Thomas Edison and Benjamin Franklin
Thomas Edison lived from 1847 to 1931; he is most famous for inventing the light bulb. Benjamin Franklin lived from 1706 to 1790, and he is credited with discovering electricity.
Both men were inventors, and both were born in the United States. As children, both Franklin and Edison had limited schooling.
Both inventors are said to have self-taught themselves mostly through their love of reading.
Franklin and Edison were both interested in electricity, and I think they would have had a lot to talk about if they had ever met face-to-face.
They were different too though. They lived in very different times. While Benjamin Franklin discovered electricity. Edison‘s inventions and discoveries all required electrical currents: light bulbs, microphones, phonographs, fluoroscopes, etc.
我好想成为科学家,因为如果我是一名科学家,我就可以创造出许多有用的东西。
如果我是科学家,我会研制出一种手枪,这种手枪和我们平常见到的不一样,它可以自动收集空气转换成子弹,还可以自动定位瞄准目标,警察叔叔利用这把手枪就可以快速抓到犯罪分子,更好维护社会安全。
如果我是科学家,我会制造出一种可以折叠起来的房子,它可以放进背包,甚至可以装进口袋,这样就可以帮助那些灾后没有房子住的儿童,也可以让我们出外旅游变得方便,走到哪里就可以带到哪里。
如果我是科学家我就会制造出一种可以放出冷、热两用的机器,在炎热的夏天可以把热气吸进机器里,这样夏天就不觉得炎热,在寒冷的冬天会把冷气收集到机器里,冬天不会觉得寒冷。利用这种机器,既改善了我们的生活环境,又能节约能源。
如果我是科学家,我会发明一种可以在天上飞、地上跑、水里游的汽车,这样我们就不需要这么多种交通工具,减少停放交通工具的麻烦,节约土地。
