Early in the autumn of 1674，Henry Oldenburg，secretary of the Royal Society in London，received an extraordinary letter.
早在1674年秋天,亨利·奥尔登堡在伦敦皇家学会的秘书,收到了一个非凡的信。

Sent by Antoni van Leeuwenhoek，a draper from Delft in the Netherlands，it contained an unlikely-sounding claim.
发送因为安东尼·范·列文虎克,德雷伯在荷兰代尔夫特,它包含一个unlikely-sounding索赔。
Using a microscope of his own invention，van Leeuwenhoek had seen tiny creatures，invisible to the naked eye，living in lake water.
使用显微镜的发明,范列文虎克看到微小的生物,肉眼看不见,生活在湖水。

Some of these “animalcules ” were so small，he later estimated that 30 million of them would still be smaller than a grain of sand.
其中的一些“微生物”是如此的小,他后来估计,3000万人仍将小于一粒沙子。
Royal Society fellows couldn't believe it.
皇家学会的研究员简直不敢相信。

Even with his most powerful instruments，the celebrated English microscopist Robert Hooke had never observed anything like the little creatures.
即使他最强大的工具,著名英语显微镜学家罗伯特胡克从来没有观察到的小动物
In fact，the Dutchman had developed far superior lenses to Hooke's，and had discovered bacteria and protozoans ．By producing even smaller and more curved lenses—using a technique that he kept secret—van Leeuwenhoek was able to magnify objects up to 500 times.
事实上,荷兰人已经开发出优于万向的镜头,并发现了细菌和原生动物凭生产更小和更弯lenses-using技术,他不停地secret-van列文虎克能够放大500倍的对象。

As well as discovering micro-organisms，he was the first to see red blood cells.
以及发现微生物,他是第一个看到红细胞。

In 1677，van Leeuwenhoek sent the Society further animalcule observations.
1677年,范列文虎克派社会进一步的微生物的观察。

Hooke eventually improved his own microscopes to the point where he，too，could see the tiny creatures.
胡克最终改善自己的显微镜,他也能看到微小的生物。

Three years later van Leeuwenhoek was made a fellow.
三年后,范列文虎克的。

It was not until 1890，more than 160 years after van Leeuwenhoek's death，that bacteria were linked with diseases.
直到1890年,范列文虎克的死后160多年,细菌与疾病联系在一起。

“Reading van Leeuwenhoek's letters，you very much get the impression of somebody dazzled by what he was finding，”says Lesley Robertson，leader of the archives at Delft University's school of microbiology.
“阅读范列文虎克的信,你非常让人眼花缭乱的印象,他发现,“莱斯利·罗伯逊说,领导人在代尔夫特理工大学微生物学档案。
