Louis Pasteur
路易斯·巴斯德
Louis Pasteur was born in Dole, France on December 27, 1822.
路易斯·巴斯德于1822年12月27日出生于法國多爾。
His family was poor, and during his early education ,Pasteur was an ordinary student who enjoyed art and singing.
他家境貧寒，在他早期的教育中，巴斯德是一個喜歡藝術和唱歌的普通學生。
However, when Pasteur was exposed to science as a teenager, he knew he had found his career.
然而，在巴斯德十幾歲時接觸科學後，他知道自己找到了自己的事業。
In 1838, Pasteur went to college to become a science teacher. He then became a chemistry professor at the University of Strasbourg.
1838年，巴斯德成為了一名大學科學教師，後來成為了斯特拉斯堡大學的化學教授。
He got married in 1849 and had five children. However, three died young from typhoid fever（傷寒症）. It was the deaths of his children that drove Pasteur to investigate the infectious（傳染的） disease in order to find a cure.
1849年，他結了婚，有了五個孩子。然而，其中三個孩子小時候就死于傷寒。正是孩子的離世驅使巴斯德去研究這種傳染病，以找到治療方法。
During Pasteur's time, people believed that bacteria（細菌） appeared due to "spontaneous generation（自然發生）." They thought that the bacteria just appeared out of nowhere.
在巴斯德生活的時期，人們認為細菌的出現是由于“自發産生”，他們認為細菌隻是憑空出現的。
Pasteur carried out experiments to see if this was true. Through his experiments, he proved that germs were living things（生物） that came from other living things. They didn't just spontaneously（自發地） appear.
巴斯德做了實驗來驗證這是否正确。通過實驗，他證明了細菌是來自其他生物的一種生物，它們并不是自發産生的。
This was a major discovery in the study of biology and earned Pasteur the title of Father of Germ Theory.
這是生物學研究中的一項重大發現，是以，巴斯德獲得了“細菌理論之父”的稱号。
As Pasteur learned more about bacteria, he began to think they may be the cause of diseases in humans.
随着巴斯德對細菌了解的越來越多，他開始認為細菌可能是引發人類疾病的起因。
When the French silk market was threatened by a disease to silkworms（蠶）, Pasteur decided to investigate. He discovered that this disease was caused by germs.
當法國絲綢市場受到蠶蟲疾病的威脅時，巴斯德決定進行調查。他發現這種疾病是由細菌引起的。
By killing them from the silkworm farms, he was able to cease the disease and save the French silk business.
他通過在養蠶場殺死細菌，阻止了病害的擴散，挽救了法國絲綢業。
Today Louis Pasteur is known as one of the most important scientists in history. His discoveries led to an understanding of bacteria and diseases that has helped save millions of lives.
今天，路易斯·巴斯德被認為是曆史上最重要的科學家之一。他的發現推進了對細菌和疾病的了解，拯救了數百萬人的生命。
