盘点46个对人类影响深远的现代发明,是一件很有意思的事儿。 Taking stock of 46 modern inventions that have had a profound impact on humanity is a fascinating endeavor.
01 手机(美国) 1973年4月,美国著名的摩托罗拉公司技术员马丁·库帕发明了世界上第一部平民可以使用的手机。 In April 1973, American technician Martin Cooper of the renowned Motorola company invented the world's first mobile phone that could be used by civilians.
02 电脑(美国) 世界上第一台通用计算机“ENIAC”于1946年2月14日在美国宾夕法尼亚大学诞生。发明人是美国人莫克利(JohnW.Mauchly)和艾克特。 The world's first general-purpose computer, "ENIAC," was born on February 14, 1946, at the University of Pennsylvania in the United States. The inventors were Americans John W. Mauchly and J. Presper Eckert.
03 高铁(德国) 德国是世界上试验高速列车最早的国家,时间可以追溯到一百多年前的1899年。当时普鲁士国家铁路联合10家电力和工程公司,在马林菲尔德至佐森长72公里的铁路线上进行高速列车试验。列车采用10KV、45HZ的三相交流电作为动力源。德国科隆道尔茨公司生产了2台轨道车,其中一辆车安装有西门子-哈尔斯克公司生产的电力设备,另一辆车的电力设备由德国AEG公司生产。 1965年,德国研制成功了DB Class 103电力机车,时速达到了200km/h。 Germany was the first country in the world to experiment with high-speed trains, dating back to over a hundred years ago in 1899. The Prussian State Railway, in collaboration with 10 electric and engineering companies, conducted high-speed train trials on a 72-kilometer railway line from Marienfelde to Zossen. The train used 10KV, 45HZ three-phase alternating current as its power source. In 1965, Germany successfully developed the DB Class 103 electric locomotive, which reached a speed of 200km/h.
04 飞机(美国) 莱特兄弟在1903年12月17日进行的飞行作为“第一次重于空气的航空器进行的受控的持续动力飞行”被国际航空联合会(FAI)所认可,同年他们创办了“莱特飞机公司”。 The Wright brothers' flight on December 17, 1903, was recognized by the International Aeronautical Federation (FAI) as the "first sustained, powered, heavier-than-air flight." That same year, they founded the "Wright Company."
05 光纤(美国) 1970年,美国康宁玻璃公司的卡普隆博士等三人经过多次的试验,终于研制出传输损耗仅为每千米20分贝的光纤。这样低损耗的光纤,在当时是惊人的成就,使光纤通信有了实现的可能。 In 1970, Dr. Kapron and two others from Corning Glass Company in the USA, after numerous experiments, finally developed fiber optics with a transmission loss of only 20 decibels per kilometer. This low-loss fiber optic was a remarkable achievement at the time, making optical communication a possibility.
06 卫星(前苏联) 1957年10月4日,前苏联人在拜科努尔发射场用P-7洲际导弹改装的“卫星”号运载火箭把世界上第一颗人造地球卫星“斯普特尼克1”号送入轨道,开创了人类航天新纪元。 On October 4, 1957, the former Soviet Union launched the world's first artificial Earth satellite, "Sputnik 1," using an R-7 intercontinental missile converted into a carrier rocket, marking the beginning of a new era in human space exploration.
07 光刻机(荷兰) 1984年4月1日,电子巨人荷兰飞利浦公司与荷兰先进半导体材料国际ASMI公司(1964年由Arthur del Prado创办,从代理起家逐步进入设备自己研发生产)各自出资210万美元合作成立了一家专注于开发光刻系统的公司,名字叫做ASM光刻,也就是今天的ASML,公司最初只有31名员工。公司成立的第一年,就推出了第一套光刻系统PAS2000 步进型。 On April 1, 1984, the electronic giant Philips and the Dutch advanced semiconductor materials company ASMI, founded by Arthur del Prado in 1964, formed a company dedicated to developing lithography systems, named ASM Lithography, now known as ASML. In its first year, the company introduced the first lithography system, the PAS2000 stepper.
08 核磁共振(美国) 20世纪30年代,美国物理学家伊西多·艾萨克·拉比就发现,在磁场中的原子核会沿磁场方向呈正向或反向有序平行排列,而施加无线电波之后,原子核的自旋方向发生翻转。这是人类关于原子核与磁场以及外加射频场相互作用的最早认识。 1946年,物理学家费利克斯·布洛赫和爱德华·米尔斯·珀塞耳发现位于磁场中的原子核受到高频电磁场激发会倾斜。而当高频场关闭后,原子核将释放吸收的能量,并且回归到原始状态。因其在磁共振成像理论基础方面的杰出贡献,伊西多·艾萨克·拉比获1944年诺贝尔物理学奖,费利克斯·布洛赫和爱德华·米尔斯·珀塞耳则分享了1952年诺贝尔物理学奖。 In the 1930s, American physicist Isidor Isaac Rabi discovered that the nuclei of atoms in a magnetic field would align themselves in a positive or negative orderly parallel manner. When radio waves were applied, the direction of the nuclear spin would flip. This was the earliest understanding of the interaction between atomic nuclei, magnetic fields, and an external radio frequency field by humans. In 1946, physicists Felix Bloch and Edward Mills Purcell discovered that the nuclei located in a magnetic field would tilt when excited by a high-frequency electromagnetic field. When the high-frequency field was turned off, the nuclei would release the absorbed energy and return to their original state. For their outstanding contributions to the theoretical basis of magnetic resonance imaging, Isidor Isaac Rabi was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1944, while Felix Bloch and Edward Mills Purcell shared the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1952.
09 B超(美国) 美国科学家伊恩·唐纳德教授(Ian Donald)于1950年发明B超,首次用于妇科检查。 In 1950, American scientist Professor Ian Donald invented the B-scan ultrasound, which was first used for gynecological examinations.
10 胃镜(德国) 最早的胃镜是德国人库斯莫尔在1868年借鉴江湖吞剑术发明的库斯莫尔管,它其实就是一根长金属管,末端装有镜子。但因为这种胃镜容易戳破病人食道,因此不久就废弃了。1950年,日本医生宇治达郎成功发明软式胃镜的雏形——胃内照相机。 The earliest gastroscope was the Kussmaul tube, invented by the German Kussmaul in 1868, inspired by sword swallowing. It was essentially a long metal tube with a mirror at the end. However, this type of gastroscope was easily puncturing the patient's esophagus and was soon abandoned. In 1950, Japanese doctor Taro Uji successfully invented the prototype of a flexible gastroscope, known as the gastric camera.
11 激光(美国) 激光的理论基础起源于物理学家爱因斯坦。1958年,美国科学家肖洛(Schawlow)和汤斯(Townes)发现了一种神奇的现象:当他们将氖光灯泡所发射的光照在一种稀土晶体上时,晶体的分子会发出鲜艳的、始终会聚在一起的强光。根据这一现象,他们提出了"激光原理",即物质在受到与其分子固有振荡频率相同的能量激发时,都会产生这种不发散的强光--激光。他们为此发表了重要论文,并获得1964年的诺贝尔物理学奖。 The theoretical basis of lasers originated from physicist Albert Einstein. In 1958, American scientists Schawlow and Townes discovered a miraculous phenomenon: when they shone the light emitted by a neon lamp on a rare earth crystal, the molecules of the crystal would emit a bright, always converging intense light. Based on this phenomenon, they proposed the "laser principle," which states that when matter is excited by energy with the same frequency as its molecular oscillation frequency, it will produce this non-divergent intense light - a laser. They published important papers on this and were awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1964.
12 电视(英国) 人们通常把1925年10月2日苏格兰人约翰·洛吉·贝尔德(John Logie Baird)在伦敦的一次实验中“扫描”出木偶的图像看作是电视诞生的标志,他被称做“电视之父”。但是,这种看法是有争议的。因为,也是在那一年,美国人斯福罗金(Vladimir Zworykin)在西屋公司(Westinghouse)向他的老板展示了他的电视系统。 美国RCA1939年推出世界上第一台黑白电视机,到1953年设定全美彩电标准以及1954年推出RCA彩色电视机。 People often regard the scanning of the image of a puppet by the Scottish John Logie Baird in London in October 1925 as the birth of television, and he is known as the "father of television." However, this view is controversial because in that same year, American Vladimir Zworykin demonstrated his television system to his boss at Westinghouse. The first black and white television was introduced by RCA in the United States in 1939, and the standards for color television were set in 1953, with RCA releasing the first color television in 1954.
13 汽车(德国) 1886年 卡尔·奔驰制造出世界上首辆三轮汽车;1888年 奔驰生产出世界上第一辆供出售的汽车。 In 1886, Karl Benz manufactured the world's first three-wheeled automobile. In 1888, Benz produced the world's first car for sale.
14 液晶显示器(美国) 19世纪后期,科学家就发现了液晶这种东西。液晶的特点是能够随着温度的变化,在浑浊和透明之间转变,但很多年间大家都不知道这东西有什么实际用处。一直到了1960年代,一家美国公司开始把液晶用于显示技术。 这家美国公司现在已经消失了,当初可是鼎鼎大名,叫美国无线电公司(Radio Corporation of America,简称(RCA),是彩色电视机的发明者,二战之后是美国乃至全世界电视机工业的主导者。 In the late 19th century, scientists discovered the existence of liquid crystal, which has the unique ability to change between opaque and transparent states with temperature variations. However, for many years, the practical applications of this substance remained unknown. It wasn't until the 1960s that an American company began using liquid crystal for display technology.
This renowned American company, the Radio Corporation of America (RCA), which was the inventor of color television and a dominant force in the television industry after World War II, has since disappeared.
15 地铁(英国) 世界上最早的 (也是第一条)地铁是英国伦敦的大都会地铁,建于1863年,其干线长度约6.5km,采用蒸汽机车。 The world's first and oldest subway, the London Underground, was built in 1863 in the United Kingdom. This initial line had a length of approximately 6.5 kilometers and operated using steam locomotives.
16 电梯(美国) 早在1852年,美国的E.G.奥蒂斯先生就发明了世界上第一部安全升降梯。他以“安全”开创了电梯工业,并建立了世界第一家电梯公司。从此,人类得以实现高瞻远瞩的梦想,同时,世界的高度也在不断地改变着。 In 1852, Mr. E.G. Otis of the United States invented the world's first safety elevator, revolutionizing the elevator industry and establishing the world's first elevator company. This invention allowed humans to reach new heights, both literally and metaphorically.
17 空调(美国) 1902年的7月17日,一位一周只挣10美元的美国人发明了世界上第一台空气调节器,他就是威利斯·哈维兰·卡里尔。 On July 17, 1902, a man named Willis Haviland Carrier, who earned only $10 a week, invented the world's first air conditioner in the United States.
18 燃气热水器(英国) 1868年,英国伦敦有位叫本杰明莫恩的画家发明了第一台不使用固体燃料的瞬时热水器,并命名为“间歇泉”。1895年,德国博世集团推出世界第一台快速燃气热水器。 In 1868, Benjamin Waddy Maughan, a London-based painter, invented the first instantaneous water heater that did not use solid fuel, naming it the "Geyser". In 1895, the German company Bosch introduced the world's first rapid gas water heater.
19 电风扇(美国) 第一个真正意义上的电风扇是是美国人舒乐于1880年发明的。舒乐首次将叶片直接装在电动机上,再接上电源,叶片飞速转动,阵阵凉风扑面而来,这电风扇就是世界上第一台电风扇。 The first true electric fan was invented by American Schuyler Wheeler in 1880. Wheeler directly attached the blades to an electric motor, creating the world's first electric fan that produced a refreshing breeze.
20 柴油机(德国) 鲁道夫·狄赛尔(Rudolf Diesel,1858.3.18~1913.9.30)是柴油机的发明人,被誉为柴油机之父。德语的柴油一词,就是从他的名字而来的。第一次世界大战时,他的柴油机成为各国潜艇的主要动力。如今,他发明的柴油机,在汽车、船舶等整个工业领域都得到越来越广泛的发展。 Rudolf Diesel, the inventor of the diesel engine, is hailed as the father of this technology. The German word "diesel" is derived from his name. During World War I, his diesel engine became the primary power source for submarines. Today, his invention has seen widespread use in the automotive, maritime, and other industrial sectors.
21 客车(法国) 1891年,法国人庞纳赫制造出世界上第一辆客车;次年,美国人杜里埃也造出了一辆。这种车既具有轿车的舒适性,又具有大型公共汽车的载客量大的特点,深受坐惯了四轮马车的人喜欢。 In 1891, Frenchman Panhard manufactured the world's first passenger car, followed by an American, Durie, the next year. These vehicles combined the comfort of a sedan with the high passenger capacity of a large bus, making them popular among those accustomed to horse-drawn carriages.
22 LED(美国) LED是美国工程师尼克·何伦亚克发明的,早出现在美国。尼克·何伦亚克(Nick Holonyak Jr ,1928年11月3日—),美国工程师,发明家。因其在1962年发明了第一种可见光发光二极管(LED),从而掀起了人类自爱迪生发明电灯泡以来照明史的第二次革命。因此被称为“LED之父”。 LED was invented by American engineer Nick Holonyak Jr. and first appeared in the United States. Nick Holonyak Jr. (November 3, 1928 – ), an American engineer and inventor, is known as the "Father of LED" for his invention of the first visible light-emitting diode (LED) in 1962, which sparked the second revolution in the history of lighting since Thomas Edison's invention of the light bulb.
23 无人机(英国) 1917年3月,在第一次世界大战临近结束之际,世界上第一架无人驾驶飞机在英国皇家飞行训练学校进行了第一次飞行试验。可是飞机刚起飞不久,发动机突然熄火,飞机因失速而坠毁。 1927年,由A.M.洛教授参与研制的“喉”式单翼无人机在英国海军“堡垒”号军舰上成功地进行了试飞。该机载有113公斤炸弹,以每小时322公里的速度飞行了480公里。“喉”式无人机的问世在当时的世界上曾引起极大的轰动。 In March 1917, as the end of World War I approached, the world's first unmanned aerial vehicle conducted its first flight test at the Royal Flying Corps in the United Kingdom. However, shortly after takeoff, the engine suddenly stalled and the aircraft crashed due to a stall.
In 1927, the "Queen Bee" single-wing drone developed by Professor A.M. Lowe successfully conducted a test flight on the British Navy's "Fortress" ship. The aircraft, carrying 113 kilograms of bombs, flew at a speed of 322 kilometers per hour for 480 kilometers. The introduction of the "Queen Bee" drone caused a great sensation in the world at that time.
24 工业机器人(美国) 1958年,美国麻省理工学院的工程师德沃尔遇到了发明家约瑟夫•英格伯格,两个人在机器人研究理念上一拍即合。1959年,英格伯格和德沃尔分工协作,制作出了世界上第一台类似于坦克的工业机器人。 这台工业机器人的“身体”部分为一个大型的基座,在基座的顶端有一个大机械臂,它可以绕着基座做圆周旋转。机械臂上,有一个可以任意伸缩的小机械臂,小机械臂的末端,设有一个可以做仰俯、侧摇动作的圆盘。这台机器是专门为诸如汽车等重型工业的生产而设计的,是一台实用性很强的机器人。随后,英格伯格和德沃尔成立了尤尼梅逊公司,开始了“万能自动”工业机器人的生产。英格伯格也因此被称为“工业机器人之父”。 In 1958, engineer Devol met inventor Joseph Engelberger at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and the two immediately hit it off with their ideas for robot research. In 1959, Engelberger and Devol worked together to create the world's first tank-like industrial robot.
The "body" of this industrial robot is a large base, with a large mechanical arm at the top that can rotate around the base. On the mechanical arm, there is a small arm that can be extended and retracted, with a disc at the end that can perform tilting and swiveling movements. This robot was designed specifically for heavy industrial production such as automobiles and is a highly practical machine. Subsequently, Engelberger and Devol founded the Unimation company and began production of the "Versatile Automatic" industrial robot. Engelberger is also known as the "Father of Industrial Robots" for this achievement.
25 二维码(日本) 二维码 ,又称二维条码,二维条形码最早发明于日本,1994年日本 Denso Wave 发明的QR码,用于汽版车制造,主要目权的是在制作过程中保持每一个部件的行踪正确。 The QR code, also known as a two-dimensional barcode, was first invented in Japan. In 1994, Denso Wave in Japan invented the QR code for use in automobile manufacturing, with the main purpose being to ensure the correct tracking of each component during the production process.
26 显微镜(意大利) 世界上最早的显微镜诞生于1590年,是荷兰一位名叫詹森的眼镜匠在偶然机会中发现的。1665年,英国物理学家胡克自制了一架由上下两块透镜组成的复合显微镜,形成了显微镜的基本机制。胡克用这架显微镜第一次发现了细胞,“cell”一词即为他所定名,一直沿用至今。现在这架显微镜存放在英国伦敦科学博物馆。 The world's first microscope was born in 1590 and was discovered by a Dutch eyeglass maker named Jansen. In 1665, British physicist Robert Hooke made a compound microscope consisting of two lenses, forming the basic mechanism of the microscope. Hooke used this microscope to first discover cells, and the term "cell" was coined by him and has been used ever since. This microscope is now housed in the London Science Museum.
27 青蒿素(中国) 2015年10月8日,中国科学家屠呦呦获2015年诺贝尔生理学或医学奖,成为第一个获得诺贝尔自然学奖的中国人。多年从事中药和中西药结合研究的屠呦呦,创造性地研制出抗疟新药——青蒿素和双氢青蒿素,获得对疟原虫100%的抑制率,为中医药走向世界指明一条方向。 On October 8, 2015, Chinese scientist Tu Youyou was awarded the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, becoming the first Chinese person to win the Nobel Prize in the natural sciences. Tu Youyou, who has been engaged in the research of traditional Chinese medicine and the combination of traditional Chinese and Western medicine for many years, creatively developed the anti-malaria drugs artemisinin and dihydroartemisinin, achieving a 100% inhibition rate against the malaria parasite. This breakthrough has paved the way for traditional Chinese medicine to make its mark on the world stage.
28 杂交水稻(中国) 杂交水稻的基本思想和技术,以及首次成功的实现是由美国人Henry Beache在1963年于印度尼西亚完成的,Henry Beache也被学术界某些人称为杂交水稻之父,并由此获得1996年的世界粮食奖。由于Henry Beache的设想和方案存在着某些缺陷,无法进行大规模的推广。 袁隆平于1971年2月调到湖南省农业科学院专门从事杂交水稻研究工作。1986年提出“两系法亚种间杂种优势利用”的发展观点,经6年艰难攻关,与研究人员成功地突破了两系杂交稻关键技术并推广应用,取得了良好的增产效果。1997年提出“杂交水稻超高产育种”的技术路线,在国际上引起高度重视。1995年他当选为中国工程院院士。被称为杂交水稻之父。 中国发明的杂交水稻,除国内发展迅速外,在国外,已有越南、印度尼西亚、菲律宾和美国在大面积生产上应用,并取得了显著的增产效果。 The basic concept and technology of hybrid rice, as well as its first successful implementation, were completed by American scientist Henry Beach in Indonesia in 1963. Some in the academic community even refer to Henry Beach as the father of hybrid rice, and he was awarded the World Food Prize in 1996. However, due to certain flaws in Beach's ideas and plans, large-scale promotion was not possible.
In 1971, Yuan Longping was transferred to the Hunan Academy of Agricultural Sciences to specifically engage in the research of hybrid rice. In 1986, he proposed the development concept of "utilizing heterosis of inter-subspecific hybridization," and after six years of arduous research, he and his team successfully broke through the key technologies of two-line hybrid rice and applied them, achieving significant increases in yield. In 1997, he proposed the technical route of "super-high-yielding breeding of hybrid rice," which garnered high international attention. In 1995, he was elected as an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and was hailed as the father of hybrid rice.
Chinese-invented hybrid rice, in addition to rapid development domestically, has also been widely applied in large-scale production in Vietnam, Indonesia, the Philippines, and the United States, achieving significant increases in yield.
29 牛胰岛素(中国) 早在1948年,英国生物化学家桑格就选择了一种分子量小,但具有蛋白质全部结构特征的牛胰岛素作为实验的典型材料进行研究,于1952年搞清了牛胰岛素的G链和O链上所有氨基酸的排列次序以及这两个链的结合方式。次年,他宣布破译出由17种51个氨基酸组成的两条多肽链牛胰岛素的全部结构。这是人类第一次搞清一种重要蛋白质分子的全部结构。桑格也因此荣获1958年诺贝尔化学奖。 1965年9月17日,中国首次人工合成了结晶牛胰岛素,这是人类有史以来第一次人工合成有生命的蛋白质。实验的成功标志着人类在认识生命、探索生命奥秘的征途中迈出了关键性的一步,它是继从无机物中取得第一种有机物尿素之后而出现的第二次飞跃。 As early as 1948, British biochemist Frederick Sanger chose bovine insulin, a molecule with a small molecular weight but possessing all the structural characteristics of a protein, as the typical material for his research. In 1952, he elucidated the arrangement of all the amino acids on the G chain and O chain of bovine insulin, as well as the way these two chains bind. The following year, he announced the deciphering of the complete structure of bovine insulin, composed of two polypeptide chains consisting of 17 and 51 amino acids, respectively. This marked the first time that humans had clarified the complete structure of an important protein molecule, and Sanger was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1958 for this achievement.
On September 17, 1965, China successfully synthesized crystalline bovine insulin for the first time, marking the first time in human history that a living protein had been artificially synthesized. This successful experiment signified a crucial step forward for humanity in understanding life and exploring its mysteries, representing the second leap forward after the first organic compound, urea, was obtained from inorganic substances.
30 互联网(美国) 互联网之父,指互联网的创始人、发明人,这一美称被先后授予多人,包括:蒂姆·伯纳斯·李(Tim Berners-Lee)、温顿·瑟夫(Vint Cerf 原名:Vinton Gray "Vint" Cerf )、罗伯特·卡恩(Robert Elliot Kahn)等, 所以“互联网之父不是一个人,而是一个群体。 种下第一颗互联网种子的是美国高级研究计划署APPA(Advanced Research Project Agency)。该组织发布了第一个互联网的鼻祖,名字叫APPANet,中文名字叫“阿帕网”。阿帕网在1969年开始正式投入运行,在1990年正式退役。这21年间,在阿帕网上,很多的研究机构,大学,纷纷做出了很多或普通,或惊艳的贡献,无数的人在上面添上自己的一砖一瓦,最后孕育出了我们现在使用的互联网。 The United States is known as the birthplace of the Internet, with several individuals being recognized as the "fathers" of the Internet, including Tim Berners-Lee, Vint Cerf, and Robert Kahn. Therefore, the title of "father of the Internet" is not attributed to a single person, but rather to a collective group of innovators.
The first seeds of the Internet were planted by the Advanced Research Project Agency (APPA) in the United States. The organization released the precursor to the Internet, called APPANet, in 1969, which was officially retired in 1990. Over the course of 21 years, numerous research institutions and universities made significant contributions on APPANet, leading to the development of the Internet as we know it today.
31 打印机(美国) 世界上第一台针式打印机是由Centronics公司推出的,可由于当时技术上的不完善,没有推广进入市场,所以几乎没有人记住它。一直到了1968年9月由日本精工株式会社推出EP-101针式打印机,这才是被人们誉为第一款商品化的针式打印机。 世界上第一台喷墨打印机出生于1984年的HP公司。60年代末Xerox公司发明第一台激光打印机 1992年联想集团与激光打印机的发明者——美国XEROX公司合作,研制第一代中文激光打印机。 The first dot matrix printer was introduced by Centronics, but due to technological limitations, it did not gain widespread popularity. It wasn't until 1968 when the EP-101 dot matrix printer was released by the Japanese company, Seiko Epson, that the first commercially successful dot matrix printer was recognized. The first inkjet printer was born in 1984 by HP, and in the late 1960s, Xerox invented the first laser printer. In 1992, Lenovo Group collaborated with Xerox to develop the first generation of Chinese laser printers.
32 自行车(法德) 8世纪末,法国人西夫拉克发明了最早的自行车。这辆最早的自行车是木制的,它的结构比较简单,既没有驱动装置,也没有转向装置,骑车人靠双脚用力蹬地前行,改变方向时也只能下车搬动车子。即使这样,当西夫拉克骑着这辆自行车到公园兜风时,在场的人也都颇为惊异和赞叹。 1818年,德国人德莱斯在法国巴黎发明了带车把的木制两轮自行车。这种自行车虽然仍旧用脚蹬才能前行,但是可以一边前行一边改变方向,它一问世便引起了人们的极大兴趣。 In the late 8th century, the Frenchman Sivrac invented the earliest form of the bicycle. This wooden bicycle had a simple structure, lacking both a driving mechanism and a steering device. Despite its limitations, Sivrac's invention garnered astonishment and admiration when he rode it in the park. In 1818, the German inventor Karl Drais created a wooden bicycle with handlebars in Paris, France. Although it still required pedaling with the feet to move forward, it allowed for changing directions while riding, sparking great interest among people.
33 核电站(前苏联) 1954年6月,前苏联在奥布宁斯克建成世界上第一座原子能发电站,这座核电站的反应堆是浓缩铀石墨水冷却堆,热功率是3万千瓦,发电功率为5000千瓦,可供6000居民的小镇用电。这座核电站的诞生,揭开了人类和平利用原子能的新纪元,具有里程碑的作用。 In June 1954, the former Soviet Union completed the world's first nuclear power plant in Obninsk. The reactor used in the power plant was a concentrated uranium graphite-water cooled reactor, with a thermal power of 30,000 kilowatts and a generating capacity of 5000 kilowatts, providing electricity for a small town of 6000 residents. The birth of this nuclear power plant marked a milestone in the peaceful use of atomic energy, ushering in a new era for humanity.
34 电商(美国) 电子商务最早起源于美国,1995年是因特网的电子商务诞生之日。事实上,电子商务并非是一种刚诞生的事物。早在本世纪70年代,电子数据交换(EDI)和电子资金传送(EFT)作为企业间电子商务应用的系统雏形,已经出现。多年来,大量的银行、航空公司、连锁店及制造业单位已建立了供方和客户间的电子通信和处理关系。这种方式加快了供方处理速度,有助于实现最优化管理,使得操作更有效率,并提高了对客户服务的质量。 The birth of e-commerce in the United States dates back to 1995, the day when electronic commerce on the Internet was born. In fact, e-commerce is not a newly born thing. As early as the 1970s, the embryonic form of electronic data interchange (EDI) and electronic funds transfer (EFT) as applications of e-commerce between enterprises had already appeared. Over the years, a large number of banks, airlines, chain stores, and manufacturing units have established electronic communication and processing relationships between suppliers and customers. This method accelerates the processing speed of suppliers, helps achieve optimized management, makes operations more efficient, and improves the quality of customer service.
35 代码(美国) 世界上第一个程序是1842年写的,恰好在第一个能u被称为计算机的真正机器。这段代码的作者是Ada Augusta,被封为Lovelace女伯爵,就是大家所知道的Ada Lovelace。作为世界上第一个计算机程序的作者,她被广泛地认为是有史以来第一位程序员。 The world's first program was written in 1842, coinciding with the creation of the first machine that could truly be called a computer. The author of this code was Ada Augusta, who was later known as Countess Lovelace, or more commonly, Ada Lovelace. As the author of the world's first computer program, she is widely recognized as the first programmer in history.
36 架桥机(意大利) 架桥机是专门针对搭造大吨位的混凝土箱梁而设计的一款机器,最早是被意大利的一家公司研制出来的。 The bridge girder erection machine is a machine designed specifically for building large-tonnage concrete box girders, and it was first developed by a company in Italy.
37 纳米技术(美国) 纳米技术的灵感,来自于已故物理学家理查德·费曼1959年所作的一次题为《在底部还有很大空间》的演讲。这位当时在加州理工大学任教的教授向同事们提出了一个新的想法。从石器时代开始,人类从磨尖箭头到光刻芯片的所有技术,都与一次性地削去或者融合数以亿计的原子以便把物质做成有用的形态有关。 70年代,科学家开始从不同角度提出有关纳米科技的构想,1974年,科学家谷口纪男(Norio Taniguchi)最早使用纳米技术一词描述精密机械加工; The inspiration for nanotechnology came from a lecture entitled "There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom" given in 1959 by the late physicist Richard Feynman. The professor, who was teaching at the California Institute of Technology at the time, proposed a new idea to his colleagues. Since the Stone Age, all human technology, from grinding arrowheads to lithographic chips, has involved the one-time removal or fusion of billions of atoms to shape matter into useful forms. In the 1970s, scientists began to propose ideas about nanotechnology from different perspectives. In 1974, scientist Norio Taniguchi was the first to use the term nanotechnology to describe precision mechanical processing.
38 洗衣机(美国) 一个叫汉密尔顿·史密斯的美国人在匹茨堡制成了世界上第一台洗衣机,同年史密斯取得了这台洗衣机的专利权。但这台洗衣机使用费力,且损伤衣服,因而没被广泛使用,但这却标志了用机器洗衣的开端。次年在德国出现了一种用捣衣杵作为搅拌器的洗衣机,当捣衣杵上下运动时,装有弹簧的木钉便连续作用于衣服。 The first washing machine was invented by an American named Hamilton Smith in Pittsburgh, and he obtained the patent for the washing machine the same year. However, this washing machine was labor-intensive and damaged clothes, so it was not widely used. Nevertheless, this marked the beginning of machine washing. The following year, a washing machine with a pounding stick as a beater appeared in Germany, and when the pounding stick moved up and down, the spring-loaded wooden nails continuously acted on the clothes.
39 冰箱(美国) 第一台用电动机带动压缩机工作的冰箱是由瑞典工程师布莱顿和孟德斯于1923年发明的。后来一家美国公司买去了他们的专利,1925年生产出第一批家用电冰箱。 The first refrigerator powered by an electric motor driving a compressor was invented by Swedish engineers Braiton and Mendes in 1923. Later, an American company bought their patent and produced the first batch of household refrigerators in 1925.
40 避孕套(英国) 现存世界上最古老的安全套诞生于1640年前后,是利用鱼鳔和动物肠子制成的,已经有300多年的历史。现代安全套诞生于17世纪的英国,用小羊的盲肠制成,主要用来防范疾病。 The oldest known condom in the world dates back to around 1640 and was made from fish bladder and animal intestines, with a history of over 300 years. Modern condoms were born in 17th century England, made from the blind gut of a small lamb, mainly used to prevent disease.
41 试管婴儿(英国) 1978年7月25日,在英国,一个名叫路易斯·布朗的婴儿诞生了。她与其他金发碧眼的小女孩没有什么区别,但是全世界的新闻媒体,都把聚焦的镜头对准了她,因为她有一个特殊的称谓:"试管婴儿"。试管婴儿的诞生,曾经引起全世界的轰动,西方媒体用这样的标题报道了这一医学成就:“人类可以是自己的上帝。” On July 25, 1978, a baby girl named Louise Brown was born in the UK. She looked no different from any other blonde-haired, blue-eyed baby girl, but the world's media focused on her because she had a special title: "test-tube baby." The birth of the test-tube baby caused a sensation worldwide, and Western media reported this medical achievement with headlines such as "Humans Can Be Their Own Gods."
42 气垫船(英国) 气垫船最早是由柯克莱尔在1950年提出,将压缩的空气作为船体和水面之间的“气垫”,让船只能够减小水面的阻力,以更快的速度行驶的一种新型船只。关于第一艘气垫船的诞生众说纷纭,但是目前比较得到认可的是1959年柯克莱尔建造的“SRN1”是世界上第一艘气垫船。 The concept of the hovercraft was first proposed by Christopher Cockerell in 1950, using compressed air as a "cushion" between the hull and the water surface to reduce water resistance and allow the vessel to travel at faster speeds. The birth of the first hovercraft is a topic of debate, but the 1959 "SRN1" constructed by Cockerell is widely recognized as the world's first hovercraft.
43 心脏起搏器(美国) 1958年,由美国工程师Earl Bakken制造的第一台体积、质量均较小的起搏器,被成功植入人体,成为世界首例全埋藏式人工心脏起搏器。自此,起搏器在临床中的运用越来越广泛。 In 1958, the first compact and lightweight pacemaker manufactured by American engineer Earl Bakken was successfully implanted into a human body, becoming the world's first fully implantable artificial pacemaker. Since then, pacemakers have been increasingly used in clinical practice.
44 助听器(美国) 1878年,美国科学家Bell发明了第一台炭精式助听器。这种助听器是由炭精传声器、耳机、电池、电线等部件组装而成。 In 1878, American scientist Bell invented the first carbon granule hearing aid. This type of hearing aid was assembled from components such as a carbon granule transmitter, earphone, battery, and wires.
45 隐形眼镜(德国) 把镜片直接戴在眼睛的想法,早在1508年被达芬奇提出,首先描述将玻璃罐盛满水置于角膜前,以玻璃的表面替代角膜的光学功能。1887年,德国科学家Adolf Eugen Fick成功制造出第一只隐形眼镜。 The idea of directly placing lenses on the eyes was first proposed by Leonardo da Vinci in 1508. He described using a glass vial filled with water placed in front of the cornea to replace the optical function of the cornea. In 1887, German scientist Adolf Eugen Fick successfully manufactured the first contact lenses.
46 芯片(美国) 1958年9月12日,基尔比和助手谢泼德(MShepherd)给阿德考克和组里的其他同事演示了他的实验。一周后,基尔比用同样的方法成功地做出了一个触发电路。基尔比的电路告诉人们,将各种电子器件集成在一个晶片上是可行的。基尔比因为这个发明,2000年,他获得了诺贝尔奖。 On September 12, 1958, Jack Kilby and his assistant, M. Shepherd, demonstrated their experiment to Adcock and other colleagues. A week later, Kilby successfully created a trigger circuit using the same method. Kilby's circuit showed that integrating various electronic devices onto a single chip was feasible. For this invention, Kilby was awarded the Nobel Prize in 2000.
