Cyrus Hall McCormick had spent many a weary day swinging a scythe back and forth across the fields of golden grain. Then he began to think and work. When he finished, he had made a machine. Most people laughed at it, but the kind of machine he made will cut more wheat in one day than Cyrus could cut in twenty days with his scythe.
赛勒斯·霍尔·麦考密克在金色的麦谷地里挥舞着镰刀,度过了许多劳累的日子。然后他开始思考和工作。当他完成时,他已经制造了一台机器。大多数人都嘲笑他,但是他所做的机器一天能割的小麦比居鲁士用镰刀一天能割的小麦还要多。
This is the true story of a man named Cyrus Hall McCormick, who as a boy lived on a farm in the Shenandoah Valley in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia.
