One Small Word, One Big Difference in Meaning
As Neil Armstrong became the first man to walk on the Moon, a global audience of 500 million people were watching and listening. " That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind," they heard him say as he dropped from the ladder of his spacecraft to make the first human footprint on the lunar surface. It was the perfect quote for such a momentous occasion. But from the moment he said it, people have argued about whether the NASA astronaut got his lines wrong.
【B1】______In the tense six hours and forty minutes between landing on the Moon and stepping out of the capsule, Armstrong wrote what he knew would become some of the most memorable words in history.
【B2】______It would have been a more meaningful and grammatically correct sentence. Without the missing "a" , the intended meaning of the sentence is lost. In effect, the line means, "That’s one small step for mankind(or humanity), one giant leap for mankind. "
【B3】______Until his death Armstrong himself had never been sure if he actually said what he wrote. In his biography First Man he told the author James Hansen, "I must admit that it doesn’t sound like the word "a" is there. On the other hand, certainly the "a" was intended, because that’s the only way it makes sense.
【B4】______Using hi-tech sound analysis techniques, Peter Shann Ford, an Australian computer expert has discovered that the "a" was spoken by Armstrong, but he said it so quickly that it was inaudible on the recording which was broadcast to the world.
【B5】______James Hansen said, " Neil is a modest guy, but I think it means a lot to him to know that he didn’t make a mistake. "
