Marie and Pierre had many things named after them: a unit radioactivity is measured with is called the curie.

1个单位的射线被称为1居里。

Well funded and well respected, the Curies were on a roll.

居里夫妇资金雄厚，备受尊重，他们的表现非常出色。

And so both of the Curies and Becquerel shared the 1903 Nobel Prize, making Marie Curie the first female Nobel Laureate.

就这样， 居里夫妇和贝克勒尔共同获得了 1903 年的诺贝尔奖，居里夫人成为第一位女性诺贝尔奖获得者。

Next, by focusing on a super radioactive ore called pitchblende, the Curies realized that uranium alone couldn't be creating all the radiation.

接下来， 通过专注于一种叫做沥青铀矿的超级放射性矿石，居里夫妇意识到铀本身不可能产生所有的辐射。

By 1902, the Curies had extracted a tenth of a gram of pure radium chloride salt from several tons of pitchblende, an incredible feat at the time.

到 1902 年，居里夫妇从几吨沥青铀矿中提取了十分之一克的纯氯化镭盐，这在当时是一项了不起的壮举。
