Listen to the history of the ballpoint and fill in the blanks with ONE or TWO appropriate words.
Audio transcript:
In the past, people wrote with feather pens and then used pens with metal points. They had to dip the point into ink after every few letters. Next, someone invented a fountain pen that could hold ink inside it. A fountain pen could write several pages before you have to fill it again.
Later, two Hungarian brothers, László and Gyõrgy Biró, invented the ballpoint pen that we all use today. They presented their pen at the Budapest International Fair in 1931 and patented it in 1938. In 1941, the Biro brothers and a friend, Juan Jorge Meyne, fled to Argentina. Then, they filed a new patent there in 1943. Their pens were sold in Argentina under the name Birome (which comes from Biró and Meyne). During World War II, English pilots liked Biró ballpoint pens. They couldn’t write with fountain pens in airplanes because Ink leaked out. Later, a French company bought the patent from Biró for the ballpoint pen in 1950. Today many manufacturers make ballpoint pens that work on the same principle invented by Biró, and ballpoint pen is even called “biro” in many countries like UK, Ireland, Australia and Italy.
Trước kia, mọi người viết bằng bút lông và sau đó dùng bút có đầu ngòi bằng kim loại. Họ phải nhúng đầu bút vào mực sau khi viết được vài chữ. Tiếp sau, bút máy, loại bút mà có thể chứa mực bên trong đã được phát minh. Một cây bút máy có thể viết một vài trang trước khi bạn phải bơm mực lại.
Sau đó, hai anh em người Hungary là László và Gyorgy Biró, đã phát minh ra bút bi mà tất cả chúng ta sử dụng ngày nay. Họ đã giới thiệu cây bút của mình tại Hội chợ quốc tế Bu-đa-pét vào năm 1931 và có bằng sáng chế nó vào năm 1938. Năm 1941, anh em Biro và một người bạn là Juan Jorge Meyne đã trốn sang Ác-hen-ti-na. Sau đó, họ đã nộp bằng sáng chế mới vào năm 1943. Bút của họ được bán ở Ác-hen-ti-na với cái tên Birome (xuất phát từ Biró và Meyne). Trong suốt Thế chiến thứ hai, các phi công người Anh thích bút bi của Biró. Họ không thể viết bằng bút máy trong máy bay vì mực bị rò rỉ. Sau đó, một công ty của Pháp đã mua bằng sáng chế bút bi của Biró vào năm 1950. Ngày nay, nhiều công ty sản xuất bút bi hoạt động theo nguyên tắc tương tự như phát minh của Biró, và bút bi thậm chí còn được gọi là “biro” ở nhiều quốc gia như Vương quốc Anh, Ai-len, úc và Ý
