But the telephone has a fascinating story behind it one that could be entitled. The Conquest of Solitude. It is the story of Alexander Graham Bell. 这件事太不足为奇了所以没有人会去猜想它是怎么发生的。

但是的背后却有一个引人入胜的故事可以题名为“征服孤寂”这就是亚历山大· 格雷厄姆· 贝尔的故事 He was born in Edinburgh Scotland. In 1847 the son of a man who was consumed passionately consumed with the workings of the human voice how it is produced and used and especially in teaching the deaf how to use it. For in those days you see the deaf lived in permanent solitude. Not only could they not hear they could not speak. After all how could they pronounce words they couldnt hear Perhaps this obsession of the elder Bell was one of the reasons he married whom he did. For the woman who would give birth to the inventor of the telephone…… was deaf 1847 年他生于苏格兰的爱丁堡市。

他的父亲全神贯注、满怀激情地全神贯注于研究人的声音的发生和作用过程特别是教耳聋的人如何运用声音因为那个时候耳聋的人生活在永恒的孤寂之中他们不仅听不见而且也不会说话毕竟他们听不见说的话又怎么能发得出声来呢也许老贝尔的这一执着爱好是促使他日后同成为自己妻子的人结婚的原因之一因为后来生下的发明者的那位妇女????是个聋人 Young Alexander Graham Bell grew up with his fathers passions. In 1870 because of poor health he migrated to Canada. It was not long before his success in teaching the deal to speak brought him to the attention of a wealthy merchant in Boston who had a deaf daughter Mabel. Would Mr. Bell please teach Mabel how to speak Yes he would. And did. And they fell in love. It was she who inspired him through an of the exhausting experiments. who pulled him through the clepressioljs that often irtflict those whose drive to succeed is so intense while he developed the then remarkable instrument that transformed speech into electrical impulses that could then be converted back into human speech at the end of a wire. he had pierced yet another solitude the one that up until then had denied human speech between people distant from one another. A year later in 1877 he and Mabel were married. He later became an American citizen. 年轻的亚历山大·格雷厄姆。

贝尔带着自己父亲的执着爱好长本1870 年他由于健康不佳移居加拿大不久之后他就以成功地教会耳聋者说话而引起波士顿一位富商的注意这位商人有个耳聋的女儿梅布尔可否请贝尔先生教梅布尔说话呢可以他愿意教他教了梅布尔他们相爱了是梅布尔鼓舞他进行了所有那些使人精疲力竭的实验也是梅布尔使他克服了不时产生的沮丧情绪——那种常常困扰着紧张工作去夺取成功的人们的沮丧情绪——使他得以研制出当时很了不起的一种工具它能把人说的话转变为电脉冲之后又在金属丝的末端使之还原成人说的话这样他就打破了又一种孤寂那种在此之前一直使相距遥远的人无法通话的孤寂一年之后 1877 年他同梅布尔结为夫妻他后来成为美国公民 Oh ALexander Grahahl Bell was showered with the praise of the world. Honors came to him from all the points of the compass. Yes he would go on to other discoveries many of them. But in his own view he was most proud of his efforts to help the deaf. 啊全世界的赞美如雨点般倾注下来荣誉来自四面八方。

是的他后来继续做出发明多项发明但是他本人认为他为帮助聋人所做的努力最使他自豪 So when the government of France awarded him the Volta Prize for inventing the telephone he combined this monetary award with the money hye made from selling the patent on another invention to establish the Volta Bureau in Washington D. C. . Its purpose was to fund research on deafness. Today it is called the Alexander Graham Bell Association. Its role has been changed to providing the latest information to the deaf of the world on how best to cope with their disability. 所以当法国政府因为他发明了而授与他沃尔塔奖金时他用这笔奖金再加上他通过出售另一项发明所得到的钱在华盛顿建立起沃尔塔办事处其目的就是为医治耳聋提供资金。

今天这—机构称作“亚历山大· 格雷厄姆· 贝尔协会” 它的作用已改为向全世界的聋人提供如何最有效地对付耳聋的最新资料 Alexander Graham Bell died in 1922: Mabel five months later. She loved him that much. His name is likely to live as long as man recalls history. After all there is this constant reminder of how he brought the human family into。
