篇1： 路易斯·布莱叶使盲人读写成为可能 Louis Braille 1809-1852, a French blind teacher, studied different ways of making dots and dashes on paper At last he reached a system in which he used six holes in different positions. Within this space he cOllld make sixty three different binations. Each bination stands for a letter or a short word. Soon Louis wrote a book using the Braille system. 路易斯·布莱叶， 1809——1852，是一位法国盲文老师，研究了各种将圆点和符号写到纸上的方法。
最后，他发明了一个系统，这个系统使用的方法是将六个洞摆放在不同的位直。
根据这种组合方式，他能够组合出 63种不同的组合。
每种组合代表一种字母或者一个简短的单词。
很快路易斯使用布菜叶系统写了一本书。
At first people did not believe that the system of Louis Braille was possible or practical. One day a girl who had been blind since she was born played the piano beautifully at a concert. Everybody was pleased. Then the girl got up and said that the people should thank Louis Braille, who had made it possible for her to learn music and to play the plano. 一开始人们不相信路易斯·布菜叶的系统有可能实现或者有什么实际用处。
有一天，一个生来就是盲人的女孩在一场音乐会中弹奏了一支很优美的曲子。
每个人都很愉悦。
随后，这个女孩站了起来，对人们说大家应该感谢路易斯·布莱叶，因为是他使这个女孩学习音乐并且弹奏钢琴成为了可能。
Some of Louis'
friends went to his home to see him. He was sick in bed. They told him what had happened Louis began to cry. He said, "
This is the third time in my life that I have cried. First, when I became blind. Second, when I heard '
night writing'
, and now because I know that my life has not been a failure."
路易斯的一些朋友去他家里探望他。
当时，他正卧病在床。
他们告诉他发生了什么事情。
Louis开始哭泣起来，他说：“这是我人生中第三次哭泣。
第一次是当我眼瞎的时候;
第二次，是在我听说了‘夜书’时;
现在这一次我终于知道我的人生不是一个失败。
” A few days later Louis died. He was only 43 years old. 几天后，路易斯去世了，当时他只有43岁。
篇2：拉兹洛J.拜罗和雷洛——实用圆珠笔的发明者 The ballpoint pen is a very popular thing for writing. But few people know how and when it came into being. 圆珠笔是一个很流行的书写工具。
但是很少有人知道它是怎样以及何时被发明的。
Early in 1888, John Lawd made a pen with which to write on paper. He called it a ballpoint pen because it was a pen with a very *** all ball housed in the socket at the tip. But this ballpoint pen leaked and the ball couldn'
t turn freely in the socket. Thus it was almost of no use. 在1888年早期，约翰·洛特制作了一支用于在纸上进行书写的笔。
他称它为圆珠笔，因为在笔的夫将穴孔处有一个小小的球。
但是这支圆珠笔漏油而且小球不能在穴孔中自由翻转。
因此这支笔几乎毫无用处。
Nearly half a century passed, Laszlo J.Biro, a Hungarian living in Argentina made a ballpoint pen. Biro studied John'
s ballpoint pens carefully and did a lot of experiments to improve them. At last he succeeded in producing the first workable ball pen, which had a much thinner socket and a freely turning ball. 将近半个世纪过去后，一位住在阿根廷的匈牙利人拉兹洛j拜罗制造了一支圆珠笔。
拜罗仔细研究了约翰的圆珠笔，做了很多实验来对它们进行提高。
最后，他成功地生产了第一支可以使用的圆珠笔，这支圆珠笔有一个更为细小的穴孔，一个自由转动的球。
However, the ballpoint pens we use now were, in fact, improved by Reynold in 1945. They were greatly improved on the balls and ink. Thus ballpoint pens became fitter for us. People like to use ballpoint pens because they don'
t leak at all;
they can hold enough ink to last a long time and the quick-drying ink can'
t be easily affected by the changes of climate. 然而，实际上，我们目前使用的圆珠笔是经雷诺在1945年改进后的。
它们在顶端的小球和墨水上都有了极大的改进。
这样圆珠笔对我们来说更加适合使用。
人们喜欢使用圆珠笔是因为它们一点儿都不会泄露;
它们可以装足够多的墨水来维持很长一段时间，而且这种快干的墨水不会由于气候变化而轻易发生改变。
篇3： 莱特兄弟——飞机发明家 The Wright brothers, namely, Orville Wright 1871—1948 and Wilbur Wright 1867—1912 invented the first safe, successful airplane. But their first flight, on December 17, 1903, was not great news. Nothing appeared in the newspaper on that day. A few days later, short items began to appear in newspapers across the country, but no one seemed very interested or impressed. 莱特兄弟名为奥维尔·莱特1871一1948和威尔伯·莱特1867-1912成功友明了第一架安全可靠的飞机。
但是他们在1903年12 月17日的首次飞行并不是那么理想。
在那天的报纸上没有出现与此有关的任何新闻。
几天后，流通全国的报纸上开始出现一些简单的报道，但是没有任何一个看起来是那么有趣或者能够令人印象深刻。
Orville Wright took the "
Flyer I"
up in the air and flew it for 12 seconds. Wilbur Wright took turns with his brother flying their airplane. The next two flights lasted twice as long as the first one. On the fourth flight that day, the airplane stayed in the air for 59 seconds. After it landed, a sudden gust of wind tipped the plane over. "
Flyer I"
was badly damaged. The first successful airplane was never flown again. 奥维尔·某特驾驶“飞行器1号”在高空中飞行了12秒。
威尔伯·莱特和他弟弟轮流驾驶飞机。
接下来的两次飞行持续的时间大概是第一次飞行的两倍。
那天的第四次飞行，飞机在空中停留了59秒。
在它着陆后，一阵突如其来的风吹翻了飞机。
“飞行器1号”严重受损。
这架第一个成功飞行的飞机从此再也没有飞起来过。
Louis Bleriot flew across the English Channel in 1909 He flew from France to England in a Bleriot XI monoplane which had only one set of wings. His flight was historic. He proved that people from different countries could now visit each other fairly early. 路易斯·布雷里奥在1909年飞越了英吉利海峡。
他乘坐一架布雷里奥五号羊翼机从法国飞往英国。
他的飞行具有历史性的意义。
他证明了在不同国家的人们可以彼此更早一些见面。
The first woman pilot was Baroness de la Roche. She made her flight in 1908. Two years later, she received a pilot'
s license. 第一位女飞行员是贝罗尼丝·德拉罗什。
她在1908年进行了第一次飞行。
两年后，她拿到了飞行员资格证。

名人励志的简短英语故事篇2：海伦·
凯勒 She fought for women'
s right, crusaded for the causes of workers, promoted equality for minorities, and championed the underprivileged and the oppressed. She also earned several prestigious awards from countries as diverse as Japan, Brazil, and Lebanon. An impressive list of achievements for any human, all this was accomplished by a woman who was blind and deaf. 她为女权而战、投身工人事业、促进弱势团体平等权利、支持受苦和受压迫的人。
她还荣获日本、巴西、黎巴嫩等国颁发的几项荣誉大奖。
对任何人来说，这都是让人印象深刻的成就，然而这是由一位双眼失明双耳失聪的女人取得的。
Helen Keller was born a healthy child in 1880 in Alabama. Stricken by illness at the tender age of nineteen months, Helen lost her ability to see, hear, and speak. Growing up unable to comprehend the world around her, Helen became wild and unruly, until her parents found help. 1880年，海伦·
凯勒在美国的阿拉巴马州出生时是个健康的孩子。
可在她19个月大时，她得了一场大病，海伦从此失去了视觉、听觉和说话的能力。
在成长的过程中，她无法了解周围的一切，变得狂躁而难以管教，最后她的父母只好求助于他人。
They contacted Dr. Alexander Graham Bell, the famous inventor and teacher of the deaf, who introduced them to an institute for the blind in Boston, Massachusetts. A student there, Annie Sullivan, was asked to help. Annie would later become known as the "
Miracle Worker."
他们和著名的发明家、聋哑教师亚力山大·
贝尔博士取得联系之后，被介绍到一家位于马萨诸塞州波士顿的盲人机构。
该机构的学生安妮·
苏利文应邀提供帮助。
她就是后来那位著名的“奇迹创造者”。
Annie Sullivan taught Helen how to connect objects with letters by spelling words into Helen'
s hands. Helen'
s breakthrough came when Annie held her hand under a water pump while spelling "
water"
into her other hand repeatedly. Helen suddenly understood, and from then on progressed by leaps and bounds. 苏利文在海伦手上拼字，借此教她如何将物体和字母联系在一起。
有一次安妮把海伦的手放在水泵出水口下，并且在她的另一支手上重复拼写water的时候，海伦突然明白了，她的学习有了重大突破。
从此她进步神速。
Having mastered both the manual and Braille alphabets, Helen became proficient in reading and writing, and began learning how to speak in 1890. Helen entered Radcliffe College and, assisted by Annie Sullivan, graduated cum laude in 1904. She was the first blind-deaf person ever to graduate from college. 海伦在学会了手指拼字法和布莱耶盲人点字法后，她的阅读和书写能力变得熟练起来;
1890年，她开始学习说话。
后来海伦在苏利文的帮助下，进入拉德克利夫(Radchffe)学院就读，1904年以优异的成绩 毕业 ，她成为第一位大学毕业的盲哑人。
Helen Keller spent the rest of her life as a writer, lecturer, and advocate for the deaf and blind and other disadvantaged groups. She traveled to numerous countries on behalf of the disabled, and founded the Helen Keller Endowment Fund for the American Foundation for the Blind in 1930. She died on June 1, 1968, an outstanding example of the unconquerable human spirit. 海伦·
凯勒的余生都致力于写作和演讲，声援盲人、聋人和其他，弱势群体。

凯勒于1968年6月1日与世长辞，她可以说是人类不屈不挠精神的最佳典范。
名人励志的简短英语故事篇3：凯瑟琳·
格拉罕 It could safely be said of Katherine Graham that few women had a greater infulence on 20th-centllry American history. When she died at the age of 84, peop1e from all walks of life were swift and generous in their eulogies. 我们可以有把握地说，没有几个妇女像凯瑟琳·
格拉罕对20世纪美国历史有这么大的影响。
她84岁去世时，各界人士纷纷赶往悼念，表示敬意。
Katherine Meyer was born in 1917 to a wealthy and fami1y. Her father was a multimillionaire who gave up business and government service to buy the Washington Post in 1933. Katherine shared his love of journalism, and worked on the paper'
s editing desk for a few years before getting married. 凯瑟琳·
迈耶 1917年出生在一个富裕的特权家庭。
她的父亲是一位大富豪，他放弃了工作和政府部门的职位，在1933年买下了境况不佳的《华盛顿邮报》。
凯瑟琳承袭了父亲对新闻的热爱，婚前在这家报社的编辑部工作了数年。
Her husband, Phil Graham, was a bright young lawyer who took over at the Post in 1945. But Phil suffered from manic depression later, which gradually got worse, culminating in his suicide when Katherine was 46. Suddenly, she found herself in control of the Post. 她的丈夫菲尔·
格拉罕曾是一位很出色的年轻律师，他1945年接管了华盛顿邮报。
但后来他被躁狂抑郁症所折磨，病情日渐恶化，最后在凯瑟琳46岁时他自杀身亡。
突然间，她感到管理邮报的责任落在了自己身上。
Graham took over the day-to-day running of the paper Skeptics who had doubted her ability to make a success of it were dumbfounded as her enthusiasm and tenacity proved them wrong. 格拉罕接管了邮报每日的运作。
当她，以热忱和执着证明了那些曾怀疑她能力不足的人是错误的时候，他们都哑口无言。
Graham was never afraid of making a courageous decision. Against the advice of the Post'
s lawyers, she sided with her editors and published the Pentagon Papers. The papers were top secret documents about the United States'
involvement in the Vietnam War. She later remained steadfast in the face of government pressure not to pursue the Watergate scandal that led to the resignation of President Richard Nixon. 格拉罕从来不怕果断地作决定。
她不听从邮报律师们的劝告，而支持她手下的编辑们，发表了《五角大楼文件》，这些文件是有关美国的最高机密文件。
即使面临政府施加的压力，要她不要再追究后来迫使尼克松总统下台的水门事件，她始终立场坚定。
Graham handed over the control of the Post to her son in 1991, when she was 74 years old. By that time, she was often being described as the most powerful woman in America. Whether or not that was true, few would disagree with the assessment of one of her many admirers, that without her, Washington "
would have been a much less civilized place."
1991年，葛拉罕74岁时，将掌管邮报的权力移交给了她的儿子。
那时，她常被形容为美国最有影响的女人。
无论这种说法是否正确，相信多数人都会认同她众多仰慕者之一给予的评价：没有她，华盛顿“就会是远不如现在文明的地方”。
