From pie plate to flying disk
The flying disk is a toy which was invented by a group of college students. It was invented in the 1950s.
In fact, the students didn’t invent it.
They just discovered it. The original flying disk was really a metal pie plate from a bakery named Bridgeport in Connecticut. The students there liked to eat the bakery’s pies. And then they threw the pie plates around. A company began making plastic disk. Now there are flying disk clubs, a flying disk magazine, and even a national flying disk festival in September.
Don’t you think it’s amazing that all this started from a pie plate?
中文意思
从糕点盘到飞盘
飞碟作为一种玩具是被一群大学生在1950年所发明的.
事实上这些大学生并没有发明飞碟只是发现了它.最初的飞碟其实就是来自一个在美国康涅狄格州的一个名叫Bridgeport 的面包店里的一个做饼干的铁盘.这些学生们喜欢吃这家面包店的饼干,每次他们吃完就把这些铁盘扔的到处都是.后来有一家公司开始制造塑料飞碟.现在的飞碟俱乐部,飞碟杂志,还有在9月举办的国家飞碟节,你会相信这些都是起源于一个做饼干的铁盘吗?
