People often find it hard to make some inventions. So they think only a few people can be inventors! In fact, everyone can be an inventor if they want and are willing to start. 1 To be an inventor, here are some wrong ideas you should avoid.
Wrong idea 1: 2
Well, inventing means creating something new, but the idea could also come from something that is already there. The Wright brothers, for example, got the ideas for building a “flying machine” from watching birds.
Wrong idea 2: Inventors are born, not made.
There are a lot of factors(因素) that make inventions possible. Take Mozart for example. He was born with a special talent for music. 3 His father was a music teacher, and Mozart practised for hours every day from the time he was in kindergarten. Thomas Edison said that being an inventor was “99% hard work and 1% inspiration”. 4 As one inventor said, “A failure is the right answer to the wrong question!”
Wrong idea 3: Inventors are always old people.
5 Here is an example of young inventors: Louis Brille went blind when he was a child. When he was 15, he invented a system of reading and writing for blind people that is still used in most countries today.
A. But other factors were also important for his creativity.
B. Perhaps this sounds crazy, but it’s true.
C. Very successful creators also don’t give up when they get something wrong.
D. An invention has to be something totally new.
E. Young people don’t have the ability to make something new.
F. Believe that you can invent something when you are young.
G. Everyone agrees with the idea.

人们常常觉得进行一些发明创造很难。所以他们认为只有少数人能成为发明家!事实上,如果人们愿意并且愿意开始行动,每个人都能成为发明家。1要成为一名发明家,有一些错误的观念你应该避免。
错误观念1:2
嗯,发明意味着创造新的东西,但想法也可能来自已有的事物。例如,莱特兄弟从观察鸟类中得到了制造“飞行器”的想法。
错误观念2:发明家是天生的,不是后天造就的。
有很多因素使得发明成为可能。以莫扎特为例。他天生就有音乐方面的特殊天赋。3他的父亲是一名音乐教师,莫扎特从幼儿园时期就每天练习数小时。托马斯·爱迪生说过,成为一名发明家是“99%的努力工作加1%的灵感”。4正如一位发明家所说:“一次失败是对错误问题的正确答案!”
错误观念3:发明家总是老年人。
5这里有一个年轻发明家的例子:路易斯·布莱叶小时候失明了。15岁时,他发明了一种供盲人阅读和书写的系统,如今在大多数国家仍在使用。
A. 但其他因素对他的创造力也很重要。
B. 也许这听起来很疯狂,但这是真的。
C. 非常成功的创造者在犯错时也不会放弃。
D. 一项发明必须是全新的东西。
E. 年轻人没有能力创造新的东西。
F. 相信你在年轻时就能发明东西。
G. 每个人都认同这个想法。
