公元400年的一天,罗马亚历山大城的中心广场上,黑压压的人群正津津有味地倾听一位科学家充满智慧的演讲。然而,令人惊讶的是,这位身着斗篷、雄辩博学的哲学家却是一个年纪不大的羌貌女子。她,就是历史记载的最早的女科学家——希帕蒂娅! 公元415年3月的一天,亚历山大城的基督教堂钟声阵阵,似乎把人们的心灵引向洁白无暇的境界。然而,就在此时,一群暴徒奉命把一个40多岁的“异教徒”拖进教堂,当众撕去她的衣服,拔光她的头发,用尖利的蚝壳一块一块地割她的肉,最后砍下她的手脚,投进熊熊的“圣火”之中……这个惨遭杀害的人,就是希帕蒂娅!
On the day of the 400th AD, in the central square of the city of Alexandria, Rome, the dark masses of people were listening with indulgent rhetoric from a scientist. Surprisingly, however, the philosopher, dressed in a cloak and eloquent, is a young woman with a small age. She was the earliest female scientist in history—Hipatia! On the day of March 415, the bell of Christ Church in Alexander City seemed to lead people’s hearts to a pure and unblemished state. However, at this time, a group of thugs was ordered to drag a 40-year-old “pagan” into the church, tearing her clothes in public, pulling her hair out, cutting her flesh one by one with sharp clam shells, and finally Cut off her hands and feet and throw it into the blazing “sacred flame”... This person who was killed was Hippopatia!
