7 A Blast from the Past

CHAPTER 7 A BLAST FROM THE PAST In the library, Mrs. Beamster tells us about great scientists from the past. A guy named Galleyoyo said the earth was not the center of the universe. He made a lot of self-centered people mad.

在图书馆里，比姆斯特夫人给我们讲述过去伟大科学家的故事。 一个叫伽列约的人说地球不是宇宙的中心。 他让很多以自我为中心的人疯狂。

When Christopher Columbus said the earth was round, a lot of squares gave him a hard time. Another guy named Listermint, made people angry when he told them to wash their hands to kill germs. I think that he was in Germany. And a scientist named Pasture washed milk to get rid of Parisites. I think that he was from Paris. HOLD UP YOUR ARMS PLEASE.

当克里斯托弗·哥伦布说地球是圆的时候，许多正方形让他很为难。 另一个叫李斯特薄荷的家伙，让人们很生气，因为他告诉他们要洗手来杀死细菌。 我想他当时在德国。 一位名叫帕斯朗的科学家通过清洗牛奶来去除杂质。 我想他是巴黎人。 请举起你的手臂。

Another scientist named Newton was hit by a fig and invented the Fig Newton. Ben Frankly was shocked when every- one told him to go fly a kite. And Alexander Graham Bell invented graham crackers for your belly. WOW!

另一位名叫牛顿的科学家被无花果击中，发明了无花果牛顿。 坦率地说，当每个人都叫本去放风筝时，他很震惊。 亚历山大·格雷厄姆·贝尔为你的肚子发明了全麦饼干。 哇!

Mrs. Beamster says that every- thing we have today came from someone's imagination. And all the things we'll have tomorrow will come from ours. Boy, am I pumped! CARS WITHOUT WHEELS. YOUR VERY OWN WALKING AIR CONDITIONER. HI, MOM. A TOOTH PHONE YOU ALWAYS HAVE IN YOUR MOUTH. EXACT SIZE. ACHOO! A PILL TO CURE THE COMMON COLD.

比姆斯特夫人说我们今天所拥有的一切都来自于某人的想象。 我们明天所拥有的一切都来自于我们。 天啊，我好兴奋啊！没有轮子的汽车。 你自己的步行空调。 嗨,妈妈。一个你一直含在嘴里的牙齿电话。 确切的大小。啊嚏!一种治疗普通感冒的药丸。
