In the nineteenth century,the invention of the telegraph made it possible to send noises,signals,and even music over wires from one place to another.However,the human voice had never traveled this way.Many inventors tried to find a way to send a voice over wires,and in 1876 some of their efforts were crowned with success.Two American inventors,Alexander Graham Bell and Elisha Gray,succeeded at almost the same time.The United States Supreme Court finally had to decide which of the two was the first inventor of the telephone.The Court decided in Bell's favor.
Born in Edinburg,Scotland,Bell grew up in a family that was very interested in teaching people to speak.His grandfather had been an actor who left the theatre to teach elocution; his father was a teacher who helped deaf-mutes learn how to speak.
However,probably none of the later inventions gave Bell the same feeling of triumph as he had on the day when he spilled some acid from his batteries.It was after he had worked for months to find ways to send something more than metallic twangs over the wires.Thinking Watson,his helper,was in the next room,Bell called,"Mr.Watson,come here.I want you." Watson was not in the next room.He was down in his laboratory,next to the receiver.
在19世纪,电报的发明使发送声音,信号甚至音乐成为可能,他们通过电线从一个地方传到另一个地方.然而,人声永远不能以这种方式传播.很多发明家尝试找到一种通过电线发送人声的方法.在1876年有些人的努力终于得到了回报.两个美国发明家,亚历山大·格雷厄姆·贝尔和以利沙·格雷几乎在同一时间取得成功.美国最高法院最终不得不判定两人当中谁是电话的发明者.最后法院判定了贝尔.
贝尔出生于苏格兰爱丁堡,成长在一个喜欢教人说话的家庭中.他的爷爷曾经是一个剧院的男演员,后来离开剧院去教演讲术;他的爸爸是个教聋哑者说话的老师.
然而,可能是之后的发明没有一样能带给贝尔和他那天同样的胜利的感觉,那一天他从电池里撒出了一点酸液.那是他在工作几个月后,想找到办法能通过电线传播比金属弦震动声更多一些的声音.他想到他的协助者华生就在隔壁,贝尔叫道:“华生先生,到这里来,我需要你.”然而华生并不在隔壁,他在他的实验室里,接收端的旁边.
