Most of us think the telephone was invented by Alexander Graham Bell. 1 In fact, an Italian named Antonio Meucci was officially recognized (认定) as the inventor in2002. Who is Meucci and why wasn't he known for his invention at the time
Antonio Meucci was born in Italy in 1808. He studied engineering and drawing. During his studies, Meucci started to experiment (做实验) with electricity. 2 When two places were
connected with wires (电线), people in those places could hear each other talk.
In 1850, Meueci and his wile, Ester, moved to New York. Meucci was worried about his wife, because she had become very ill.3 To solve this problem, he connected metal cables(金属电缆) between his home and his workshop. In this way they could talk to each other easily.
Meucci invited a group of people to see his new invention. They listened in amazement as the voice of a singer was heard through the wires. 4 Even worse, Meucci never applied for(申请) a patent(专利)on his invention, At the same time, Alexander Graham Bell was working on the same idea and in 1876 the patent for the telephone was given to him. In 2002, more than a century after Meueci's death, his work was finally recognized by the us government.
A. He discovered that sound could travel through metal cables. B. However, he wasn't the first person to think of the idea. C. Unluckily, only a few people attended this talk. D. He will now be known all over the world as the telephone's inventor. E. He needed to keep in touch with her at all times, F. Meucci was so excited about his new invention.
