课本出错 爱迪生并未发明电灯?
爱因斯坦在学校时成绩很差？老鼠喜欢奶酪？拿破仑是个矮子？课本里教给我们的竟是错的。

Edison invented a lot of things – in fact he’s one of the most famous inventors of all time – but the light bulb wasn’t one of them. What he did was develop a light bulb at the same time as the British man, Joseph Swan, who came up with it originally.
爱迪生发明了很多东西，事实上他确实是著名发明家之一，但是灯泡不是其中之一。在英国人约瑟夫·斯万发明了电灯泡后，他只是做了一下改良。
2) Mice like cheese
老鼠喜欢奶酪
Mice enjoy food rich in sugar as well as peanut butter and breakfast cereals. So a Snickers bar would go down much better than a lump of cheddar. 老鼠喜欢花生酱、早餐食品或者其他类似的含糖分高的东西。因此一块巧克力要比一块奶酪更有吸引力。
3) Einstein got bad grades in school.
爱因斯坦在学校时成绩很差
Generations of children have been heartened by the thought that this Nobel Prize winner did badly at school, but they’re sadly mistaken. In fact, he did very well at school, especially in science and maths . 几代的孩子从小就被灌输过这位伟大的诺贝尔得主在学校时学习成绩很差，但是他们都误会了。事实上，他在学校表现很优秀，尤其是在科学和数学方面。
4) Napoleon was short.
拿破仑是个矮子
He was actually around 5ft 7, completely average for the 18th/19th century.
实际上拿破仑实际身高为5英尺7英寸，约170厘米，在18,19世纪算是中等身高。
