  Genius at Work  天才在工作


    Henry Ford 1 didn’t always pay attention in school. One day ,he and a friend took a watch apart.  Angry and upset, the teacher told him both to stay after school. Their punishment was to stay until  they had fixed 2 the watch. But the teacher did not know young Ford’s genius. In ten minutes, this  mechanical wizard had repaired the watch and was on this way home..    Ford was always interested in how things worked. He once plugged up the spout 3 of a teapot and  placed it on the fire. Then he waited to see what would happen. The water boiled and, of course,  turned   to   steam.   Since   the   steam   had   no   way   to   escape,   the   teapot   exploded.   The   explosion  cracked a mirror and broke a window. The young inventor was badly scalded    Ford’s year of curiosity and tinkering paid off. He dreamed of a horseless carriage. When he  built one, the world of transportation was changed forever.    


 亨利.福特在学校里常常心不在焉。有一天,他和一个小朋友把一块手表拆开了。老师很  生气,让他们放学后留下来,把表修好才能回家。当时这位老师并不知道小福特的天才。只用了十分钟,这位机械奇才就把手表修好,走在回家的路上了。    福特对各种东西的工作原理总是很感兴趣。曾有一次,他把茶壶嘴用东西堵住,然后把茶  壶放在火炉上。他便站在一边等候着会出现什么情况。当然,水开后变成了水蒸气。因为水  蒸气无处逸出,茶壶便爆炸了,因而打碎了一面镜子和一扇窗户。这个小发明家也被严重地  烫伤了。    多年后,福特的好奇心和他的动手能力使他得到了回报。他曾经梦想着去制造一辆无马行  进的车。他造成了一辆这样的车后,运输界发生了永久性的变化。
