The New Age of Invention
发明的新时代
Interviewer: Good evening,and welcome to Between the Pages.This evening, I'll be talking to Dr Richard Fairhurst, whose new book The New Age of Invention has just been published.Welcome,Richard!
采访者：晚上好，欢迎来到《书页之间》。今晚，我将与理查德·费尔赫斯特博士交谈，他的新书《发明的新时代》刚刚出版。欢迎，理查德！
Richard: Thank you.It's a pleasure to be here.
理查德：谢谢。很高兴在这里。
Interviewer :I guess you have been asked about the title of your book before. It suggests that the present day is a new age for inventions,but many people might think that the great age of invention is over.
采访者：我猜你之前被问到过关于你书名的问题。这表明现今是一个发明的新时代，但许多人可能会认为伟大的发明时代已经结束了。
Richard : Well,that's an interesting point.There have been golden ages of invention throughout history. Think of the four great inventions in Ancient China:gunpowder, papermaking, printing and the compass. These things changed the world forever. Then there were the great Western inventions: the steam engine, the telephone and the radio. And now,we find ourselves in the great new age of technology.
理查德：嗯，这是一个有趣的观点。历史上有过发明的黄金时代。想想中国古代的四大发明：火药、造纸术、印刷术和指南针。这些东西永远改变了世界。然后是西方的伟大发明：蒸汽机、电话和无线电。而现在，我们发现自己处于技术的伟大新时代。
Interviewer : So are most of the new great inventions tech-based
采访者：那么，大多数新的伟大发明都是基于技术的吗？
Richard :A lot,yes.For example, advances in virtual reality and wearable tech,as well as the flexible battery,mean we should soon be seeing further developments. In addition,important advances have been made in medicine and environmental science thanks to increasing computer power.
理查德：很多，是的。例如，虚拟现实和可穿戴技术的进步，以及柔性电池的发展，意味着我们很快就会看到进一步的进展。此外，由于计算机能力的增强，在医学和环境科学领域也取得了重要的进步。
Interviewer :Can you give us some examples
采访者：你能给我们举一些例子吗？
Richard :Sure.New inventions like 3D printers have been used to make replacement hearts and bone parts.In terms of the environment, it is now possible to create an intelligent walking house.It is capable of using GPS technology to travel to different places, with computing technology controlling its “legs".What's more,huge advances in solar technology mean it can be eco-friendly,too.
理查德：当然。像3D打印机这样的新发明已被用来制造替代心脏和骨骼部件。在环境方面，现在有可能创造一个智能行走房屋。它能够使用GPS技术前往不同的地方，计算技术控制它的“腿”。更重要的是，太阳能技术的巨大进步意味着它也可以是环保的。
Interviewer : Impressive stuff! I've also been told that you're an inventor yourself. Is that correct
面试官：令人印象深刻的东西！我也被告知你自己也是一位发明家。这是真的吗？
Richard: Yes,I am,but I'm only one member of a big team-most inventors now work as part of big international teams.
理查德：是的，我是，但我只是大团队中的一员——现在大多数发明者作为大型国际团队的一部分工作。
Interviewer: I see. So what is it that inspires us to invent things
采访者：我明白了。那么是什么激励我们去发明创造呢？
Richard: Most inventions start with recognising a problem that needs a solution.This was no doubt the reason behind the invention of the wheel in ancient times,which much later developed into the car. Now, reduced energy supplies and environmental pollution have led to more advances in the technology of new energy vehicles.But what remains important is that we have an incredible desire to think and create,and that's the real spirit of invention.
理查德：大多数发明都是从认识到需要解决的问题开始的。这无疑是古代发明轮子背后的原因，而轮子后来发展成了汽车。现在，能源供应的减少和环境污染导致了新能源汽车技术的更多进步。但重要的是，我们拥有难以置信的思考和创造的欲望，这才是发明的真正精神。
Interviewer: One last question.This is the one everyone really wants to know: will anybody ever invent a time machine
采访者：最后一个问题。这是每个人都真正想知道的：有人会发明时间机器吗？
Richard: I think you've been watching too many movies!Nothing like this has been invented yet and I’d say we’re a long way from an invention like that at the moment! But,as they say,"Never say never!"
理查德：我认为你电影看得太多了！这样的发明还没被创造出来，而且我觉得我们目前离那样的发明还很远！但是，正如他们所说，“永远别说永不！”

FRANKLIN’S EXPERIMENT: How Much Is True
富兰克林的实验：有多少是真的？
Benjamin Franklin's famous experiment with lightning has introduced generations of children to science. However,new research suggests that the story may be fiction instead of fact.
本杰明·富兰克林著名的闪电实验向几代儿童介绍了科学。然而，新的研究表明，这个故事可能是虚构的，而不是事实。
The well-known story is that the American Founding Father and scientist flew a kite during a storm in 1752.At that time,there was much interest in electricity.People wanted to know if lightning was really produced by electricity or something else. Franklin was one of them.He raised the kite with a piece of string tied to it. A metal key was attached to the string. A flash of lightning hit the kite,and electricity was conducted through the string to the key.Franklin then touched the key with his finger and got an electric shock.This,he said,proved that lightning was a form of electricity.
众所周知的故事是，美国开国元勋和科学家在1752年的一场暴风雨中放飞了一只风筝。当时，人们对电学有着浓厚的兴趣。人们想知道闪电是否真的由电产生，还是其他原因。富兰克林就是其中之一。他用一根绳子将风筝升起。一根金属钥匙被系在绳子上。一道闪电击中了风筝，电通过绳子传导到钥匙上。富兰克林随后用手指触摸钥匙，感受到了电击。他说道，这证明了闪电是一种电的形式。
For many years,schools have taught the story of Franklin's lightning experiment. More than one generation of schoolchildren has been amazed by his bravery and his scientific approach to looking for the truth. Franklin, along with many other scientists,has inspired us and taught us that scientific experiments are important in order to establish the truth and to contribute towards later scientific discoveries and inventions.
多年来，学校一直在教授富兰克林的闪电实验故事。不止一代的小学生被他的勇敢和科学探索真理的方法所震撼。富兰克林，以及许多其他科学家，激励了我们，并教导我们科学实验对于确立真理以及为后来的科学发现和发明做出贡献是重要的。
However,neither the story nor the details of the experiment are entirely true. Although it has been proved that Franklin's experiment took place,more than one scientist has questioned what really happened.The detail about the string and the key is true. But scientists all agree that if Franklin had actually touched the key, he would certainly have died from the electric shock.
然而，故事和实验的细节并不完全真实。尽管已经证实富兰克林的实验确实发生过，但不止一位科学家质疑了真正发生的事情。关于绳子和钥匙的细节是真实的。但科学家们一致认为，如果富兰克林真的触摸了钥匙，他肯定会因电击而死亡。
Scientists often question accepted ideas because they want to establish the facts. Some have even questioned the story about the apple that fell on Newton's head and led him to come up with his theory of gravity.In fact,more than one account suggests that while Newton was certainly inspired by a falling apple,there is no proof that it hit him on the head.
科学家们经常质疑被接受的观点，因为他们想要确立事实。有些人甚至质疑了关于苹果落在牛顿头上并启发他提出万有引力理论的故事。实际上，有不止一份记载表明，尽管牛顿确实受到了一个落下的苹果的启发，但并没有证据表明苹果真的砸到了他的头。
Admittedly,fiction is often more interesting than the truth. People have been more inspired by Franklin's spirit of scientific exploration than by the facts themselves. But in science,facts should be proved by experiments and research, and we should not always believe everything we read or hear-even if it is a great story.
诚然，小说通常比真相更有趣。人们更多地是被富兰克林的科学探索精神所激励，而不是事实本身。但在科学领域，事实应该通过实验和研究来证明，我们不应该总是相信我们读到或听到的一切——即使它是一个很棒的故事。
