英语翻译
People had known about steam power for hundreds of years .But they did not know how to apply it to machines .About 300years ago ,some engineers discovered that they could use steam power to force water out of deep mines .This helped miners dig deeper than ever .But little more was done with steam power until one man ,James Watt ,discovered how to make steam turn a wheel.
When he was a boy ,James Watt’s parents had scolded (责骂) him for playing with mechanical things .There were few advanced ( 先进的) machines then .And almost nobody could make a living by fixing them .So Watt’s parents thought that playing around with machines was a waste of time .But someone asked Watt to repair a steam coal-mine pump .Watt fixed the pump and he began to build models of other pumps .
Once Watt had built his first engine ,steam power was used to do many things.Machines were built that could weave (编织),grind (磨)flour ,drive a boat or a train,and even make other machines.
Nearly anything that needed pushing or turning could be powered by steam .Within 50 years of Watt’s invention ,steam engines were producing and transporting things in ways that were impossible by hand ,wind or water power

蒸汽已为人知数百年了.但人们如何运用到机械仍不为人们所知.约300年前,一些工程师发明用蒸汽在深矿里挤水.这帮助了矿工一改以往,挖掘更深层的地方.蒸汽能量的作用一直微不足道,直到James Watt的出现 ,发现如何用蒸汽动力驱动轮子转动.
当他还是个小孩的时候,James watt的父母责怪他玩机械的玩意.这里鲜有先进的机器.并且几乎没人可以依靠维修它们来维持生活.因此Watt的父母认为玩耍这些机器仅仅是浪费时间.但仍有一些人会叫Watt 去维修蒸汽煤矿泵.Watt在维修这些泵时,慢慢开始建造其他模式的泵.
当Watt的第一部引擎刚建造出来,蒸汽动力便被用作许多的用途.用来编织物品,磨粉,带动船或火车,甚至用它来创造出其他机器.几乎所有需要挤压或者旋转加工的东西都能用蒸汽完成.在Watt发明的50个年头里面,生产和运输蒸汽引擎,用于手工,风能和水能都不能完成的方面
期待高手的出现吧 我翻得不好
