词汇 | one small step for a man one giant leap for mankind |
词源 | One small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind. These were the words of American astronaut Neil Armstrong when he became the first man to step on the moon on July 20, 1969. Unfortunately, in Armstrong’s transmission of the words, the indefinite article a was inaudible and thus the words are often given incorrectly today as That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind, which makes little sense. |
