华氏温度怎么来的?
Fahrenheit在他的文章【1】中描述了他的标定方法(这里引用了原文)

\"placing the thermometer in a mixture of sal ammoniac or sea salt, ice, and water a point on the scale will be found which is denoted as zero。
A second point is obtained if the same mixture is used without salt。 Denote this position as 30。
A third point, designated as 96, is obtained if the thermometer is placed in the mouth so as to acquire the heat of a healthy man。
