娜麗‧布萊 (Nellie Bly) 環遊世界

1890年1月25日

布萊小姐並不是第一次嘗試冒險。曾經有一次，她假裝自己發瘋了，並且進入紐約市一處精神病院裡10天，後來她將精神病院裡惡劣的環境與生活條件確實報導出來。她的精神病院報導，以及後來所做的貧民區的報導，都使人們採取行動來改善這些惡劣的生活條件、環境。布萊也協助女性在新聞業界的發展。你有沒有想過要當一個記者？你覺得現在環遊世界一周要花多少時間呢？你會怎麼安排你的行程？

Miss Bly was no stranger to taking risks. Once, pretending to be insane, she had herself committed to an asylum in New York for ten days so she could expose the horrible conditions there. Her report on the asylum, and later reports on slum life, inspired people to change these conditions. She also helped to pave the way for women in journalism. Have you ever thought of being a reporter? How long do you think it would take to go around the world today? How would you make your journey?
