真的假的

和 康宁公司你不知道的事 Things You Didn't Know About Corning 爱迪生发明完灯泡之后 After Edison invented the light bulb 一直找不到合适的玻璃 I couldn't find the right glass 他要球型的玻璃 He asked for the type of glass. 还要里面抽真空 And vacuum the inside. 还要价格便宜 And cheap. 最后有一家公司接单了 Finally, a company took the order. 然后这里大家注意了 And here you see attention. 从这一天开始 From this day on 130年过去 130 years have passed 2007年 Year 2007 世界上第一部苹果手机诞生之前 The birth of the world's first Apple phone 乔布斯当时也在满世界找一块玻璃 Steve Jobs was also looking for a piece of glass all over the world 因为他为人类设计了一台全触屏手机 Because he designed a full-touch phone for humans 需要大量使用手指滑动屏幕 It requires a lot of use of fingers to swipe the screen 但是当时的手机屏幕都是塑料屏幕 But mobile phone screens at that time were all plastic screens 是这样的 It's the following. 我想大家应该都还记得 I think everyone should remember 然后乔布斯就发现这种塑料屏幕 Then Jobs discovered this plastic screen 不出一个月 In less than a month 屏幕上就全是划痕 The screen is full of scratches 所以最好的办法就是用玻璃屏幕 So the best way is to use a glass screen 但是玻璃在手机上虽然没有划痕 But the glass is on the phone, although there are no scratches. 但是容易碎 But easily broken 所以乔布斯就很头疼 So Jobs had a headache 只能满世界找 You can only find it all over the world. 最后他找到了 Finally he found 就是这家 This is it. 当初为爱迪生研发灯泡的玻璃公司 The glass company that developed the light bulb for Edison 康宁公司 Corning. 从爱迪生到乔布斯 From Edison to Steve Jobs 130年过去了 130 years have passed 这家公司竟然还活着 This company is still alive 而且活得很好 She's alive and well. 乔布斯和康宁公司说了自己的想法 Steve Jobs talked to Corning about his ideas. 然后康宁公司直接拿出一个 Then Corning directly took out a 他们40年前的技术 Their technology from 40 years ago 他告诉乔布斯40年前 He told Steve Jobs 40 years ago 我们研发出一种无比坚硬的玻璃 We've developed an incredibly hard glass. 叫做金刚玻璃 It's called diamond glass. 但是一直没有找到市场 But never found a market 就一直放在那没用 It's useless to just leave it there 早就停产了 It's been discontinued for a long time. 然后那一瞬间 And then that moment 办公室里面两个人一拍即合 Two people in the office hit it off 这块儿隐匿了40年的玻璃 This piece of glass has been hidden for 40 years 就这样被搬到了苹果手机上 So it was moved to the iPhone. 改变了这个世界 Changed the world 自从苹果用了这个玻璃之后 Since Apple used this glass 后面几乎所有手机都找康宁买玻璃 Almost all mobile phones in the back ask Corning to buy glass. 从乔布斯开始 It all started with Steve Jobs. 短短十几年时间 In just a dozen years 这块儿玻璃一共全球卖了超过80亿块儿 This piece of glass has sold for more than 8 billion pieces worldwide 给康宁一共带来超过1400亿人民币的收入 Bringing in over 140 billion yuan in revenue 此时此刻你用手机看的这个视频 This Moment You watched this video on your phone. 大概率就是透过康宁玻璃看到的 Most likely it was seen through Corning glass 故事结束 End of story 下面我再想说一点各位更不知道的 And I want to tell you one more thing that you don't know. 其实康宁公司现在最主要的业务 In fact, Corning's main business now 并不是手机玻璃 It's not a phone glass. 虽然很赚钱 Although very profitable 但是他不是主业 But he is not the main business 他们公司最大的业务是通信 Their company's largest business is communications 因为他们公司最重要的成绩 Because their company's most important achievement 不是帮爱迪生做出灯泡 Not helping Edison make the light bulb. 也不是帮乔布斯做出手机屏幕玻璃 I'm not helping Steve Jobs make glass for mobile phone screens. 这都还不是他们对人类最大的贡献 That's not even their greatest contribution to humanity. 他们最大的贡献是帮人类做出了第一根光纤 Their greatest contribution helped humans make the first optical fiber 1970年康宁公司做出了人类历史上 In 1970, Corning Inc. made the first attempt in human history 第一根量产的光纤 The first mass-produced optical fiber 我们今天光纤通信的信息高速公路 The information superhighway of today's fiber optic communications 其实就是康宁开创的 It was actually pioneered by Corning 所以光通信才是他们公司的第一大业务 Optical communication is their company's number one business 然后才是手机电脑等各种屏幕玻璃 Then there are various screen glasses such as mobile phones and computers. 然后还有什么阿波罗登月的玻璃 And then what about the Apollo moon landing glass? 哈佛望远镜的玻璃 The glass of the Harvard Telescope 这些玻璃都是康宁公司做的 All this glass is made by Corning. 所以100多年他们聚焦一块玻璃 So over 100 years, they focus on a piece of glass. 其实就可以多次改变这个世界 In fact, you can change the world many times over 此篇相同回報者之文章列表
