第一篇：乔治·福斯特·皮博迪英文介绍

Intorduce of George Henry Peabody

Early life

He was born to George Henry Peabody and Elvira Peabody(née Canfield)as the first of four children.Both parents were native New Englanders of colonial ancestry.George Henry Peabody, who came from a line of merchants, bankers and professional men, had moved from Connecticut to Columbus, Georgia, where he ran a prosperous general store.After attending private school in Columbus, young Peabody spent a few months at Deer Hill Institute in Danbury, Connecticut.The Civil War, however, impoverished his family, and in 1866 they moved to Brooklyn, New York and young Peabody went to work in a wholesale dry goods firm, advancing rapidly.Business career

In the evenings Peabody read extensively at the library of the Brooklyn Y.M.C.A., which he later called his “alma mater”, and also took part in the activities of the Reformed Church in Brooklyn Heights, where he met and became good friends with young investment banker Spencer Trask.On May 2, 1881, Peabody became a partner in the new firm of Spencer Trask & Company.During the 1880s and 1890s this investment house took a leading part in financing electric lighting corporations, sugar beet and other industrial enterprises, and railroad construction in the western United States and Mexico.Peabody himself handled most of the firm's railroad investments, working in close association with William J.Palmer.He also became a director in numerous corporations.Peabody, his brother Charles Jones Peabody and Spencer Trask amassed a great portion of their wealth from the Edison Electric Company.Trask served as president of Edison Electric Illuminating, and when J.P.Morgan—protégé of New England businessman/philanthropist George Peabody—financier of Edison Electric, merged all into the General Electric Company in 1892, George Foster Peabody became a member of the GE board of directors.Social activism

Peabody retired from business in 1906 to pursue a life of public service.Long interested in social causes, he supported such progressive ideas as the single tax as advocated by Henry George in his book Progress and Poverty, free trade, women's suffrage and government ownership of railroads.He was also active in the anti-war movement.He was also interested in education, particularly in the South and also particularly for African-Americans.He served as director of the General Education Board, treasurer of the Southern Education Board and on the boards of trustees of the American Church Institute for Negroes, Hampton in Virginia, Tuskegee in Alabama, the University of Georgia, and the Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute.Political activities

From early in his life Peabody was interested in Democratic Party politics.In the early 1880s, he helped his close friend Edward M.Shepard organize the Young Men's Democratic Club of Brooklyn, took a part in the 1892 presidential campaign on behalf of Grover Cleveland, supported the Gold Democrats against William Jennings Bryan in 1896, then switched to more moderate

monetary reform as a member of the executive committee of the Indianapolis Monetary Convention in 1897.In 1904 and 1905 he served as treasurer of the Democratic National Committee.Although he declined to run for political office, and declined President Wilson's offer of a place on the Federal Trade Commission, Peabody was an unofficial counselor to many government officials.From 1914 to 1921 he served on the board of directors of the Federal Reserve Bank in New York.In June 1932 Franklin Delano Roosevelt, then Governor of New York, visited Peabody for advice and support in deciding to run for President of the United States.Philanthropic activities

Peabody served from 1884 to 1930 as a trustee of Hampton University, one of Virginia's historically black universities, where he established in the university library the Peabody Collection of rare materials on African-American history, one of the largest collections in the United States.In 1901 Peabody donated land for Peabody Park at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.[1]

Warm Springs, Georgia

After years of visiting the estate of his partner Spencer Trask in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., Peabody agreed to succeed him in 1910 as chairman of the state commission set up to purchase and conserve the famous spa there, and in 1923 he acquired the property at Warm Springs, Georgia near his boyhood home.In 1924 he invited his friend Franklin Delano Roosevelt(who had recently contracted a paralytic illness)to visit the 90 degree Fahrenheit springs there, which Roosevelt eventually purchased and turned into the Little White House and the Roosevelt Warm Springs Institute for Rehabilitation, expanding it from a limited rehab center into a full-service center.Honorary degrees

While his formal education was limited and he had no college degree, Peabody received honorary degrees from Harvard and Washington and Lee Universities in 1903, and the University of Georgia in 1906.This latter institution was the recipient of much of Peabody's philanthropy, including funds to build a fireproof building to house the university's library.He also donated land to help reorganize the State College of Agriculture, and founded the university's School of Forestry.George Foster Peabody Awards

Perhaps Peabody's best-known legacy is the George Foster Peabody Awards, presented annually since 1941 by the Henry W.Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication for excellence in radio, and, since 1948, television broadcasting, followed by World Wide Web content in the late 1990s.Personal life

A tall man, in later years he developed a mane of white hair, and wore a heavy mustache and pointed beard, becoming known for his dignified and courtly manner.He maintained a mansion in

Brooklyn, where he entertained lavishly.He also purchased a summer home known as Abenia at Lake George, where he spent most of each year.He was frequently a guest at Yaddo, the Saratoga estate of Spencer Trask and his wife, Katrina Trask, and from both estates he developed a wide circle of influence, including many persons from the literary world, church, business, and government, who came to enjoy his gracious hospitality.A lifelong bachelor, in 1920, eleven years after Trask's death in a railroad accident, Peabody married his widow Katrina, and they lived at Yaddo until her death in 1922.Thereafter Yaddo became a great retreat for artists.Peabody continued to live on the estate, and in 1926 he adopted a daughter, Mrs.Marjorie P.Waite, a young woman whom he had come to know in connection with his civic and humanitarian activities and who aided him in them.Peabody died in 1938 at his home in Warm Springs, Georgia.

第五篇：博迪眨眼写作

博迪眨眼写作

博迪是一名法国记者。他在一次心脏病发作后四肢瘫痪，只有左眼可以活动。但他决心把打好腹稿的作品《潜水衣与蝴蝶》写出来，于是他要求笔录员门迪宝协助他，每天花6小时笔录他的著述。而他们之间的沟通只能靠左眼的眨动来完成。每次，门迪宝按顺序读出法语常用字母，博迪每眨眼一次表示字母正确，眨两次表示错误，然后拼成词语。这种常人难以想象的“写作”终于在数月后奇迹般地完成了。这本150页的著作已被出版，受到人们的欢迎。

分析：“博迪眨眼写作”的事迹让我们想到史蒂芬·霍金，身体上的极度残缺却丝毫不能阻止他们在文学及科学研究上的昂首阔步。

史蒂芬．霍金的事迹,介绍

霍金1942年出生于英国牛津，出生当天正好是伽利略逝世300年忌日，父亲法兰克是毕业于牛津大学的热带病专家，母亲伊莎贝尔1930年代于牛津研究哲学、政治和经济

史蒂芬·威廉·霍金的生平是非常富有传奇性的，在科学成就上，他是有史以来最杰出的科学家之一，他的贡献是在他20年之久被卢伽雷氏症禁锢在轮椅上的情况下做出的，这是真正的空前绝后。他的贡献对于人类的观念有深远的影响，所以媒介早已有许多关于他如何与全身瘫痪作搏斗的描述。所以说，上帝对每个人都是公平的。他有身体上的缺陷，可头脑聪明的很！尽管如此，译者（吴忠超）之一于1979年第一回见到他时的情景至今还历历在目。那是第一次参加剑桥霍金广义相对论小组的讨论班时，身后门一打开，脑后忽然响起一种非常微弱的电器的声音，回头一看，只见一个骨瘦如柴的人斜躺在电动轮椅上，他自己驱动着电开关。译者尽量保持礼貌而不显出过分吃惊，但是他对首次见到他的人对其残疾程度的吃惊早已习惯。他要用很大努力才能举起头来。在失声之前，只能用非常微弱的变形的语言交谈，这种语言只有在陪他工作、生活几个月后才能通晓。他不能写字，看书必须依赖于一种翻书页的机器，读文献时必须让人将每一页摊平在一张大办公桌上，然后他驱动轮椅如蚕吃桑叶般地逐页阅读。人们不得不对人类中居然有以这般坚强意志追求终极真理的灵魂从内心产生深深的敬意。

霍金的魅力不仅在于他是一个充满传奇色彩的物理天才，也因为他是一个令人折服的生活强者。他不断求索的科学精神和勇敢顽强的人格力量深深地吸引了每一个知道他的人。患有肌肉萎缩性侧索硬化症的他，几乎全身瘫痪，不能发音，但1988年仍出版《时间简史》，至今已出售逾2500万册，成为全球最畅销的科普著作之一。

他被世人誉为“在世的最伟大的科学家”“另一个爱因斯坦”“不折不扣的生活强者”“敢于向命运挑战的人”“宇宙之王”。

贝多芬的事迹

贝多芬生活道路非常坎坷，晚年失聪；他从1796年26岁时开始便已感到听觉日渐衰弱，但直到1801年，当他确信自己的耳疾无法医治时，才把这件事情告诉给他的朋友。但是，他对艺术的爱和对生活的爱战胜了他个人的苦痛和绝望--苦难变成了他的创作力量的源泉。在这样一个精神危机发展到顶峰的时候，贝多芬以坚强的意志克服了重重困难他开始创作他的乐观主义的第三“英雄”交响曲。“英雄”交响曲标志着贝多芬的精神的转机，同时也标志着他创作的“英雄年代”的开始。

贝多芬在维也纳的后一阶段，由于欧洲正经历着严重的政治反动时期，即梅特涅的反动统治特别的猖獗的时期，他的创作也暂时呈现颓势（1813－1817）。从1818年起，在贝多芬一生的最后十年当中（1818一1827），他在耳朵全聋、健康情况恶化和生活贫困，精神上受到折磨的情况下，仍以巨人般的毅力创作了《第九“合唱”交响曲》，总结了他光辉的、史诗般的一生并展现了人类的美好愿望。
