伟大的演讲 - The Future of Women in Flying Amelia Earhart 阿米莉亚.伊和特 女性在飞行业中的未来 Perhaps, I am prejudiced, but to me it seems that no other phase of modern progress contrived to maintain such a brimming measure of a lithesome beauty coupled with utility, as does aviation. 或许我是带有些偏见，但对我来说，似乎没有别的现代科技发展能像飞行一样，把轻盈之美和实际之用结合得如此恰到好处。 Background American aviator Charles Lindbergh was the first pilot to accomplish a solo, nonstop flight across the Atlantic Ocean. In 1932, after five years, female aviator Amelia Earhart repeated the feat, landing her plane in Ireland after flying across the North Atlantic. 背景 美国飞行员查理·林德伯是首位完成单独驾机无间歇飞越大西洋的人。在五年之后， 也就是1932年，女飞行员阿米莉亚·伊和特驾机飞越北大西洋，并把她的飞机降落在爱尔兰机场， 也成功地完成 Within itself, this industry embraces many of those scientific accomplishments which yesterday seemed fantastic impossibilities. The pilot winging his way above the earth at 200 miles an hour, talks by radio-telephone to ground stations or to other planes in the air. In thick weather he is guided by radio beams and receives detailed reports of conditions ahead, gleaned through special instruments and new methods of meteorological calculation. He sits behind engines the reliability of which, measured by yardsticks of the past, is all but unbelievable. 在这个行业里，实现了许多在昔日看来决不可能的科技成就。飞行员以每小时两百英里的速度飞离地球，用无线电通话机与地面站点或其他飞机在空中对话；在云层浓密的天气时，他让无线电波领航；还接收那些通过特殊装置和新型气象测算方法收集的未来天气状况的详细预告。他使用的发动机的可靠性，用以前的标准来衡量，是令人难以置信的。 I myself still fly a was-motor which has a carried me over the North Atlantic, part of the Pacific, to and from Mexico City, and many times across this Continent. Aviation, this young modern giant, exemplifies the possible relationship of woman and the creations of science. Although women as yet have not taken full advantage of its use and benefits, air travel is as available to them as to men. 我自己仍然在驾驶一套旧引擎飞机，它载着我往返于墨西哥城，飞过了北大西洋和部分太平洋海域，还曾经多次穿越欧洲大陆。 航空事业这个年轻的现代巨人，很好地例证了女性和科学创造间的可能联系。虽然女性还没能充分利用到飞行的效用和益处，但飞行已经是没有
