An essay written by the teacher to look over, on the
children's notebook on was
drawn to a big red
in Northern
California where she was raised, and Jean was
totally captivated by airplanes and
flying. She poured her
heart into her
report and included all of her dreams; she
wanted to crop dust, make parachute
jumps, seed clouds and be
an airline
pilot. Her paper came back with an

的飞机驾驶员，琼就是
在那里长大的，所以，从小就非常痴迷于飞机
和飞行。对老师布置的这篇作文，琼全心倾
注地去写，把她的全部梦

行员。“看看阿米莉娅

埃尔哈特〔
1898-1937,
美国女飞行员〕，”那
个老师不知道自己
在说些什么。”
But as the years went by, Jean was beaten down by the
discouragement and negativity she
encountered whenever she
talked about
her career-
never have, never will.
You're not smart enough, you're crazy.
That's impossible.
不过，随着时间一天天地过去，琼还是被消极劝阻 和否定态度给
击倒了
--
每当她谈起自己梦想的时候，人 们就会说“女孩子是不可能
成为飞行员的，现在不会，将来也不会。你太异想天开，简直
就是疯
了。那是不可能的。”

终于，琼认输放弃了。
In her senior year of high school, her English teacher
was a Mrs. Dorothy Slaton. Mrs. Slaton
was an uncompromising,
demanding
teacher with high standards and a low tolerance
for
e e? Waitress? I could do that.
That felt safe, so she wrote
it
down.
有一天，斯 莱顿夫人给全班同学布置了一项作业。“你想
10
年
后从
事什么工作?”琼思考着怎样写这项作业。做一名飞行员
?
那根本
行不通。做一名空中小姐
?
可我又不够漂亮
--
航空公司不会接纳我的。
做个妻子
?
可有谁会娶我 呢
?
做一个服务员呢
?
嗯，这我能做。这没有问< /p>
题，于是，就把这个想法写了下来。
Mrs. Slaton collected the papers and nothing more was
said. Two weeks
later, the teacher handed back the
assignments, face down on each desk,
and asked this question
：
finest schools, unlimited
talents and abilities, what would
you
do?
斯莱顿夫人收齐 了同学们的作文，也没有再说什么。两个星期以
后，老师把作文发给了同学们，正面朝下
放在课桌上。然后，她问道：
“同学们，假如你们有充足的金钱，有充分的机会到的学校
去上学，
并且你们本身又具有充足的天分和才能，那么，你们将会干什么呢?”
Jean felt a rush of the old enthusiasm, and with e muter
planes, but always as a copilot. Her
employers were openly
hesitant about
promoting her-because she was a woman. Even
her father advised her to try something
else.
impossible,
wall!
终于，她成了一名私人飞机的驾驶员，并且，还获 得了，驾驶货
