In order to help cover the costs of her university training, she spent three years in a village teaching the children of a sugar factory owner. For another two years Marie went on working as a private teacher. Shortly before she turned 24, Marie calculated she had saved up just enough money for university studies in Paris. In autumn 1891 a young woman traveled economy-class all the way to Paris. Marie was not as well prepared as her fellow students. Nevertheless, through hard work she completed masters degree in physics and math in only three years. A few years later, Marie began looking for a research topic that would earn her a doctorate in science. No woman in the world had yet completed that degree. In 1903 Marie became the first woman to win a Nobel Prize and in 1911 the first person to win a second Nobel prize.翻译几年前我父母把我带到美国时，那里的一切对我来说都十分陌生。进入一所美国中学后不久，我就感到极其孤独寂寞，因为我英语能力（competence）的欠缺造成了我与新同学之间的隔阂。父母亲弄清楚我为什么情绪那么低落后，他们鼓励我提高自己的英语水平，鼓励我通过广泛阅读丰富自己的词汇。此后我花了许多时间阅读英语书籍与杂志。好的推理作品总会使我着迷，但最吸引我的是关于杰出的科学家的故事。我记得阿伯特爱因斯坦给我留下了很深的印象，他的思想深刻地改变了人类关于空间、时间、物质和能量的基本概念。亚里士多德（Aristotle）写了四百本左右关于各种学科的著作，这真使我大为惊异。斯蒂芬霍金身体伤残而且不能说话，但他对科学却作出了杰出贡献。这真是奇迹啊！伟大的科学家的光辉业绩促使我下决心把一生献给科学事业。When my parents took me to America several years ago, everything there felt very alien to me. Soon after I attended an American high school, I felt desperately lonely because my lack of competence in English formed a barrier separating my new schoolmates and myself. When my parents found out why I was in such low spirits, they encouraged me to improve myself in English and enrich my vocabulary by reading extensively. From then on I spent many hours reading English books and magazines. I was always intrigued by good mysteries, but what fascinated me most was stories of outstanding scientists. I remember I was greatly impressed by Albert Einstein whose ideas profoundly changed mankinds basic concepts of space, time, matter and energy. And I found it amazing that Aristotle had written about 400 books on a variety of subjects. Stephen H
