[02:10.19]When she was young,she became interested in physics
[02:12.83]在她小时候她对物理学有兴趣
[02:15.47]and read as many books as she could on the subject.
[02:17.90]在这个科目上她读了尽可能多的书.
[02:20.33]At that time women were not admitted to universities in Poland,
[02:23.41]在那个时候,在波兰妇女是不允许上大学的,
[02:26.49]so Marie was determined to go to Paris and study there.
[02:29.47]因此,玛丽下定决心到巴黎去学习.
[02:32.45]She arrived in Paris in 1891.
[02:34.88]1891年,她去到了巴黎.
[02:37.31]She had very little money to live on,

[03:37.84]Not long before another scientist had found that uranium gave off rays,
[03:41.77]不是很久以前,另外一个科家发现铀会发出光线,
[03:45.70]so Marie decided to study this area for her doctor's degree.

[03:56.80]One day she made an important discovery.

[04:00.88]There was a certain mineral which was even more radioactive than uranium.

[04:07.04]Therefore,she decided,it must contain some other matter
[04:11.90]that no one had yet discovered

[04:15.56]In 1898 she discovered the first of these new radioactive minerals,

[04:39.38]They devoted all their hours to working in their laboratory.

[04:54.24]"Life is not easy for any of us."

[05:12.54]而且,当我们发现这些东西是什么的时候,
[05:15.17]we must work hard at it until we succeed.
[05:17.60]"我们就必须努力干下去直到成功为止."
[05:20.03]One evening in 1902 as she was sitting with Pierre at home,she said to him,

[05:48.13]"Don't light the lamps.Look!"
[05:50.01]"不要开灯.看!"
[05:51.90]On the laboratory bench was a glass container
[05:57.36]from which came a tiny soft light
[05:59.48]在实验室的长椅上有一束微小的光从玻璃容器里面发出来.
[06:01.61]It was what they had been working so hard to find:pure radium.
[06:05.15]那就是他们努力工作的发现:纯净的镭.
[06:08.69]The matter that the Curies had discovered was radium.
[06:11.36]要紧的是居里夫妇已经发现的镭.
[06:14.02]It looked like ordinary salt,
[06:15.99]它看起来好像很普通,
[06:17.97]but was one million times more radioactive than uranium.
[06:21.09]但是它比铀的放射性多一百万倍.
[06:24.21]Its rays could go through every mineral except lead.
[06:26.94]它的光线除了铅之外,能穿过其他每一种矿物.
[06:29.67]In 1903 Marie received her doctor's degree for her study on radioactive matter.
[06:33.50]1903年,玛丽在她的放射性物质学习上取得了博士学位.
[06:37.32]Altogether,between 1899 and 1904 she and Pierre wrote 34 articles about their work
[06:42.40]总而言之,在1899年和1904年之间,她和皮埃尔写了34篇有关他们研究的文章.
[06:47.48]Marie Curie never made money out of her research.
[06:49.97]玛丽.居里从来不在她的研究上赚钱.
[06:52.45]She refused to treat these new discoveries as though they belonged to her,
[06:55.39]所以她不同意把这些新的发现看作是属于自己的东西,
[06:58.32]and instead shared all her knowledge with the whole scientific world.
[07:01.75]而是献出自己的全部知识,供整个科学界共享.
