Leonardo da Vinci was a painter and an inventor. 翻译：莱昂纳多·达·芬奇是一位画家兼发明家。

Leonardo da Vinci was born on April 15th, 1452 in a northern Italian town. He is considered one of the greatest painters of all time. He is still famous today because of the Mona Lisa and other well-known paintings. However, not many people know he was also an engineer and an inventor. 翻译：莱昂纳多·达·芬奇于1452年4月15日出生在意大利北部的一个小镇上。他被认为是有史以来最伟大的画家之一。由于《蒙娜丽莎》和其他的著名画作，他至今仍很有名。然而，并没有多少人知道他还是一位工程师兼发明家。

Da Vinci was interested in science and art, and he was a pioneer in many areas. He drew plans and pictures and wrote about his many ideas in his diaries. Since he died on May 2nd, 1519, people have been learning from them. They included plans for an adding machine, bridges as well as drawings of musical instruments, flying machines and machines for war, such as guns. 翻译：达·芬奇对科学和艺术都很感兴趣，他是许多领域中的先驱。他绘制过设计图，画过画，还在日记里记载了他的许多想法。自从他于1519年5月2日去世以来，人们就一直在从中学习。它们包括了计算器和桥梁的设计图以及乐器、飞行机器和战争用的机器，如枪等图纸。

Since many of da Vinci's inventions were far ahead of their time, they were only tested hundreds of years later. Because he couldn't test them, not all of da Vinci's plans worked out as well as he wished. However, some of his ideas worked well. For example, one of his bridges was finally built 500 years after it was drawn and flying machines, such as helicopters, are very common now. 翻译：因为达·芬奇的很多发明都远远走在了他们那个时代的前面，所以它们只有在数百年后才被测试。因为达芬奇无法测试它们，所以并非所有计划都如他所希望的那样取得成功。然而，他的有些想法却奏效了。例如，他所设计的其中一座桥梁在500年后终于被建成了，而且飞行机器，比如直升机，现在也非常普遍。

Some think da Vinci wanted to keep his ideas secret as he wrote his diary in code. Others think it was just easier for him to write this way because he was left-handed. Either way, da Vinci's diaries can only be read with a mirror because everything is written backwards. As it took some time to translate the diaries, they were published more than 150 years after his death. 翻译：有些人认为达·芬奇想将他的想法保密，因为他用密码写日记。另一些人认为他这样写只是为了更方便，因为他是个左撇子。不管怎样，达·芬奇的日记只能用镜子来读，因为一切都是倒着写的。因为翻译这些日记需要一些时间，所以它们是在他死后150多年才被出版。

Da Vinci's drawing of an early helicopter. You can see his special Italian writing below the drawing. 翻译：达·芬奇的早期直升机图纸。在这张图纸下方你可以看见他那特殊的意大利笔迹。

Popsicles 翻译：冰棍

Popsicles were invented by 11-year-old Frank Epperson in 1905. He forgot a drink of juice and left it with a stir stick in it outside on a cold night. The next day it was ice. Because of this he couldn't drink it any more, but he could eat it. It tasted good! These ice sticks became popular among kids at school in summer because they were delicious and helped them stay cool. More than a hundred years later, popsicles are still one of the best summer treats! 翻译：冰棍是1905年由11岁的弗兰克·埃珀森所发明的。在一个寒冷的夜晚，他把一杯果汁忘在了外面，里面放着一根搅拌棒。第二天，它结冰了。因此，他不能再喝它了，但是他能吃它。味道好极了！夏天，这些冰棍在学校的孩子们当中变得很受欢迎，因为它们既好吃，又可以帮助他们保持凉爽。一百多年后，冰棍仍然是最好的夏日甜点之一！

Earmuffs 翻译：耳罩

When 15-year-old Chester Greenwood was ice-skating in Farmington, Maine, in 1873, his ears were so cold that he couldn't bear it. Although he tried covering his head in a scarf, it was not comfortable. After some thinking, Greenwood made wire into two circles and asked his grandmother to sew fur on them. He then connected them with a steel headband and the first earmuffs were invented! 翻译：1873年，当15岁的切斯特·格林伍德在法明顿缅因州滑冰的时候，他的耳朵冻得厉害，以至于他无法忍受。虽然他试过用围巾盖住他的头，但是那样并不舒服。经过一番思考之后，格林伍德把金属丝做成了两个圈，并且请他的奶奶在上面缝了毛皮。然后他就用钢制的头带把它们连起来，于是第一副耳罩就这样被发明出来了！

Crayon holders 翻译：蜡笔套

When 11-year-old Cassidy Goldstein needed crayons for a school project, she had a hard time because there were so many small or broken ones. She found some small clear plastic tubes at home. Although the tiny tubes were usually filled with water to keep flowers fresh, she found that they fit tightly around the crayons. She was now able to hold them easily. This is how she invented Crayon Holders. 翻译：当11岁的卡西迪·戈德斯坦需要蜡笔来完成一个学校课题的时候，她吃了不少苦头，因为有那么多小蜡笔或破损的蜡笔。她发现家里有一些小的透明塑料管。虽然那些微小的管子通常都装满水，以保持花朵鲜艳，但她发现它们可以与蜡笔周围紧密贴合。她现在能够很容易握住它们了。这就是她发明蜡笔套的方式。

Wristies 翻译：手腕套

While some kids just complain when snow gets in their mittens and their hands get wet, 10-year-old Kathryn Gregory decided to do something about it. She created the first pair of Wristies as she wanted to keep her wrists warm and dry. Wristies are long gloves with no fingers and they are worn under your mittens and coat. They can also be worn by themselves. They help you when you work in the cold because your hands stay warm while you use your fingers. She also started a business, with her parents' help, which she still runs today. 翻译：有些孩子只会抱怨手套里进了雪，弄湿了手，而10岁的凯瑟琳·格雷戈瑞却决定为此做一些事情。她创造了第一副手腕套，因为她想让她的手腕保持暖和而又干燥。手腕套是没有手指的长手套，它们可以戴在你的连指手套和外套下面。它们还可以单独戴。当你在寒冷天气里工作时，它们就可以帮助你，因为你在使用自己手指的时候，你的手可以保暖。她还在父母的帮助下创办了一家企业，至今她仍在经营这家企业。

All these inventions have one thing in common — the kids were trying to solve problems in their lives. If they can do it, you can do it, too! 翻译：所有这些发明都有一个共同点——孩子们在试着解决他们生活中的问题。如果他们可以做到，那么你也可以做到！

Read the text again. Which do you prefer, reading the page or the screen? Why? 翻译：再读一遍课文。读纸页和读屏幕，你更喜欢哪一种？为什么？

If you are reading this now, it is because these words are printed on this page. Could this happen 2,000 years ago? Well, you could have read some words, but the words wouldn't be printed by a machine on paper. 翻译：如果你现在正在读这个，是因为这些单词就印刷在这一页纸上面。这在2000年前能发生吗？哦，你可能读过一些文字，但这些文字并不会被机器印刷在纸上面。

Modern printing began in China somewhere between 200 BC and 200 AD. A block of wood was carved so that the words or pictures stood out. Ink was put on the wood and then cloth was put on top of the wood. Later, during the Han Dynasty in 105 AD, papermaking was invented in China and printing was done mostly on paper after that. 翻译：现代印刷术是公元前200年到公元200年之间在中国的某个地方开始的。那时候人们是雕刻一块木头，以便突出文字或图画。人们把墨水滴在木头上，然后把布放在那块木头上面。后来，在公元105年汉朝时期，中国发明了造纸术，之后大多是印刷在纸上面。

Much later, a new method called 'movable type' was invented. It used small blocks made of metal with characters or letters. The blocks could be moved around easily to make a whole page of printed text and it was much faster than carving a block of wood. Methods to do this were invented in China in 1040. 翻译：很久以后，人们发明了一种叫做“活字印刷术”的新方法。它是利用了带有汉字或字母的金属制成的小木块。这些木块能够很容易地来回移动，可以印刷一整页的正文，而且它比雕刻一块木头要快得多。这种做法是中国在1040年发明的。

Later this method started to be used in Europe around 1439. Printing became much easier and faster and printing presses became popular everywhere. 翻译：后来，大约在1439年这种方法开始在欧洲使用。印刷术变得容易得多，也快得多，印刷机到处都变得流行起来。
