摘　　要：在威尔逊·本特利15岁生日的时候,母亲送他一个自己教学用的旧显微镜。或许作为生日礼物,这台显微镜算不上有多好,但对于威尔逊这个生活在19世纪80年代佛蒙特州的农场男孩来说,却非常特别。从此,威尔逊开始用显微镜观察雪花,他对雪花的痴迷延续一生,他也因拍摄雪花特写照片而闻名于世。Wilson Bentley received a gift on his 15th birthday that changed his life.His mother gave him an old microscope she had once used in teaching.As birthday gifts go,it might not have seemed like much.But to an 1880s Vermont farm boy,it was special.“When the other boys of my age were playing with popguns and slingshots,I was absorbed in studying things under this microscope,”Bentley later wrote.
