Marie Curie’s Story
英文：
Marie Curie, born Maria Sklodowska on November 7, 1867, in Warsaw, Poland, was a pioneering physicist and chemist. She is best known for her groundbreaking work on radioactivity, which earned her two Nobel Prizes—the first woman to win the Nobel Prize and the only person to win in two different sciences.
Curie’s passion for science began at a young age. Despite the lack of formal education for women in Poland at the time, she managed to educate herself and eventually earned a scholarship to study in Paris. There, she met her future husband, Pierre Curie, a fellow scientist and professor at the University of Paris.
Together, Pierre and Marie Curie embarked on a journey to uncover the secrets of radioactivity. They discovered two new elements, polonium and radium, and conducted extensive research on their properties. Their work not only advanced the field of physics but also had significant implications for medicine.
During World War I, Curie used her knowledge of radioactivity to develop mobile radiography units, which were used to treat wounded soldiers. Her dedication and innovation in this area earned her the title of “The Mother of Radiology.”
Despite the many challenges she faced, including the loss of her husband and daughter, Curie continued her research until her death on July 4, 1934. Her contributions to science have had a lasting impact, and she remains an inspiration to scientists and women around the world.

居里夫人，原名玛丽亚·斯克沃多夫斯卡，1867年11月7日出生于波兰华沙，是一位开创性的物理学家和化学家。她因在放射性领域的开创性工作而闻名，获得了两次诺贝尔奖——成为第一位获得诺贝尔奖的女性，也是唯一一位两次获得不同科学奖项的人。
居里夫人对科学的热情始于孩提时代。尽管当时波兰女性缺乏正规教育，但她自学成才，并**获得了奖学金前往巴黎学习。在那里，她遇到了未来的丈夫皮埃尔·居里，他也是巴黎大学的一名科学家和教授。
皮埃尔和玛丽亚·居里一起踏上了探索放射性的秘密的旅程。他们发现了两种新的元素——钋和镭，并对其性质进行了广泛的研究。他们的工作不仅推动了物理学领域的发展，也对医学产生了重大影响。
在第一次世界大战期间，居里夫人利用她对放射性的知识开发了移动X光机，用于治疗受伤的士兵。她在这一领域的奉献和创新使她获得了“放射学之母”的称号。
尽管她面临了许多挑战，包括丈夫和女儿的去世，但居里夫人继续她的研究，直到1934年7月4日去世。她对科学的贡献产生了持久的影响，并且她仍然是科学家和世界各地女性的灵感来源。
