Pelletier
the Royal Society
The work made Dalton famous—albeit in a low-key, English Quaker sort of way. In 1826, the French chemist P .J. Pelletier traveled to Manchester to meet the atomic hero. [---1---] According to the scientific historian E. J. Holmyard, a [-2-] Pelletier, upon beholding the great man, stammered:
"Est-ce que j'ai l'honneur de m'addresser à Monsieur Dalton?" for he could hardly believe his eyes that this was [-3-], teaching a boy his first four rules. "Yes," said the matter-of-fact Quaker. "Wilt thou sit down whilst I put this lad right about his arithmetic?"
[---4---] When he died in 1844, 40000 people viewed the coffin, and the funeral cortege [-5-] for two miles. His [-6-] in the Dictionary of National Biography is one of the longest, [-7-] those of Darwin and Lyell among 19th-century men of science.

Pelletier expected to find him attached to some grand institution, so he was astounded to discover him teaching elementary arithmetic to boys in a small school on a back street.

the chemist of European fame
Although Dalton tried to avoid all honors, he was elected to the Royal Society against his wishes, showered with medals, and given a handsome government pension.

entry
rivaled in length only by这项成就使道尔顿闻名遐迩--即使是以一种英国贵格会式的低调。1826年，法国化学家P.J.佩尔蒂埃来到曼彻斯特，想会一会这位原子英雄。佩尔蒂埃以为他属于哪个大机构，因此，当他发现道尔顿在小巷里的一所小学教孩子们基础算术的时候，不由得大吃一惊。据科学史家E.J.霍姆亚德说，佩尔蒂埃一见到这位大人物顿时不知所措，结结巴巴地说：
"请问，这位是道尔顿先生吗？"因为他无法相信自己的眼睛，这位欧洲赫赫有名的化学家竟然在教小孩子加减乘除。"没错儿，"那位贵格会教徒干巴巴地说，"请坐，让我先教会孩子这道算术题。"
虽然道尔顿想要远离一切荣誉，但他仍违心地当选为皇家学会会员，捧回一大堆奖章，获得一笔可观的政府退休金。他1844年去世的时候，40000人出来瞻仰他的棺木，送葬队伍长达3公里多。他在《英国人名词典》中的条目是字数最多的之一，在19世纪的科学界人士当中，论长度只有达尔文和莱尔能与之相比。 |
