Roger Bacon

/ˌrɑːdʒər ˈbeɪkən/
- (c. 1214-92) a Franciscan monk and philosopher who became known as ‘Doctor Mirabilis’, or ‘the Admirable Doctor’. He was unusual for his time in regarding mathematics and science as very important. His writings show that he was particularly interested in chemistry, optics (= the scientific study of sight and light) and astrology, and he seems to have understood the possibilities of gunpowder, the telescope, glasses and flying. In 1278 his work was declared to be heretical (= opposed to religious beliefs) and he was put in prison until just before his death.
罗杰·培根（Roger Bacon）：（约1214-92年）一个方济各会的修士和哲学家，被称为“米拉比利斯医生”或“令人敬佩的医生”。在他认为数学和科学非常重要的时代，他与众不同。他的著作表明，他对化学，光学（对视和光的科学研究）和占星术特别感兴趣，而且他似乎已经了解了火药，望远镜，眼镜和飞行的可能性。1278年，他的工作被宣布为异端（与宗教信仰相对立），他被判入狱直至死亡。
