歷史散文之飛行一百年(1)
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)念這兩個來自俄亥俄州代頓市的夢想家。 易優(yōu)作文網(wǎng)，中小學(xué)學(xué)生學(xué)作文的好網(wǎng)站（http://www.zequeka.cn）。

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，他們在俄亥俄州的代頓開創(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，有著數(shù)不清的自行車公司，但只有一個在造輪子的同時(shí)造出了翅膀。當(dāng)萊特兄弟在1903年最終著眼于動力載人飛行器，他們成功地使世界變小了……
