[01:56.98]1 How was one telephone connected with another in the past?

[02:03.53]2 How is one telephone connected with another today?

[02:10.19]TELEPHONES

[02:13.07]How a telephone works 2 is a question which not everyone can answer.

[02:24.17]the sound waves of your voice are turned into electrical signals 4.

[02:27.50]你声音的声波就变成了电信号.

[02:30.83]The signal 3 is sent down a pair of wires to the receiving telephone.

[02:34.11]这个信号沿着两根导线被送到受话机上,

[02:37.39]There the electrical signal is changed back into sound.

[02:40.51]在那儿电信号又变回成了声音.

[02:43.63]The earliest telephones were not popular

[02:46.01]最早的电话并不受人欢迎

[02:48.39]and it took a long time before people began to hire or buy them.

[02:54.86]At the beginning it was difficult to hear people over long distances.

[02:58.55]开始很难听到远方的人讲话的声音.

[03:02.23]The wires which carried the telephone conversations were thick,

[03:05.21]传送电话的导线很粗,很重,

[03:08.19]heavy and expensive.

[03:09.96]又很贵,

[03:11.74]In those days,to make a call,

[03:16.28]you had to wind a handle at the side of your telephone.

[03:19.31]那时,你要打电话就得转动电话机旁的摇柄.

[03:22.34]This produced enough electricity to make your call.

[03:25.02]这才会产生足够的电供你打电话.

[03:27.70]You called the operator 5 and told her which number you wanted.

[04:27.05]radio waves can be used to send telephone signals over long distances,

[04:34.81]often by satellite 7.

[04:36.58]经常通过卫星来传送的.

[04:38.36]The problem with electrical signals

[04:40.49]电信号有一个难题

[04:42.62]is that they get weaker and weaker as they travel along metal wires.

[04:46.00]就是当其沿着金属导线传送时,信号就会变得越来越弱.

[04:49.38]They need to be strengthened 8 every3-4 km 9.

[04:52.57]因此,每隔3-4公里,信号就得增强.

[04:55.76]Light signals,however,

[04:59.42]can travel 150 km without getting weaker and their signal is clearer too.

[05:04.04]能传输150公里而不减弱而且光信号也比较清晰

[05:08.66]So nowadays,instead of using metal wires to send electrical signals,

[05:12.24]因此,当今不用金属导线来传送信号了,

[05:15.82]very thin glass pipes,about 1 mm wide,are used to send light signals.

[05:20.80]而用光纤管来传送光信号这种光纤管只有一毫米宽.

[05:25.77]A person's voice is changed into electrical signals.

[05:28.75]人的声音先变成电信号,

[05:31.73]These electrical signals are turned into light signals

[05:37.89]which are sent down the thin "pipe".

[05:39.93]沿着这种纤细的"管子"传送出去.

[05:41.97]At the other end,the light signals are received

[06:54.46]you only have to dial a single number.
