One hundred years ago, the seagulls, three guys from the Coast Guard's Kill Devil Hills, N.C., Lifesaving Station and a couple of locals witnessed Wilbur and Orville Wright fly a powered machine through the air for the first time.
一百年前的今天：一些海鷗；北卡羅來納州殺魔山海岸警衛(wèi)隊(duì)的三個(gè)隊(duì)員；救生站以及一些本地人，見證了威爾帕·萊特(Wilbur Wright)和奧維爾·萊特(Orville Wright)兄弟的第一次機(jī)動(dòng)飛機(jī)飛行。
The first successful sustained powered flights in a heavier-than-air machine were made here by Wilbur and Orville Wright on December 17, 1903. A 60-foot granite monument dedicated in 1932, is perched atop 90-foot tall Kill Devil Hill commemorating the achievement of these two visionaries from Dayton, Ohio.
1903年12月17日，萊特兄弟第一次用比空氣重的飛行器進(jìn)行了有動(dòng)力的持續(xù)飛行。1932年，90英尺高的殺魔山頂立起了一座60英尺高的花崗巖紀(jì)念碑，用以紀(jì)念這兩個(gè)來自俄亥俄州代頓市的夢(mèng)想家。
Wilbur and Orville Wright were two brothers from the heartland of America with a vision as sweeping as the sky and a practicality[務(wù)實(shí)] as down-to-earth[實(shí)際的] as the Wright Cycle Co., the bicycle business they founded in Dayton, Ohio, in 1892. But while there were countless bicycle shops in turn-of-the-century[世紀(jì)之交] America, in only one were wings[翼] being built as well as wheels. When the Wright brothers finally realized their vision of powered human flight in 1903, they made the world a forever smaller place...
萊特兄弟來自于美國(guó)中部。他們有著天空般廣闊的眼界，也有著十分務(wù)實(shí)的作風(fēng)。1892年，他們?cè)诙砗ザ碇莸拇D開創(chuàng)了自己的自行車企業(yè)：萊特自行車公司。雖然在當(dāng)時(shí)世紀(jì)之交的美國(guó)，有著數(shù)不清的自行車公司，但只有一個(gè)在造輪子的同時(shí)造出了翅膀。當(dāng)萊特兄弟在1903年最終著眼于動(dòng)力載人飛行器，他們成功地使世界變小了……
