Most great inventors often met with much trouble in their work. Before they could succeed, they had to overcome thousands of difficulties which were put in their way. The following is one of such examples.
George Stephenson ( 1781-1848 ) , a famous British inventor, made the first train in 1825, using a steam engine. When he was experimenting with the engine on the train he met with trouble from the government(政府) , the newspapers and the gentlemen in the country. They said that the noise and the smoke would kill cows, horses and sheep, that the engine would burst or that the hot coals from it would set fire to their houses. People believe what they said.
George Stephenson told the people that the train could go on small rails, could pull carriages full of goods and passengers and that there was no great danger to them.

They thought it was a genie(妖怪) .They ran quickly back home for fear（恐惧）and closed their doors tightly. They did not dare to come out until it had passed.
