1·In 197o, researchers at Corning Glass Works were able to produce a kilometer-long ultrapure optical fiber.
1970年，康宁玻璃厂的研究者们能生产出了光可以穿行1千米的超纯光纤。
2·It was created as a joint venture between Corning Glass Works (now Corning, Incorporated) and The Dow Chemical Company.
它的创建是一间康宁玻璃厂(现为康宁公司)和陶氏化学公司合资。
3·Corning Glass co., Ltd. is one of America's top 500 companies, employs 25,000 people in 15 countries and has 50 branch offices.
康宁玻璃有限公司是美国500强公司之一，公司在15个国家的25,000人，并有50个分支机构。
4·A welcome ceremony was held in the conference hall in Corning Glass Works. Our factory Manager and I were arranged to sit in the first row.
康宁会议大厅里，举行了欢迎仪式，我和厂长被安排在前排就坐。
5·It is different, because with painted glass the idea of light corning through to create the magical effect wasn't the focus any more.
情况由于彩绘玻璃的产生变得不同了，通过光穿透玻璃所制造的奇幻效果也不再是亮点。
6·Cannily, the Corning researchers simply took the arithmetic mean of the oxide compositions and created a winning combination, known as "1737 glass", with exactly the right density.
康宁公司精明的研究人员们仅采用了算术平均法来处理氧化物，便成功地制造出一种称为“1737玻璃”的合成物，该玻璃的密度正好符合要求。
7·The finished product, Corning says, is two times stronger than traditional glass at half the thickness.
Corning公司表示，最终的产品在厚度减半的情况下其硬度是传统玻璃的两倍。
8·A predecessor to the glass was made by Corning in the 1960s, nearly 50 years before the company resuscitated and tweaked the technology for "damage resistant" displays for consumer electronics.
它是一种名叫Gorilla Glass的产品，是玻璃的前身，由Corning公司成功研制于二十世纪六十年代。 近50年后，该技术经改进后用于制作消费类电子产品的“防破坏”（damage resistant）显示屏，这样这项技术才得以复活。
9·And the Corning Web site seems to confirm that this is special stuff: "Gorilla glass is an environmentally friendly alkali-aluminosilicate thin-sheet glass."
康宁公司网站貌似证实，这是一种特殊材料：“Gorilla玻璃，是环保的碱性铝硅酸盐薄板玻璃。”
10·This week for example, Corning, a glass manufacturer, said it would begin manufacturing Gorilla Glass, a type of glass that was developed in the 1960s and is extremely strong and durable.
比如这周，玻璃制造商corining公司，宣布现在开始制造Gorlla 玻璃，这种玻璃1960年就已经发明并且非常坚固。
