Elias Howe
sewing-machine
Early one morning, more than 100 years ago, an American inventor called Elias Howe finally fell asleep. He had been working all night on the design of a sewing-machine but he had run into a very difficult problem, it seemed impossible to get the thread to run smoothly around the needle.
Despite his exhaustion, Howe slept badly. He tossed and turned. Then he had a nightmare. He dreamt that he had been captured by a tribe of terrible savages whose king threatened to kill and eat him unless he could build a perfect sewing-machine. When he tried to do so, Howe ran into the same problem as before. The thread kept getting caught around the needle. The king flew into a rage and ordered his soldiers to kill Howe.
100多年前的清早,美国发明家 Elias Howe进入了梦乡。为了设计缝纫机他熬了一整夜,但是他遇到了一个难题:缝纫机的线一直不能稳固在针的周围。
尽管他累得精疲力尽,Howe睡得并不是很香。他一上来辗转反侧,后来他做了一个噩梦。他梦到野蛮部落的土著民抓住了他,如果他不设计出一个完美的缝纫机,国王就会下令杀死他并且吃了他。Howe遇到之前一样的情况。线头老是和针缠绕在一起。国王很生气就下令杀死了Howe。
