Hey Roy, the subject for my school project is "Small inventions that changed the world." Can you help me think of an invention?
嗨，羅伊，我的學校項目主題是《改變世界的小發明》。你能幫我想個發明么？
My pleasure! Let me think ... hmm ... I know! The zipper!
我很樂意！讓我想想...嗯...我知道啦！拉鏈！
The zipper? Is it really such a great invention?
拉鏈？這真的是個偉大發明么？
Think about how often it's used in our daily lives. You can see zippers on dresses, trousers, shoes, bags ... almost everywhere!
你想想在日常生活中我們經常用到拉鏈。裙子、褲子、鞋子、包包...它們幾乎無處不在！
Well, you do seem to have a point ...
確實有道理...
Of course! I thought about it because I saw a website last week. The pioneers of different inventions were listed there. For example, it mentioned that the zipper was invented by Whitcomb Judson in 1893. But at that time, it wasn't used widely.
當然！我想到拉鏈是因為上周我在一個網站上看到了。網站上列出了不同發明的發明人。例如，上邊提到拉鏈是威特康·朱迪森在1893年發明的。但當時還沒有被廣泛使用。
Really? So when did it become popular?
真的么？那什么時候拉鏈才開始流行的呢？
Around 1917.
大概在1917年。
