大发明的垫脚石。看看下面这些“距离成功一步之遥”的发明吧!我觉得,很可能有一天,它们会变身成电灯、电脑、手机这样伟大的发明的!
Take a look around, you will find that great inventions can be seen everywhere. From the lamp that helped us read to the press printing this magazine ... many great inventions have changed the world. Before the lights were invented, people could only go to bed when it was dark and only a small percentage of them had the chance to study before they invented the printing press. Without them, it is hard to imagine how people live. However, behind these astonishing inventions, tens of thousands of ideas may have died prematurely. Still other inventions are stepping stones to great inventions. Take a look at some of the following “inventions that are a step away from success.” I think it is likely that one day they will morph into the great invention of electric lights, computers and cell phones!
