简介：自儒勒·凡尔纳1865年时写出《从地球到月球》这部伟大的作品，迄今人类又经历了150多年的时光的流逝。人类已经能够登陆到月球。只不过，百多年前的凡尔纳先生的这部了不起的作品里充斥着一些今天的读者读起来感到有些陌生的情节罢了。但这正是凡尔纳先生的*有趣的一面，因为，是他想象出某种登月的工具出来，尽管不太切合实际。但与今天人类登月工具相比，也没有太出格之处。比如，凡尔纳先生想像到宇宙飞船应该是从大炮膛里被射向月球。这听上去的确很滑稽，然而，正是这种想象力，才使得人类后来朝登月的梦想一步步走过去。

Simple tradesmen jumped their counters to become extemporized captains, colonels, and generals, without having ever passed the School of Instruction at West Point;nevertheless; they quickly rivaled their compeers of the old continent, and, like them, carried off victories by dint of lavish expenditure in ammunition, money,and men.
