How Did Edison Become a Great Inventor?
爱迪生缘何成为大发明家？
红人自画像
是谁为这个世界带来了光明？是上帝还是普罗米修斯？由于普罗米修斯，白天明亮了，但夜晚仍旧黑暗啊，于是我发明了灯泡。从此人类的万家灯火使星星和月亮都黯然失色了。
Who brought light to the world, God or Prometheus? With Prometheus, it is bright in the day, but how about the night? That’s why I invented the bulb. Since then, the twinkling lights have dimmed even the stars and the moon.

大发明家爱迪生的发明真是多如繁星，为什么我一个也发明不了呢？古古一直在想这个问题。看来他得亲自拜访一下爱迪生了。于是古古登上时空穿梭机，来到了爱迪生的实验室。
The great inventor Edison’s inventions were as many as the stars in the sky. “But why can’t I ever make a single invention?” Gugu kept thinking about it. It seemed that he needed to get some clues from the inventor in person. So Gugu took the time-space shuttle and arrived at Edison’s lab.
（G=Gugu E=Edison）
G: Hello, our great inventor!
E: Hi, Gugu! How did you get here?
G: By a time-space shuttle.
E: Oh? What kind of machine can traverse time and space?! Who invented it? Can I take a look at it?
G: No, problem, but first would you mind telling me what I need to do to become a great inventor as you?
E: Sure. To begin with, you need to study hard and persevere.
G: Come on, not this again!
E: As I’ve said, “ Genius is one percent inspiration.” I always look into something with my own hands and never believe others blindly.
G: Ok, I get it.
E: In additiom, an innovative spirit is indispensable to an inventor. Don’t always toe the line, or you’ll never find anything.
G: Anything else?
E: Last but not the least, keep a curious heart. Come on, I can’t wait any longer! Let’s go to have a look at your magical machine!
古古：您好。大发明家！
爱迪生：你好！古古，你是怎样来到我们时代的？
古古：我乘坐时空穿梭机而来。
爱迪生：哇！那是一种什么样的机器呀，居然可以穿越时空。是谁发明的，让我看一下好吗？
古古：可以呀。不过您先讲讲您是怎样成为大发明家的好吗？
爱迪生：可以，可以。首先，当个大发明家需要勤奋学习、刻苦专研。
古古：哦！又来了，没劲！
爱迪生：天才是99%的汗水和1%的灵感嘛。我经常亲自动手研究，从来不迷信别人的结论。
古古：恩，似乎有些道理。
爱迪生：还有，当大发明家要有创新精神，不要总是循规蹈矩。那样什么也发明不出来。
古古：还有吗？
爱迪生：最后，也是最重要的一点，就是永远保存一颗好奇心。哎呀，我等不及了，我们赶紧欣赏一下你乘坐的奇妙机器吧。
