　　The year was 1932. Amelia Earhart was flying alone from North America to England in a small single—engined aeroplane. At midnight, several hours after she had left Newfoundland, she ran into bad weather. To make things worse, her altimeter (高度表) failed and she didn’t know how high she was flying.

　　原文翻译：

　　那是193。阿米莉亚·埃尔哈特独自乘坐一架小型单引擎飞机从北美飞往英国。在她离开纽芬兰几个小时后的午夜，她遇到了坏天气。更糟的是，她的高度计(高度表)失灵了，她不知道自己飞行的高度有多高。在夜间，在暴风雨中，没有高度计的飞行员很困难。有时，她的飞机差点坠入大海。

　　就在黎明前，有更多的麻烦。阿米莉亚注意到发动机喷出火焰。她能到达陆地吗?除了继续前进和希望之外，什么都没做。

　　 后，阿米莉亚·埃尔哈特到达了爱尔兰，由于她表现出的勇气，她在英国和欧洲受到了热烈的欢迎。回到美国后，胡佛总统在白宫的一次特别晚宴上对她表示了敬意。从那时起，阿米莉亚·埃尔哈特就出名了。

　　她的飞行有什么重要的?阿米莉亚·埃尔哈特是第一位独自飞越大西洋的女性，她创下了14小时56分钟的飞行记录。

　　在随后的几年里，阿米莉亚·埃尔哈特在美国进行了几次飞行，每一次(时刻)她都创造了飞行时间的新纪录。阿米莉亚·埃尔哈特做这些飞行是为了证明女性在航空业有一席之地，而航空旅行是有用的。
