Third on our list is an Olympic legend, Romanian gymnast Nadia Comaneci.

排名第三的是奥运传奇人物、罗马尼亚体操运动员纳迪亚·科马内奇。

Comaneci holds the distinction of being the first athlete to ever be awarded a perfect 10 in an Olympic event.

科马内奇是第一位在奥运会项目上获得满分10分的运动员。

She achieved that perfect score seven times during the Montreal Olympics in 1976 and took home three gold medals as a result.

在1976年蒙特利尔奥运会期间,她七次获得完美成绩,并因此获得了三枚金牌。

Though Amelia Earhart is well known as a pioneering aviator and the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean, number four on our list is Beryl Markham, the first person to fly solo across the Atlantic from the east to the west.

虽然阿米莉亚·埃尔哈特是一位著名的先驱飞行员,也是第一位独自飞越大西洋的女性,但在我们的榜单上排名第四的是柏瑞尔·马卡姆,她是第一个从东到西飞越大西洋的人。

Markham led a fascinating life.

马卡姆的生活很精彩。

She was born in England, but raised in British East Africa.

她出生在英国,但在英属东非长大。

When her father's fortune was lost, she remained on her own in Kenya and at 18, became the first woman in Africa to receive a racehorse-trainer's license.

当她父亲破产后,她独自一人留在肯尼亚,18岁时成为非洲第一个获得驯马师执照的女性。

By her late 20s, she had learned to fly and became a commercial pilot, with her historic flight occurring in 1936.

到她快30岁的时候,她学会了飞行,并成为了一名商业飞行员,她历史性的飞行发生在1936年。

She is also remembered for her memoir, "West with the Night."

她还因为她的回忆录《夜西行》而被人们铭记。

Our final trailblazing woman is U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice Sonia Sotomayor.

我们最后一位开创性的女性是美国最高法院法官索尼娅·索托马约尔。

Not only was Sotomayor just the third woman to serve on the Court, but she was the first Hispanic to be appointed to that prestigious role.

索托马约尔不仅是最高法院的第三位女性大法官,而且还是第一位被任命担任这一重要职位的拉美裔大法官。

Born in the Bronx, New York, Sotomayor was first appointed to the federal judiciary by the elder President Bush and in that role, famously helped to end the 1995 Major League Baseball strike by ruling in favor of the players in the lawsuit against team owners.

索托马约尔出生于纽约布朗克斯区,最初由老布什总统任命为联邦司法部门的一员,在这一职位上,1995年,索托马约尔因一桩案子的判决成为全国名人,美国职业棒球大联盟的罢工中,作为主审法官,索托马约尔做出有利于球员的判决。

She was nominated to the highest court by President Barack Obama in 2009 and released a memoir, "My Beloved World," in 2013.

2009年,她被奥巴马总统提名为最高法院法官,并于2013年出版了回忆录《我挚爱的世界》。

And that's five, just a small sample of the achievements and contributions achieved first -- and at least for a time, only -- by women.

这是五个例子只是女性首先——-至少是一段时间内——取得的成就和贡献的一小部分。

So... What are you going to be the first person to accomplish?

所以,你要成为第一个取得成就的人吗?
