When our ears are cold, we can wear earmuffs, but that wasn't true for Chester Greenwood in 1873. 翻译：耳朵冷的时候，我们可以戴上耳罩，但在1873年，切斯特·格林伍德却不是这样。

On a winter afternoon, the 15-year old boy went ice skating, and his ears became cold. He tried to cover them with his scarf, but it was not very comfortable. Chester had to stop skating. 'I must solve this problem,' he thought. 翻译：在一个冬日的午后，这个15岁的男孩去滑冰，他的耳朵逐渐发冷。他试图用围巾捂住耳朵，但并不舒服。切斯特不得不停止滑冰。他想：“我一定要解决这个问题。”

On his way home, Chester came across some farm wires and had an idea. He bent a piece of wire to match the shape of his head. Next, he made two ear-shaped circles out of the wire. Then, he asked his grandmother to add fur to each circle. That's how the first pair of earmuffs was born. His friends liked the invention. What a clever idea! 翻译：在回家的路上，切斯特看到了一些农用电线，随即有了一个主意。他把一根铁丝弯成和他的头部形状一致的样子。接着，他用铁丝做了两个耳朵形状的圆圈。然后，他让奶奶在每个圆圈上加上毛皮。就这样，第一副耳罩诞生了。他的朋友们都很喜欢这个发明。这主意多好啊！

Chester went on to improve the design. He used a steel band to connect the two circles. He also lined soft black cloth on the inside of the circles for comfort. 翻译：切斯特继续改进设计。他用钢带将两个圆圈连接起来。为了佩戴舒适，他还在圆圈内侧衬上了柔软的黑布。

Chester Greenwood was an American inventor. He is best known for creating the earmuffs in 1873. He came up with the idea when he was just 15 years old. He made this invention to keep his ears warm. Like every other teen, Greenwood looked forward to winter days and skating with friends and family. Greenwood loved this sport, but he couldn't stay out on the ice for very long. The scarf didn't work for him, so he created the very first pair of earmuffs! Now we can all stay warm in the cold thanks to his clever invention. 翻译：切斯特·格林伍德是一位美国发明家。他最著名的发明是在1873年发明的耳罩。他提出这个想法时年仅15岁。他发明耳罩是为了给耳朵保暖。和其他青少年一样，格林伍德期待着在冬日里与朋友和家人一起滑冰。格林伍德喜欢这项运动，但他不能在冰上待很长时间。围巾对他不起作用，于是他发明了第一副耳罩！多亏了他的巧妙发明，现在我们都能在寒冷中保持温暖了。
