纪念约翰内斯·古腾堡
　

When it comes to first impressions, no other historical figure made one quite like the inventor of the mechanical movable type printing press: German craftsman Johannes Gutenberg. This revolutionary technology made the knowledge found in books both affordable and accessible to the common person for the first time in history. Today’s Doodle celebrates Gutenberg on the anniversary of this day in 2000 when the Gutenberg Museum launched a retrospective exhibition in his honor.

Although much of Gutenberg’s life is shrouded in mystery, historical records indicate he was born circa 1400 in Mainz, Germany, and first made his living as a metalworker in the goldsmith trade. By the late 1430s, historians believe Gutenberg began to develop a more efficient text printing device in an attempt to pay off debts from a failed mirror business. The machine he invented (essentially a retrofitted winepress) replaced the hand-carved wooden letter and graphic blocks of traditional printers for easily-cast metal type, which were then dipped in proprietary ink to print entire pages at once. 

Gutenberg’s next eureka moment came in 1450 with his invention’s first successful print: a Latin book on speech-making. From here, Gutenberg was off to the races as he innovated labor by hiring an assembly-line team to produce books quicker than ever! A testament to the power of human creativity, the Gutenberg press printed up to 3,600 pages on an average workday, fueling the first large-scale production of books in Europe. 

By the 16th century, an estimated 200 million books were in print thanks to his invention, which gave birth to a new era of mass communication and a new branch of media: the press. Today, Gutenberg’s legacy lives on with Project Gutenberg, an online library with over 60,000 free books. 

Thank you, Johannes Gutenberg! 

Happy birthday, Amácio Mazzaropi!

在第一印象中，没有其他历史人物能像机械可移动式印刷机的发明者一样：德国工匠约翰内斯·古腾堡（Johannes Gutenberg）。这项革命性的技术使书本中的知识既可负担，又是历史上首次让普通人可以获取。今天的Doodle在2000年这一天的周年纪念日庆祝古腾堡，当时古腾堡博物馆以他的名字举办了回顾展。

尽管古腾堡的大部分生活都笼罩在神秘之中，但历史记录表明，他大约在1400年出生于德国美因茨，并首先在金匠行业谋生。到1430年代后期，历史学家相信古腾堡（Gutenberg）开始开发一种效率更高的文本打印设备，以偿还镜子业务失败带来的债务。他发明的机器（本质上是翻新的酒压机）取代了手工印刷的木制字母和传统印刷机，用于易铸金属类型的印刷机，然后将其浸入专有墨水中以一次印刷整页。

古腾堡的下一个尤里卡时刻是1450年，他发明了第一本成功的印刷品：一本关于演讲的拉丁书。从这里开始，古腾堡（Gutenberg）参加了比赛，他通过雇用装配线团队来比以往更快地生产书籍来创新劳动方式！古腾堡出版社平均每天可打印多达3600页，这是人类创造力的证明，这为欧洲首次大规模生产书籍提供了动力。

到16世纪，由于他的发明，估计印刷了2亿本书，这催生了大众传播的新时代和媒体的新分支：新闻界。如今，古腾堡的遗产一直保存在古腾堡计划中，该计划是一个在线图书馆，拥有超过6万本免费书籍。

谢谢约翰内斯·古腾堡！
