Did Ben Franklin really discover electricity with a kite?
本.富蘭克林靠一只風箏發現了電？
That's a good one.
這是個好問題。
Everybody has heard the famous story of how pioneering experimenter–and part-time founding father–Ben Franklin tied a key to a kite string and flew the kite in a thunderstorm.
大家都聽過這個著名故事：開創性實驗者兼開國之父——本.富蘭克林將一串鑰匙系在風箏線上，在電閃雷鳴的惡劣天氣下放風箏。
The kite was hit by lightning, and zap! Franklin had discovered electricity.
風箏被閃電擊中并燒毀，于是富蘭克林發現了電。
Fried Franklin
燒焦的富蘭克林
Well, it makes a better story than it does an experiment.
這只是一則故事而非實驗。
The danger is that lightning is not something you want to play with, and you certainly don’t want to attract it to yourself!
該實驗之所以危險是因為：閃電不是人類隨意把玩的東西，當然你也不想引“電”上身吧。
Were this story to be true, I’m afraid, the result would have been fried Franklin.
如果這個故事是真的，恐怕富蘭克林早已被燒焦了。
