新鮮熱辣的哦!3月3日是電話發明者貝爾的生日,所以Google又有特別的圖案首頁.

=======================================================
亞歷山大•格拉漢姆•貝爾（Alexander Graham Bell，1847年3月3日－1922年8月2日）是一位美國發明家和企業家。他獲得了世界上第一台可用的電話機的專利權（發明者為義大利人安東尼奧•梅烏奇），創建了貝爾電話公司。

1847年3月3日亞歷山大•格拉漢姆•貝爾出生於蘇格蘭愛丁堡。

1870年貝爾移民到加拿大，一年後到美國。1882年他加入美國國籍。

貝爾本人是一個聲學生理學家和聾啞人語的教師。在他之前，德國人菲力浦•雷斯曾發明過一台電話機，但其傳聲效果極壞，實際上無法被使用。1876年3月10日貝爾與他的同事試驗了世界上第一台可用的電話機。

此外貝爾還發明了一台測量聽力的儀器，一台可用來發現人體內金屬的儀器以及其他一些發明創造。

貝爾擁有電話的發明專利，但是有人也指出，從義大利移民到美國的安東尼奧•梅烏奇（Antonio Meucci）才是電話的發明者。美國國會2002年6月15日269號決議確認安東尼奧•梅烏奇為電話的發明人。

除了發明電話，亞歷山大•格拉漢姆•貝爾還發明了載人的巨型風箏，為加拿大海軍發明了用於在二戰時與德國U-Boat抗衡的水翼船，改良了留聲機（gramophone）。

1922年8月2日亞歷山大•格拉漢姆•貝爾逝世于加拿大巴德克。

英文版不同內容的生平:
Alexander Graham Bell (3 March 1847 - 2 August 1922) was an eminent scientist, inventor and innovator. Most often associated with the invention of the telephone, Bell was also called ”the father of the deaf”.[1] His father, grandfather and brother had all been associated with work on elocution and speech, and both his mother and wife were deaf, profoundly influencing Bell’s life’s work.[2] His research on hearing and speech further led him to experiment with hearing devices that eventually culminated in Bell being awarded the first U.S. patent for the invention of the telephone in 1876.[3]

Many other inventions marked Bell’s later life including groundbreaking work in hydrofoils and aeronautics. In 1888, Alexander Graham Bell was one of the founding members of the National Geographic Society.[4] In reflection, Bell considered his most famous invention an intrusion on his real work as a scientist and refused to have a telephone in his study.[5] Upon Bell’s death, all telephones throughout the United States ”stilled their ringing for a silent minute in tribute to the man whose yearning to communicate made them possible.”[6]
