For the Love of Kids

For the Love of Kids Some people do things for money. But Jonas Salk did things for people. Mr. Salk was born into a poor family. But he studied hard and became a scientist. At that time, a terrible childhood disease was killing many kids. It was making others very sick and unable to walk. It was called polio. It scared people everywhere. They wanted someone to find a way to protect children from this disease. But that was not easy. Nevertheless, Jonas Salk worked hard. In 1952, he discovered a vaccination that worked.

给孩子们的爱 有些人做事是为了钱。但乔纳斯·索尔克克为人们做了很多事。索尔克先生出生在一个贫穷的家庭。 但他努力学习，成为了一名科学家。 当时，一种可怕的儿童疾病夺去了很多孩子的生命。它使其他人病得很重，无法行走。 它被称为脊髓灰质炎。它吓坏了各地的人们。他们希望有人能找到保护儿童免受这种疾病侵害的方法。但这并不容易。 尽管如此，乔纳斯·索尔克还是努力工作。 1952年，他发现了一种有效的疫苗。

Soon, polio began to disappear. The world was very happy. They honoured the great scientist. Mr. Salk could have made a lot of money from his discovery. But he decided that he did not want to do that. He gave away his discovery for free. When a writer asked him why, he said, " I want as many kids as possible to get this vaccination. That alone will make me happy. "

不久，小儿麻痹症开始消失。全世界都很高兴。他们尊敬这位伟大的科学家。 索尔克先生本可以从他的发现中赚很多钱。但他决定不这么做。他免费赠送了他的发现。 当一位作家问他为什么时，他说:“我想让尽可能多的孩子接种疫苗。仅这一点就能使我快乐。”
