居里夫人一生拥有过三克镭,她把第一克捐给了科学,公众则把第二克和第三克回赠给了她。这三克镭展示了一个科学家伟大的人格,和由此唤起的公众对科学的理解。 1920年5月的一个早晨,一位叫麦隆内夫人门美国记者,几经周折终于在巴黎实验室见到了镭的发现者。 Marie Curie has had three grams of radium in her life, she gave the first gram to science, and the public gave her the second and third gram. This three-gram radium shows the great personality of a scientist and the public’s understanding of science that has elicited it. One morning in May 1920, an American reporter named Mrs. McLean passed away and finally saw the discoverer of radium in the Paris laboratory.
