On a lively street in the lovely city of Paris， a girl named Aída glanced up and was dazzled4 by the sight of an airship. Oh， how she wished she could soar through the sky like that！The inventor of the airship， Alberto， invited Aída to ride with him， but she didnt want to be a passenger. She wanted to be the pilot.

在美麗的巴黎市區(qū)一條熱鬧的街道上，一位名叫阿依達的女孩抬頭看見了飛艇，感到眼花繚亂。哦，她多么希望自己能像那樣在天空中翱翔！飛艇的發(fā)明者阿爾伯托邀請阿依達和他一起乘坐，但她不想成為一名乘客，她想成為飛行員。

Aída was just a teenager， and no woman or girl had ever flown before. She didnt let that stop her， though. All she needed was courage and a chance to try.

阿依達只是一個十幾歲的孩子，之前從未有過任何女性飛行過。不過，那并沒有阻礙她。她所需要的只是勇氣和嘗試的機會。
